2. Aging is the next, as we get older so does the heart. This can cause issues.
3. Electrolyte imbalance. In your blood there are things called electrolytes, such as potassium, sodium, calcium and magnesium. These things help trigger electrical impulses in your heart.
4. Different medical conditions like high blood pressure, diabetes, and overly active thyroid glands can cause arrhythmia.
5. Emotional stress is a big strain on our heart.
6. Over eating can cause symptoms. Of course, not once, but if buffet is a go to all the time it could cause issues later down the line.
7. Abusing Alcohol, heavily drinking can develop a weak heart. It can trigger palpitation. This is called “holiday heart”.
8. Drug abuse. Some medications including over the counter
