Rapid Heart Beat
Posted: 08-20-07 23:32pm

Every now and again, usually when I am feeling stressed my heart rate all of a sudden jumps and starts beating like I am running a marathon. The only way I can get it to slow down is to lie down and wait for a few minutes and then it drops back down again. What's weird is that the increase and decrease is sudden - its not gradual. Could caffine be the issue? Any ideas?

thanks

Caffine can and adrenaline can be number one. Do you feel anxious when this happens? I you have no anxiety got to doctor and ask for adrenaline levels to be checked, its a 24 hour pee test!

Hope this helps. Let me know how you get on.
