A member asked:

An EKG may not be done while you're experiencing palpitations. Wearing an outpatient cardiac monitor for 24-48 hours or longer is more apt to capture symptoms & show what the heart rhythm is at the time of symptoms. Many people mistake forceful heart beats for disturbances in heart rhythm. Climax from masturbation, anxiety & nicotine in your system can cause forceful heart beats&raise heart rate

All 3 things cause a rapid heart rate. But if you get it at other times too mention it to your doc- you may need a heat monitoring
