Heart Palpitations

[1badMF]

How much coffee do you drink? In my younger days, I used to drink several cups a day and started getting heart palpitations towards the end of the day, in the late afternoon after my 5th or 6th cup of strong black coffee of the day. They went away when I dropped back down to a more sane level of coffee (1 cup a day now).

I'm like my mother, we are coffee junkies and she gets palpitations too...

ASK YOUR DOCTOR ABOUT WEARING A HOLTER MONITOR TO CAPTURE "THE EVENT" TO SEE EXACTLY WHAT THIS SENSATION IS...PREMATURE ATRIAL CONTRACTIONS, PREMATURE VENTRICULAR CONTRACTIONS ETC ALSO AVOID STIMULANTS CAFFIENE NICOTINE CHOCALATE ETC GOOD LUCK

I have this problem occasionally. I am caffeine sensitive since a few yrs ago. lower the caffeine and ask your doctor to send you for a echo stress test

PREMATURE ATRIAL CONTRACTIONS, PREMATURE VENTRICULAR CONTRACTIONS ETC

Maybe these won't occur if you think about something else while you're working out. :)
