2. Racing Heart
People experience abnormal or irregular heartbeat conditions in different ways. In fact, some people have no symptoms at all. The feeling of a racing or pounding heart is one common symptom. Essentially, it feels like the heart is beating too fast.
This can be a sign of some type of tachycardia, but anxiety, stress, nicotine, alcohol and caffeine are also possible culprits. If there are other irregular heartbeat symptoms, it may be time to see a doctor.3Richard R.
