A member asked:

What do you suggest if my heart randomly starts racing for no reason?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

More than once seeDr: If there are no other symptoms and it only happens once, nothing more to do. However, if this is a recurring problem and especially if you have sweating, dizziness, chest discomfort or shortness of breath, you should see you doctor soon. If you have an episode where the heart racing does not stop, you should go to the emergency department.
