What Causes Rapid Heart Rate?

Hello, I been challenged with increased heart rate for the past two weeks and don t exactly know what the symptoms are. Of course the common: I am under work stress, changing jobs, and moving, plus being a mother to two young children. But my heart rate increases in the evening, almost to an anxiety attack level.

Dear
Welcome to HCM
We understand your concerns

I went through your details. I think you are being reasonable. That is a good sign. Your heart rate fluctuates mainly due to stress and related anxiety. You will be able to feel the heart over your chest skin. That is natural on a stressed body. I will not say there is nothing to worry. You need to worry about stress. Either you adjust with the stress creating situations and take it easy or avoid the stimulies. Please understand, prolonged stress could create many health problems. Please consult a physician and follow his advise. Exercise, proper dieting and happy life contributes to healthy life.

If you still need my assistance in this regard, please use this link. http://goo.gl/aYW2pR. Please remember to describe the whole problem with full detail.

Hope this answers your query. Available for further clarifications.
