A member asked:
Are there any signs or ways to tell if a random racing heart is from anxiety or not before going to dr? no other symptoms with racing heart.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Difficult to tell: If you have anxiety first and then increased heart rate, the primary issue is probably anxiety with related tachycardia. If it's the other way around, then you still need to figure out the reason for tachcardia. Hyperthyroidism and suprventricular tachycardia come to mind as possibilities. You may need a holter monitor study to track your heart rate issues. You need a doctor's help with this.
