Fast heart rate: Various causes but since this is new to you i suspect this could be due to anxiety, low blood pressure, over active thyroid, anemia . Visit your doctor to get your blood pressure checked also have blood test done . To read about this issue check this link https://en.ecgpedia.org/wiki/Sinus_Tachycardia
