Best Answer

Infrequent heart palpitations may not be serious and can be caused by a number of things such as overuse of stimulants including caffeine. However, if bothersome you should seek medical care and if they are present with any other medical symptoms such as tightness of chest, trouble breathing or you have a diagnosed heart condition you should seek medical attention right away.
