Your heart may beat faster than usual for many reasons. Often, it’s harmless but we recommend specialist diagnosis as it could be a sign of something more.

The feeling of your heart beating faster than usual can be worrying. It’s not usually anything to worry about, but if you experience your heart beating faster than 100 beats per minute and you’re not doing anything to cause it, I recommend investigating further.

If you come and see me, I will recommend the tests you need to get to a diagnosis. Below, I discuss some of the most common heartbeat disorders where your heart beats faster.
