    I feel the need to respond to both the original question and to one of the answers.

    Firstly some cold and flu remedies also contain caffeine which is known to occasionally cause arrhythmias, e.g. palpitations.

    To the guy whose wife has had 200 episodes of atrial fibrillation, even with a pacemaker, I would suggest that this maybe needs checking out, as A-F is precisely what the pacemaker is intended to prevent!
