Heart Rate Spikes and Performance

The first and right response is to talk to your doctor (& full disclosure I am not one) as this could be a serious issue. That you are feeling things during these episodes is notable. I recommend you buy a Kardia 6 lead portable EKG. It will record a 30 second period and give a high level assessment, though a cardiologist read of the file is optimally needed. Use it to check your rhythm at multiple times. Save the EKG records and share them with your doctor - he/she will appreciate it. Here is a 6-lead unit: Kardia . If you have a heart rhythm issue, there are treatments for many of them. Search this forum for atrial fibrillation issues to learn from some others here. I know this can be pretty stressful and I wish you the best of luck.
