heart palpitations

Chest rhythm disturbance

Heart palpitations are sensations of your heart beating irregularly, too fast, or too hard—feelings often described as fluttering, pounding, or skipping beats.

They can be triggered by caffeine, stress, exercise, or anxiety, though they sometimes indicate underlying cardiac conditions.

Most people experience occasional palpitations that are harmless, but persistent or severe episodes warrant medical attention.

I get heart palpitations whenever I drink too much coffee.
