I've been feeling strange sensations in my heart, especially when I get home after work, and at first I thought it was from drinking too much coffee. I've cut down on coffee but the feeling is still there. I do drink 2 coffees and 4 cups of tea every day. I also exercise regularly, like doing push-ups and lifting weights. Should I be worried about these symptoms? Could it be linked to my caffeine intake, or might there be something else going on?

I've been feeling a rapid heartbeat and some pounding since yesterday. I checked it, and it's at 88 bpm. Is this normal? Could it be related to the cough medicine I've been taking? When should this settle down?

A heart rate of 88 beats per minute is within the normal range for adults. However, if you are feeling pounding and rapid heartbeat, it may be a side effect of the cough medicine you are taking. Some cough medicines contain ingredients that can increase heart rate as a side effect. I recommend stopping the cough medicine and consulting with your healthcare provider. If needed, you can switch to a cough medicine that does not have this side effect, such as Delsym (dextromethorphan) at a dose of 10-20 mg every 4-6 hours as needed.

I've been sleeping okay at night, but for the past four days, I've been waking up around 5 am with my heart racing. It's really weird and a bit scary. On top of that, I've been dealing with GERD for the last three weeks and taking Pantocid for it. What's going on with my heart? Should I be worried?
