Question

Hello Lybrate user, there are several causes of palpitation such as lack of sleep, stress, prolong anxiety, (palpitations is also one of the several symptoms of generalize anxiety disorder.). Other causes includes over-intake of caffeine, medication, hormonal changes etc. Palpitation due above causes is harmless but it does hamper the normal routine and mental harmony. Other important causes could be heart conditions for which I would suggest you to take opinion of cardiologist to rule out the any heart concern.
