Palpitations: Heart rate in the 170's is abnormal. You should see a doctor for complete labs and physical exam and ekg. Also may need a holter monitor to evaluate the rhythm further. Would not recommend running until further evaluation done. Minimize caffeine and supplements if you are taking any until work up done.
