What Causes Rapid Heart Rate?
Every evening around the same time, (occasionally I will notice during the day also). I experience a rapid heart beat that feels like it is coming out of my throat. I recently started noticing it about 4 months ago. It is very scary. What could be causing it? Thank you.

Welcome to Ask a doctor service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Stress could be the cause but it may not be taken granted.
Condition need to be ruled out for cardiac disease and it is most advisable to get done the EKG and ECHO.
If this turns negative then it is nothing to worry but try to come out of the stress.
Hope I have answered your query.
