What Causes Episodes Of Rapid Heart Rate?
About every 7-10 days I have a very rapid heart rate. It lasts for anywhere from 3-4 minutes then back to normal. Never any pain just feel a little lightheaded then back to normal. Just did it again about an hour or so. Sometimes it feels like my hearts going to be right out of my chest and back to normal.

Hello,
This could be benign or something serious. You really need to see a cardiologist to sort this out. In the mean time, avoid all coffee, tea, tobacco, alcohol and decongestants as they can make this worse.
