Can Heart Palpitations Be Linked With More Caffeine Intake?
I am 25 years old and for about the past six months i've been experiencing heart palpitations and some chest pain ( but not frequently ). Some times i won't get have palpitations at all, for say a week or so, but then for about three or four days straight i will have them. Could this be associated with caffeine intake or could it be somthing more serious?

Hi
it can be related yo caffein intake ,caffein is a stimulant and stimulates the heart, caffein can precipitae palpitations and arrythmias.
so yes it can be because of caffein also
however things could be serious also ,palpitations can be caused by arrythmias also ,some of the arrythmias can be life threatining also
so i would advise to
go for a holter monitoring it records the heart beats for 24hours and we can see the nature of palpitation whether its normal fast heart beat or arrythmia
