Could be due to a heart condition such as a structural defect or arrhythmia!. Could be due to a harmless, common arrhythmia known as PVC- premature ventricular contractions!. Caffeine, exercise, stress, alcohol, certain medications!.!.!. all of these can cause what you're describing!.!.!. which are palpitations!.

If it's bothering you or you're experiencing other symptoms such as chest pain, light-headedness, fainting, fatigue, or difficulty breathing see your doctor!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

You need to discuss this with your doctor!. It could be a symptom of something minor to something serious!. I know that when that happens to me, my potassium level is off!. It could be either too high or a bit low!. That causes me to be alert to go to the doctor and get a blood test to check my hormone and mineral levels (and my doctor fixes it with medication), BUT I have a chronic illness and that's to be expected of ME!. Which has nothing to do with whats happening to you!. Please don't try to self diagnose yourself and go to your doctor for a check up!. It won't be a waste of time and you might find out its nothing! So be safe and take care!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
