Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

After going through your medical details I understand your concern and I would like to tell you that heart rate is ever changing phenomena depending on your activity level, emotional stress and physiological changes. Smoking it self a cause for high heart rate and smoking has bad effects on your health. It's recommended for you to quit smoking completely for good cardiac health and get an ECG done to check on your heart rhythm.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.

Feeling of heart beats may be normal. Sometimes few ectopic may also make the heart feel irregular and is mostly normal. However I would personally advise you should see our doctor to get a heart tape done so to be sure that there is nothing wrong with the heart rhythm.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
