What causes unusual racing & pounding of the heart?
Patient: i have a question 3 days ago my heart started to racs and started pounding really hard and i wasnt moving around alot or doin any activities i usually wouldnt do? and still today it pounds or races at random times what should i do or what could it mean ? Doctor: Hi,  You should see a doctor and do some examinations: routine blood tests, TSH, FT3, an ECG, a cardiac sonography, and a 24 h ECG Holter monitoring. These are to see where is the problem and if it needs medications.  Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.       Regards, Dr. Anila Skenderi, General & Family Physician
