Fluctuating Pulse Rate, Dizziness. Consumed Lots Of Coffee. Family History Of Heart Problems. Check Up Required?
I woke up from sleep and my heart was beating super fast for a few minutes, now it s beating really slow. I was dizzy and drank some water. I feel better now, but my heart is beating really slow. I m 24 and in good shape, but I do consume a lot of caffinated coffee and heart problems run in my family. Should I go get it checked out?
