As a result, stress can cause the nerve endings that control your heart to fire more frequently or irregularly. Anxiety and panic attacks can also trigger palpitations by elevating adrenaline levels. Food and drink can cause heart palpitations. Caffeine, nicotine, and alcohol can all affect your heart rate and may also increase the likelihood of irregular heartbeats. Some medications can cause heart palpitations. These include asthma inhalers, over the counter medications such as pseudoephedrine, and thyroid medications.
