Tachycardia: Several things can cause your heart rate to be irregular, most of the time it is nonspecific and benign. Discuss with your doctor about getting a holter monitor. It's a small device you wear for 24-48 hours and it continuously records your heart rate and rhythm.

Consult your doctor: If you have asthma, treatment with beta agonist inhaler may increase your heart rate. Dehydration may increase your hr. Are you having any associated symptoms with the palpitation like chest pain, shortness of breath, ? Occur you changes in position like sitting/standing position? Do you drink coffee, soft drinks with caffeine, energy drinks? All above can increase your hr.
