Avoid stimulants: Avoid caffeine, alcohol, nicotine , decongestants , and illicit drugs and go to a doctor as soon as possible. It could be that your thyroid is overactive, or that you, re anemic, or that you have an arrhythmia or something else, so go and get it checked out.

Too fast: Stacey - your heart rate is too fast -- i advise that you seek a cardiologist for evaluation and possibly treatment -- because if you left it alone, after sometimes it could cause cardiac enlargement -.
