Dear patient,

Thanks for the query. Fast, sustained, spontaneous heart beating is suggestive of an arrhythmia and given the symptoms of arm pain associated, things should get looked into. The first diagnostic test of course would be an electrocardiogram, but you may need a home monitor to determine if there is an arrhythmia of the heart causing the symptoms.


Hope this helps, wish you the best,
