What Causes Sudden Raise In Heartbeat, Pulse Even While Laying On The Couch?

While laying on the couch, more than a couple times this month, my heart started beating rapidly. Took my blood pressure. It was 133/83 but pulse was 127. After a few minutes it went down to 83 then to 67.
What causes this. I burp a lot after this episode.

Dear sir

There are many causes for sudden raise in the heart rate as hear rate is mainly controlled by two systems like
1. Sympethetic system which is controlled by adrenaline or nor adrenaline
2. Inhibitory influence of vagus nerve which is parasympathetic nerves

When ever there is sudden narmone outburst which is caused by sympethetic outburst occurst, heart rate risis.

There are many parameters you need to check like
1. Thyroid profile
2. Resting and base line cardiac profile

Treadmillmtesting is recommended to measure exercise tolerance
