Your symptoms seem like tachycardia. Tachycardia is a condition that makes your heart beat more than 100 times per minute. There are many reasons to why this may occur namely:
- Serious heart disorder
- Lack of oxygen
- Sarcodiosis
- Smoking
- Alcohol consumption
- Over intake of caffeine
- Over active thyroid
- Anemia
- Strenuous exercise
- Fever
- Fear
- Stress
- Anxiety
- Certain medications
- Obesity
You should visit the cardiologist so that you can be examined and undergo investigations such as ECG, ECHO, thyroid profile, CBC, etc. to find the underlying cause of the problem and have it treated accordingly.
These following steps may help:
- Limit the intake of caffeine to just once a day
- Avoid alcohol and smoking if you have the habit and preferably quit
- Be careful with the use of medications
- Destress yourself with practices such as yoga, meditation, tai chi
- Exercise regularly and maintain a healthy weight as per BMI(30-45mins of cardio exercises everyday)
If the condition persists or worsens visit the cardiologist at the earliest

Health Tips
If condition persists or worsens visit the cardiologist at the earliest
Palpitations or increased heart beat are feelings or sensations that your heart is pounding or racing. They can be felt in your chest, throat, or neck.
You may Have an unpleasant awareness of your own heartbeat or may Feel like your heart skipped or stopped beats
The heart's rhythm may be normal or abnormal when you have palpitations.
Normally the heart beats 60 to 100 times per minute. The rate may drop below 60 beats per minute in people who exercise routinely or take medicines that slow the heart.
If your heart rate is fast (over 100 beats per minute), this is called tachycardia. A heart rate slower than 60 is called bradycardia. An occasional extra heartbeat is known as extrasystole.
Palpitations are not serious most of the time. Sensations representing an abnormal heart rhythm (arrhythmia) may be more serious.
You need to get yourself checked what you may be having is intermittent tachycardia / arrhythmia which means that intermittently your heart rate increases or the heart Rhythm changes which can be dangerous if it does not get corrected on its own. Or it can be an early sign of impending heart disease.
but to diagnose it you need to get an ECG done while you are having the rhythm problem or you can get holter monitoring for 24 hours during which if you have this episode it will get registered and documented. Also you need to get a complete lipid profile done as well as a echocardiogram and blood sugar and thyroid levels to look for risk factors. Once you have done that Get back to me with the reports for a detailed consultation.
