Suggest Treatment For Rapid Heart Rate

Hello, my husband has been experiencing rapid heart rate today. He has a history of high blood pressure and high cholesterol and is on daily medication. He said he thought after eating tonight it would help but he said it is still continuing. He just had his regular physical and blood work about 1 month ago and blood work looked good according to his internest. What would you recommend him doing?

I have gone through your question and appreciate Your concern.
Rapid heart rate may be due to arrhythmia.
Atrial fibrillation or Supraventricular tachycardia can cause rapid heart rate.
It is Better to get Ecg done to know heart rhythm.
If required holter monitoring can also be done.
Thanks.
