What to do if heart rate increasing what's wrong?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Look for a cause: Rapid heart rate is not a cardiac condition by itself. It usually is a sign of something else. Common causes include fever, pain, anxiety, infection, anemia, overactive thyroid, use of stimulants (caffeine, decongestants) or certain medications. If you cannot identify a cause, you may want to discuss with your local physician about getting an ekg or a 24-hour holter monitor.
