Why would i sometimes get dizzy, shakey and a feel a rapid heart beat all of a sudden?

Rapid heart beat: Palpitations with symptoms of dizziness should be evaluated by cardiologist. It could be atrial fibrillation, supraventricular tachycardia etc.

Many reasons: You may have an arrhythmia, or you may simply be dehydrated.If the rapid heart rate comes first, then the dizziness, arrhythmia is more likely. Please discuss this with your primary doctor, relief from your symptoms is very likely once a diagnosis is made.
