Fast heartbeat: Many possibilities. Best you call your regular doctor for a check up to diagnosis your problem.

Needs evaluation: You could try bearing down like having a bowel movement and see if that helps. If it does it does not mean you do not need an evaluation . Please see your doc. Doc might do a holter monitor and maybe send you to a special kind of heart doctor who deals with fast heartbeats.
