With: Activity. At rest? If comes and goes and you have symptoms. Talk to your doctor. Maybe a monitor can record these episodes. Set it up with your doctor

Get in: An increased heart rate could be due to a number of different thing and some of them serious. Make sure you stay away from caffeine, drink plenty of water and get in to see your physician for an evaluation.

Get it checked: Is your increase in heart rate (or "tachycardia") due to physical exertion, or to an activity that makes you excited or aggravated? Is the rapid heart beat regular and even or is there a lot of skipping? Do you have symptoms with the tachycardia like wanting to pass out, shakiness or shortness of breath? You should see your doctor for a thorough evaluation. Hope that helps.
