A member asked:

Cause of gradual onset high heart rate? specifically during exercise with pounding palpatation.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Cardiac evaluation: preferably a basic exam, baseline EKG, exercise stress echo test and other imaging based on findings, I suggest a cardiology consultation ASAP or ER if symptoms are worrisome.
