It could be what I have, PAT or paroxysmal atrial fibrullation. It is a fluttering, if you will, of the atria of the heart. It is common in women and it is when, for no apparent reason your heart rate will go up to over 160 bpm and stays there for a bit. Sometimes you feel it, like when you are sitting quiet or driving, sometimes you don't! If it gets really bad they put people on Beta-blockers, not always though. Alcohol, caffeine or any kind of stimulant can trigger this, even anxiety and stress. It is best to consult with a physician or cardiologist and they will probably hook you up to what is called a Holter Monitor. It is an EKG you keep on for 24 hours. It will pick up any arrythmias you might have. It is nothing to screw around with, especially if it is not the atria but the ventricles of the heart that can have this same disorder. When the ventricles have this problem it is a lot of the times, eventually fatal if not caught. Please go to the doc!

About a couple of years ago I would get short of breath when walking and I felt sort of faint and dizzy. I would also get palpitations in my heart. The doctor ran several test and Ekg's and an Echo Cardiogram. Nothing showed up. He sent me to a specialist, that sent me home with a monitor to wear for a couple of days. during that time I did not feel any palpitations , but when I went back to the doctor, the monitor had picked up the irregular heart beats. I am now on Beta Pace , I still fee very fatigued and dizzy. I notice when i do not drink alot during the day , I seem to have more irregular beating that usual. Coffee and tea have never had a negative effect on me. I am sure that any combination of meds could cause problems and should be discussed with the doctor and pharmacist.

I have a problem with it. For me it is genetic (my brother, dad, and daughter all have it). But it gets worse when I eat or drink certain things. Caffeine, energy drinks (even without caffeine), St. John's wort did it, Prozac, diet pills. I'm sure there are many more that would cause it too, I just haven't tried it yet.

I'm with MB, I also have a heart problem and stimulants of all sorts upset my heartbeat (understandably so though).
High sodium diet (blood pressure), panic attacks, stress, medicines, coffee...
