Palpitations
Palpitations refer to the sensation of your heart racing, pounding, or fluttering. Often caused by stress, anxiety, or consumption of stimulants, palpitations can also signal underlying medical conditions such as arrhythmias or hyperthyroidism. Although usually benign, persistent palpitations should be evaluated by a healthcare professional.
