What Causes Sudden Increase In Heart Rate?
I was sitting down watching T.v. and all of a sudden my heart just starting pounding very fast and my vision started to get blurry. I couldn't even walk right. Then after two minutes I was ok. What could this be? P.S. Im 30 years old, 6 feet, weighing 238

Hi,
I passed carefully through your question and would explain that your symptoms could be related to a TIA (transient ischemic attack) or a seizure.
For this reason, I recommend consulting with a neurologist for a physical exam, a brain MRI and a cardiac ultrasound. It is also necessary performing an ambulatory 24-48 hours ECG monitoring in order to investigate for cardiac arrhythmia.
Hope I have answered your query.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
