The reason that people suddenly notice their heart is usually because of a sudden change in how fast or how hard it is beating. Though heart palpitations are common and usually do not indicate a heart issue, feeling your heart beat quickly can certainly cause anxiety. Often, heart palpitations are linked to psychological or dietary issues.
• Do not use illegal street drugs, such as cocaine.
• Avoid caffeine, alcohol and tobacco.
• Tell your doctor what medicines and herbal supplements you take, how much alcohol you drink, and if you use anything else that might cause palpitations.
It may be difficult for your doctor to determine the cause of your palpitations, especially if you are not experiencing them during your office visit. In some cases, a cause of the palpitations may not be found.
