Cardiologist,  's  Response
Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Regarding your concern, I would explain that your symptoms could be related to the caffeine tablet adverse effects. For this reason, I would recommend avoiding it in the next days. A cardiac arrhythmia can not be excluded either. For this reason, it is important consulting with your attending physician for a physical exam and some tests:

- a resting ECG and a cardiac ultrasound
- complete blood count
- blood electrolytes for any possible imbalance.

If these episodes keep repeating, an ambulatory 24-48 hours ECG monitoring will be necessary to investigate for possible cardiac arrhythmia.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
