I am lucky enough to get regular palpitations. I read that caffeine can make them worse, so I stopped for a few months. They got worse. Talked to my Dr about it and he said yeah, sometimes it doesn't work like you'd think.
(Along the same lines, actually, I also made my palpitations much worse this year by dramatically improving my physical fitness. Turns out that slow heart rate for me means more palpitations. Heart rates above ~70 means almost no palpitations. Something about overdrive, but I am not an expert.)
So at least I don't have to give up my caffeine ;-)

- JSR_FDED 11mo agoThank you! I’ve noticed exactly this…more palpitations when I don’t drink coffee. Two cups a day keep the palpitations away.
