How To Treat Heart Palpitation?

I just came from restaurant and at the restaurant I was eating my food and I noticed that my heart started beating very rapidly I didn t do any physical activity I wasn t nervous or anything like that my heart just started beating very rapidly to the point where I can feel it if I just placed my hand on it. I went out to dinner at around seven and it s still doing the same thing and it is now 10:30. I feel the heartbeat more so towards my throat, like the bottom of my throat. if I touch mycollarbone I feel the heartbeat there. so I was wondering what could cause this and how I could stop it because it is continuing to beat rapidly and it s uncomfortable please help me Dr.

Welcome at HCM
I have gone through your query and being your doctor I completely understand your health concerns.
Are u having this event before??? Is it associated with other symptoms like chest pain or sweating?? Are u feeling any tightness in chest???
All u need is be calm and take rest. Don't be panic at all. In my opinion you should visit the doctor and get your ECG done to rule out any arrhythmias like AF ...
Meanwhile try carotid massage, that is rub either side of your neck at a time It will slow down your heart rate...
Stay safe and take care
Regards
