Hello,

Racing heart about 110 bpm is considered Tachycardia (high heart rate). As you have experienced from last week till now, then, you should consult a cardiologist as soon as possible.

The immediate cardiac check-up is highly recommended:
• ECG
• Echocardiogram
• Holter monitoring

Until you see a cardiologist, I highly recommend to take Chamomile and Valerian supplement to help settle your anxiety down.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Nirav Nimavat
