What are heart palpitations?
Palpitations are the uncomfortable feeling that you are aware of your own heart beating. Symptoms include that your heart may feel like it is beating faster or harder than it usually does, or that it may be skipping a beat (irregular heartbeat).
Heart palpitations are normal, and occur in times of stress, anxiety, fear or exercise. You may also notice heart palpitations and an irregular heartbeat if:
* You are drinking too much caffeine or alcohol
* You smoke tobacco
* You have anemia
* You have thyroid problems
* You are diabetic, and are experiencing a low blood sugar level
* You are taking certain medicines, such as diet pills, and decongestants
* You have certain heart conditions, such as mitral valve prolapse
