Heartbeat: There is daily and even hourly heart beat variation. Emotion, exercise ,stress, illness can all effect heart rate, as can medications and thyroid status. But sometimes even when we think our heart is beating fast ,it s really isn't. Check your pulse at the times you think it is beating fast. May consider EKG f/u w/doc urgent care.
