What Is The Cause Of Rapid Heart Rate?
Afternoon Doctor(s),
My Fiancee had been commenting recently on how hard and fast her heart beats for no apparent reason. It can happen for no reason, like sitting watching tv or normal everyday tasks, she is currently lying down on the sofa while i watch the tv after another occurance of the problem.
She has been quite stressed at work recently and has been working alot, her fitness is ok in my opinion as she walks to work most days and works in a shop so she is on the go most of the day, we also go walking maybe twice a week. She used to get panic attacks, but that was years ago and hasn't had one for years. I think it may be down to stress at work as she is really tired just now aswell, she drinks maybe 3 - 5 cups of tea a day aswell so i suggested she cut down.
Do you have any other suggestions as to what could be causing this?
Thanks in advance for any help.

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Suggestive of anxiety disorder.
Based on the history, your fiancee seems to be suffering from symptoms suggestive of anxiety disorder apparently caused by undue job stress and provoked by consuming 3 to 5 cups of tea a day.
She needs to cut down the amount of tea consumed and psychotherapy after consulting a doctor. Her doctor might also prescribe certain medicines such as Fluoxetine for her panic attacks.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Mohammed Taher Ali
