Caffeine Rush

According to Wikipedia, Palpitation is the abnormal awareness (because it interrupts other thoughts compared to normal awareness wherein it is caused by a concentration on the beating of one’s heart) of the beating of the heart; whether it is too fast, too slow or irregular.

Palpitation may be brought from overexertion, adrenaline, caffeine, cocaine, amphetamines and other drugs. Attacks can last for a few seconds to a few hours, and includes symptoms such as sweating, shaking, faintness, chest pain and dizziness. It can also be associated with anxiety and panic attacks in which case, psychological assessment is needed.

This is what I’m going through right now. I am palpitating and although I try to brush it aside, I can’t ignore the fact that I can feel my heart beating irregularly (too fast) in my chest. I have had too much caffeine and chocolate today. Though I try my best to minimize the intake of coffee and chocolate in my daily diet, I can’t help it but indulge myself with these temptations since I rely on them to survive the hectic and mind-boggling exercise called COLLEGE.
