I have been getting short episodes of increased heartbeat for the past six months. Is this serious, and how can I manage it?

Short episodes of rapid heartbeat over months are often due to palpitations caused by stress, caffeine, poor sleep, or minor rhythm changes. Try reducing tea, coffee, and energy drinks, and keep a regular sleep routine so your heart rhythm stays stable, and practise simple relaxation like slow breathing to calm the body during episodes. Stay well hydrated and avoid skipping meals, as this can trigger palpitations; include light daily activity, like walking, to support heart health. Try to note when these episodes happen and what you were doing at the time. If you experience chest pain, dizziness, or fainting, seek medical attention. Consult a doctor to check the cause and guide proper care.
