10 Causes of Heart Palpitations

Cause #4: Dietary Changes
Humans tend to have a varied diet, and, despite the occasional upset stomach, this is not a problem for us. A varied diet is actually recommended as it provides us with a greater variety of nutrition, helping us to keep fit and healthy. Sometimes, though, changes in our diet can have undesired effects, including heart palpitations.
A change in diet might expose somebody to an allergen which could cause the heart to begin racing. Dietary changes can also affect blood sugar levels or affect the body in other ways that will increase the heartbeat. If a change in diet does cause palpitations, it is recommended to keep a diary of what you are eating to try and identify the food that triggers the condition.
