What Causes Rapid Heart Rate With The Feeling Of Sinking?

Hi I'm 32 year old female, lately I have been experiencing very fast heart beats and the feeling that my heart is sinking. This symptom has only occurred during in the past 2 months. I'm unable to walk straight or sit still. Its just like I'm floating around all the time.

Hi,

It can be caused by arrhythmia. I would advise you to have an ECG done. If it doesn't show anything then you will need a holter monitoring, it is an examination, when 24 hour ECG is registered. It will show what is happening during your complaints.

Take care
