Thanks for your question on Health Care Magic.
I can understand your concern.
In my opinion, you should immediately consult cardiologist.
Sudden rise in heart beat even at rest is commonly seen in cardiac rhythm disturbances (arrhythmia).
And these can be life threatening if not diagnosed early and treated promptly.
So better to consult cardiologist and get done
1. Ecg
2. 2d echo
3. Holter monitoring (24 hour continuous monitoring of ecg).
You may need anti arrhythmia drugs.
Hope I have solved your query.
Wish you good health. Thanks.
