Go see your doctor: Normal heart rate is 60-100 beats per minute (bpm). Persistently fast heart rate needs to be evaluated while palpitations are relatively commonplace & don't have as much significance unless associated w/lightheadedness, dizziness, faintness, shortness of breath, etc. Fast pulse can be due to anemia, dehydration, overactive thyroid, medications, etc, as well as abnormal heart rhythm. Get evaluation.

Heart issues: Having tachycardia (a fast heart rate) and palpitations should be evaluated. Check with your doctor to see why you are having these symptoms and that way the proper treatment can be started, as you should not have to live with this. Best wishes.

Palpitation: Palpitation is the sign of abnormal heart functioning known as atrial fibrillation. You need ekg , 24 hour holter monitor , 2d echo of heart and cardiologist. Good luck.
