What Causes Palpitations After Having Caffeine?

I feel as if I m having heart palpitations. I have eaten bread and cheese. I have had 1 cup of caffeine. I have had 2 cups of water. I have no health issues of heart disease. But, I have had off and on for the past week the sudden onset of what I can only describe as palpitations...throbbing heart beat that I can feel in my sternum.

Hello.
I am Dr Mittal.
I have read your message.
I think I can help you.
The recurrent episodes of palpitations are known to occur in conditions like arrhythmia.
Another possible cause is hyperthyroidism.
I would suggest testing a HOLTER test and Thyroid Profile.
Do let us know when you get the reports.
Further suggestions on medication can be suggested as per the reports.
I have tried to make it as simple as possible.
Feel free to contact us for any further information that you may need.
Best wishes, Dr Mittal
