Rapid heart rates or palpitations are caused by a lot of factors which includes, but not limited to heart or thyroid problems, dehydration, electrolyte imbalances, caffeine-containing beverages and alcohol.
I would suggest a consult to check for any heart, or probable thyroid problem causing the palpitations and proper treatment depending on the findings. But on top of this, I recommend to keep your self hydrated and to avoid taking caffeine-containing beverages and alcoholic beverages.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Daryl Derick B. Dizon, General & Family Physician
