I have had heart palpitations (skipping heartbeat) for a number of years. It is a disturbing feeling, but my doctors tell me it is a benign condition. It’s hard to tell oneself that when you’re trying to get to sleep. I take a beta blocker for it which usually keeps it under control, but I did find the article interesting in that it shows that some foods or drinks can exacerbate it. I know caffeine has an effect on me and I have had to cut way back on its consumption.

I had heart palpitations all my life until I realized it was my esophagus twitching.

Now, you find all kinds of helpful information here!

I noticed one of the potential causes from the report,

“Tyramine

Foods and drinks with high levels of the amino acid tyramine can cause your blood pressure to increase and lead to heart palpitations. They include:

aged cheeses cured meats alcoholic beverages dried or overripe fruit”

Over the years I have developed severe food allergies. It took quite a bit of research, but I ultimately narrowed it down to the tyramine connection. Basically, it includes any food that has any form of fermentation. I first noticed it in reactions to a food supplement called MSG. The foods include all of those mentioned in the article and a few others that are related — including processed foods.

The symptoms are many — including heart palpitations. The only treatment option I have found to work is “avoidance.”

There is one positive, though. It sure helps with weight control :-).

All the good stuff.

My mother has complained about heart palpitations / auricular fibrillations for about three decades, now.

She'll be turning 98 in March.

All I know is I’m asleep after a turkey dinner. Tryptophan, I think.
