📖What is Palpitations?

Palpitations are a sensation of the heart racing, pounding, fluttering, or skipping beats, which can be felt in the chest, throat, or neck. They are often brief and harmless, triggered by stress, caffeine, or exercise, but can occasionally indicate an underlying heart rhythm problem. Episodes may last seconds to minutes and can occur at rest or with exertion.
