Lifestyle and home remedies

The most appropriate way to treat palpitations at home is to avoid the triggers that cause your symptoms.

• Reduce stress. Try relaxation techniques, such as meditation, yoga or deep breathing.
• Avoid stimulants. Caffeine, nicotine, some cold medicines and energy drinks can make your heart beat quickly or irregularly.
• Avoid illegal drugs. Certain drugs, such as cocaine and amphetamines, can bring on heart palpitations.
