A member asked:
Could obesity itself cause constant tachycardia(fast heart rate, even resting), heart flutters, and palpitations?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: Other things cause increase in heart rate. obesity alone does not. food that contain caffeine, diet supplements, stress, anxiety all can cause increase in heart rate. hormonal imbalance can also be a cause.
