@aschaeffer1 I have heard - and read - that dehydration can cause palpitations. Most people - especially seniors - are not aware they are dehydrated. I am often told I am dehydrated when I go in for bloodwork, but I am never thirsty so I’m unaware of it.
Have you had any cardiac tests done to rule out heart disease?

My Heart Failure (HF) doctor and my EP (electrophysiologist) all confirmed with me that dehydration is and will cause palpitations, PVCs, PACs, and even get into tachycardia.
I have heart failure so on one side supposed to limit my fluid intake but have cardiomyopathy, PVCs, PACs, and non sustained tachycardia. So they want to make sure I drink enough water.
I was given a recent tasked to write down everything I drank and listed the amount. Then was told I should try to maintain a certain level of fluid intake every day. I found I was right on most days but on other days I did not exercise was below the recommended fluid intake for me.
