Heart palpitations can feel like your heart is racing, fluttering, or pounding. They can be caused by stress, anxiety, caffeine, or even dehydration. To help ease these sensations, try practicing relaxation techniques such as deep breathing, staying well-hydrated, and reducing caffeine intake. It's also beneficial to maintain a balanced diet and engage in regular physical activity. However, if you experience persistent or severe symptoms, or if you have accompanying issues like dizziness or chest pain, please consult a healthcare professional. They can provide a thorough evaluation and determine if further investigation is necessary.
