Hi
You can be having altered rythms or arrhythmias due to fast heart rate.
It is better to get a cardiac evaluation done, ECG and echo cardiogram or rule out for any problems with the heart valves.
Kindly check out with your electrolyte, haemoglobin, thyroid levels .
Avoid medications like bronchodilators.
All the best.
Take care.
