I've had this problem when I was younger. I cut out things which triggered palpitations and I didn't get them any where near as much as I used to. So yes, especially as you aren't eating, it will definitely make the attacks worse.

Let's look at the facts. You're not eating, and you're drinking coffee. Obviously the caffeine is going to hit you harder because you have no food in your stomach, which will make your heart palpatations occur.

So eat food. Either that or drink de-caff coffee, but that's for pussies.

Yes. The items YGM listed, plus many others, including most "energy" drinks, contain stimulant chemicals (Coffee has Caffeine). Stimulants often cause the heart to beat faster, harder, or more erratically.
If you drink coffee on an empty stomach, there will be nothing in your stomach to absorb, or slow your processing of the caffeine, which will make its effects greater.

Drinking coffee, soda and smoking can all make the palpitations worse.
