Cardiologist,  's  Response
Hi,
It is Dr Sameer, cardiologist from Fortis Hospital.
Increased heart rate can be because of a lot of reasons. It can be simple increase of heart rate because of any stressor or after exercise.
If it occurs in resting state, it can be also because of abnormal condition system of heart called as supraventricular arrhythmia.
So you need certain tests to rule out same.
1) ECG at the time of palpitation. If duration of palpitation is small than we put a 24 hr ECG monitoring called as holter monitoring.
2) Thyroid function test
3) 2D Echo
After these test get yourself evaluated from your doctor.
Wishing you good health
Thanks
