What Causes Heart Palpitations?
For the last several days, I feel like my heart is racing (it is not; my pulse is close to my normal rate). The closest description is it is how I feel when I ve had way too much caffeine, but that is not the case. I m sleeping fine and don t feel especially stressed.
