What Causes Recurring Bouts Of Restlessness And Palpitation?

I feel jittery for no reason and does not last long it may last 15-20 minutes and I have this experience almost daily. It feels like I have a heart is racing.. I stay away from caffeine. What could be the reason? I am 51 years old. i consider myself active and in good health and average weight. I walk 2 - 2 1/2 miles each day and try to eat healthy diet.

Hello,

I think it can be related to stress and anxiety. Avoid caffeine beverages and coffee. Using atenolol can be advisable to help normalize the heart rate.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
