Palpitations

Palpitations are feelings that your heartbeat is irregular, too fast, too slow, or pounding. They can be caused by stress, caffeine, medications, or underlying health issues like heart problems or hormonal changes. While often harmless, palpitations may signal a cardiac condition requiring medical attention, especially if they are persistent, accompanied by dizziness, chest pain, or shortness of breath. Understanding their cause is important for proper management. If you experience frequent or severe palpitations, consult a healthcare professional for an accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment.
