Aware of heartbeat?

Ok I'm not sur wig I'm having palpitations or something, just sat and ate my tea and became aware my heart was beating. Feels like it's beating hard

Same here mate, I now ignore it, kinda glad it's beating, I went to docs and told him, and also said I can see my pulse in my neck, he said oh good strong heart lol, relax mate

no worries, this sounds likely to be anxiety

It definitely would be worse if you didn't feel/hear it at all. You only hear it because you put your focus on it. Have you ever run, rode a bike, played a sport? Did your heart beat hard and fast? Did you worry about it? Of course not because you knew it's normal. Your heart may beat faster and harder after eating certain foods. And that's normal too. Figure it out what foods may be causing that. Btw, tea has coffeine so expect your heart to beat faster. And even if tea is herbal and caffeine free, certain ingredients may raise your heart rate as well.

He says he ate his tea, meaning dinner. In northern parts of the UK the term tea refers to eating your dinner. Lunch is called dinner, dinner is called tea.

Us northerners !!

I hope that's what he means, you drink your tea not eat it.

Nonetheless, foods, or rather food additives, may cause your heart rate to go up pretty quickly.
