What Causes Fast Heart Beat Occasionally?

When I walk up our one flight of stairs in our house My heartbeat at times will greatly increase this last 4 - 6 months (never use to do this) Im 47 with no history of heart trouble in my immediate family. My sleep has not been the best the last 18 - months to 2 years. At what point do I go in and get checked by my doctor?
