HI,welcome to HCM,
Sudden onset and offset of rapid heart rates can be of paroxysmal atrial or ventricular tachycardia.I suggest you to have a base line ECG with 24 hr Holter monitoring and an 2D screening echo for ruling out ant coexistent organic heart lesions.drugs like Beta blockers can control your heart rates.Radiofrequency ablation can provide permanent cure.Consult your cardiologist for further help,
Thank you.
