You need an EKG: There are various causes of rapid heart rate. The first step it to determine the type of rhythm your heart is in that is causing it to beat so fast. A 24 hour recording of your heart rhythm would be a good starting place. Treatment is based on an accurate diagnosis..

I am on 20 mg nortriptyline daily for migraine headaches. It has raised by resting heart rate from 52 bpm to 72 bpm. Unsurprisingly I am a distance runner, and it seems as if it is significantly slowing my pace. Does that make sense?
Healthy, fit 37 YO male runner. Recently began amitriptyline for a chronic pain condition. It's been very helpful for controlling pain but raised my resting heart rate from 55-65 bpm to 75-85bpm. Is this damaging my heart/increasing cardiac risk?

When sitting still, Apple Watch heart rate jumping from 90bpm to 39 to 80 to 45 etc within seconds. Only stays at low bpm for 5 seconds or so. Usually stays around 70-80bpm but then will start to have quick dips before stabilizing again. Concerning?
