Heart rate: Multiple reasons exist. If ur HR is truly spiking that high, first step would be general exam and EKG as well as Holter monitoring to determine if u have arrhythmia of sorts that is causing high rates. Some basic biochemical testing would be prudent as well. Further , more specialized tests and specialty consultation would be determined on the above. Good luck
