What Causes Fast Heart Beat Throughout The Day?

Hello! My heart has been beating really fast during the whole day, I can be walking or simply laying down and my heart just starts beating really fast and at some point it starts to hurt. I don't drink any energy drinks or anything that would cause this.

Thank you for asking!
Fast beating heart and palpitations need a bit work up and a complete clinical correlation. It needs to be evaluated for cardiac origin and once ruled out anxiety and panic attacks come up next. SO getting an EKG done would be a good start followed by visit to a cardiologist to see what is going on. Small doses of propanol are advised.
Take care
