How To Treat Elevated Heart Beat?
I'm on hcg diet and I my heart seems to be beating harder with little quivers here and there. I don't have high blood pressure and it's not beating to fast. I was taking potassium and stopped yesterday didn't seem to help. Is there anything I can do to change this? Don't want to stop diet I'm obese and will continue.

Hello,
Heart beats more than 100 per minute is called Tachycardia and this condition needs treatment if there is persistent tachycardia on rest.
In your case, you did not mention the duration and how much rate of beats.
If you are suffering from long duration or heart beat more than 100 per minute in resting along with any symptoms like palpitation, anxiety, sweating then better you get an ECG done mean while you can start Tab Metoprolol 25 mg once a day.
Thank You
