What Causes Palpitations?
I have been having heart palpitations for a while now. I was diagnosed with hypo thyroid 2 years ago when this started but these symptoms keep happening. I have been to a cardiologist and he told me to cut out caffeine, that helped for a while but it still occurs on a daily basis. I try to watch what I eat and exercise daily. He did an EKG and that came out normal. I thought maybe it was nerves and my doctor put me on Welbutrin and an aniexity medication Clonazepam, when needed. I very rarely take it although it seems to help.

Based on the fact that Clonasepam helped it can be due to anxiety.
I suggest you to continue the medications prescribed by your doctor.
