“Heart palpitations ”
I've been getting palpitations for the last three days. Heart is pounding through my chest. I haven't been sleeping well because I switched to overnight and it's been a hard adjustment. Can a change in sleep/ lack of sleep cause palpitations?

The most common cause of these types of palpitations and someone your age are premature beats caused either by early beats from the atrium or the ventricle. In general this is pretty benign but it's clearly related to lack of sleep, caffeine and stress. If you can reduce those it should help your symptoms.
