Heart palpitations are sensations of a racing or fluttering heart, often harmless and triggered by stress, physical activity, stimulants, or hormonal changes. While usually benign, they can indicate serious issues like arrhythmias or heart disease if frequent or accompanied by symptoms like chest pain or shortness of breath. Warning signs include fainting and severe dizziness. To manage palpitations, limit stimulants, manage stress, stay hydrated, and exercise moderately. Consult a doctor if palpitations persist or worsen.
