Depends..: You may look into your food and drink......caffeine ,nicotine, decongestant, other stimulants. Otherwise a med like Xanax (alprazolam) will help as prn use..........if very frequent Klonipen, Diazepam, Ativan will help.

Tachycardia: You may benefit from a 24 hour or 3 day cardiac monitor. Intermittent tachycardia can dangerous. Keep a record of when the episodes occur. Check your heart rate during each episode. Take big slow deep breaths during an episode to see if your normal heart rate returns. Take your diary to your doc. Take a friend with you. Be well.
