Rapid heartbeat: At a pulse of 180, it is lucky you did not pass out. Go to an er and have yourself evaluated asap. You may have a supraventricular tachycardia (svt), hyperthyroidism, atrial fibrillation or atrial flutter. Go to an er and get an answer to your problem and a treatment plan to control or prevent it. Good luck.

I jumble up my words when speaking. I either squash them together or pronounce them backwards. I don't know whether it's stress or something worse.

My left cheek is twitching when I smile. I am not nervous, stressed nor have anxiety, whether it is now or generally speaking. It is repeating, but hasn't gotten worse with time. None of my family members seem to have the same issue?
