Sudden high heartbeat
Sometimes after stretching my back mucsles, i feel a little discomfort in my backbone, right behind the chest, followed by a sudden increase of heartbeat. It lasts in 1-2 minute. However, it makes me a bit uncomfortable and happens a lot of time at gym, at normal walking, or sometimes even while lying at bed. Please suggest, what may be the problem.? Should i just ignore it or visit a doctor.
I do a full time sitting job and do light exercise at gym or at home.
Thanking you in advance.

Feeling of increase in the heartbeat, even when you are not doing any exercise, may be a sign of disturbances in the rhythm of beating of heart (the ARRHYTHMIAS). Please go through the section on ARRHYTHMIA on my website www.thefitheart.in. The preliminary tests that you would need is an ECG and an echo. You may need more sophisticated investigations involving long term ECG monitoring to have detailed analysis of your heart rate variation trends throughout the day. But first of all, Please meet a cardiologist and get yourself properly clinically examined, so that proper planning for your further management can be done. Thanks. Hope this helps.
