PALPITATIONS

Palpitations are an awareness of abnormally fast or irregular heartbeats. They are most often caused by stimulants, such as caffeine & nicotine, or by anxiety. Palpitations may also occur as a side effect of medication or because of a heart disorder. Call your doctor immediately if you have other symptoms or if palpitations are frequent or persistent.
