ELI5 mode

Palpitation is the unsettling sensation of an irregular, rapid, or pounding heartbeat that can make you acutely aware of your chest's rhythm. Often linked to stress, caffeine, or exercise, it might be harmless in everyday scenarios but can signal underlying heart issues in medical contexts, prompting a check-in with a doctor.
