hi
i have read your question actually in medical terminology it is called as palpitations now there three important things when u dealt with palpitation first whether your palpitation was regular or irregular?
second what thing precipitate your palpitation? eg coffee or energy drinks
third are there any symptoms related to palpitation ? chest pain,dizziness
REASONS FOR PALPITATION
1) hyperthyroidism
2) atrial flutter
3) atrial fibrllation
4) sinus tachy cardia
5) some drugs or substance abuse
6) anxiety
now if your weight decreasing despite adequate diet , u have excessive sweating or tremors
than go for TFT
get an ecg done preferably during palitation
avoid precipitant factors for example coffee
if prelimanary investigation fail to diagnose
than you may need holter monitoring
hope answer your question
for further query you are most welcome
thanks
