Vitamins that can cause heart palpitations are vitamins B12 and a folate deficiency can cause and lead to anemia and as a result heart palpitations can occur.

The vitamin that is good for heart palpitations are vitamin E and vitamin C which help to reduce stress and inflammation that is associated with heart palpitations and other heart conditions.

Adding nutrients like magnesium, CoQ10, taurine, and L-carnitine may help in some cases of heart palpitations.

In more severe cases of heart palpitations, your doctor may suggest prescription medication like beta-blockers.

Another vitamin deficiency that can lead to heart palpitations is vitamin B12.

Similar to a folate deficiency, a lack of vitamin B12 can lead to anaemia and thereby result in heart palpitations, per the ODS. Vitamin D is another supplement that can cause heart palpitations when taken in large amounts.
