What can make your heart start pounding super fast and hard and i have to stop whatever i'm doing and take deep,slow breathe to slow my heart down?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Test needed: If these episodes occur frequently it is advisable to consult a cardiologist for a heart evaluation including wearing an outpatient heart monitor which will record your heart activity for a specified period of time. When you note the palpitations, record the time and the monitor will reveal your heart rate and rhythm at that exact time and identify possible arrhythmias if any.
