Which is a higher rate of heart rate than normal, the normal pulse rate in the human adult between 60 to 100 blow every minute. The heart controls the regulation of the speed of its pulse by detecting electrical signals spread through its tissues. The heart beat accelerates when the rate of production of these signals is impaired.

- The presence of a disruption of the heart tissue due to congenital heart disease or disease, which adversely affects the movement of nerve cells, or signals across the heart.
- Elevated blood pressure; an increase in arterial pressure, which increases the flow of blood leading to an increase in heart palpitations.
- Natural heart palpitations during exertion, anxiety, stress, and fear.
- Drink liquids that contain too much caffeine in large quantities, such as coffee, tea, and soft drinks.
- Smoking, because it does not distribute enough oxygen to both the heart and the brain.
- Taking some medications that negatively affect their side effects on regular heartbeat.
- Disorders of blood salts, such as potassium, sodium, calcium, magnesium, chlorine, phosphates, and bicarbonate.
- Do some stressful physical activities, which increase the speed of the heartbeat.
- When the sudden stand or bend to the ground quickly; because the heart does not get enough oxygen, which increases the acceleration of palpitations.
- Inadequate blood flow between the lower and upper chambers of the heart.
- The presence of a previous wound in the heart or a scar in the tissue of the heart muscle.
- Diabetes, especially low sugar. When eating sugars, the body produces the hormone insulin, which activates the nerves, and raises blood pressure, and increases the rate of heart rate.
Symptoms and signs of sudden heart palpitations

- Breathing disorder : Where the patient feels a sudden interruption of breathing without warning, or breathing quickly, although the patient did not make any effort, all these reasons not to pass enough oxygen-carrying blood to the heart.
- Fainting : A temporary reduction of consciousness due to decreased blood flow to the brain. Fainting occurs in many cases of heart disorders such as: acceleration and slow heart rate, fluttering, and others.
- Dizziness or vertigo : Instability in the body, and the feeling that the earth wrap around it, because the heart stops suddenly and stop the body members from performing their functions, such as stopping the movement of blood destined for the brain, which works on the balance of the body.
- pain in chest : Pain occurs in the muscles of the chest as a result of the sudden cessation of heart muscles, and resembles the pain of heart attack.
Treatment of sudden heart palpitations
The remedy is to repair the main factors that led to its emergence, such as:
- Exhaling oxygen through exercise and supplying the body with adequate rest.
- Reduce the burden of volume and pressure.
- Correct the concentration of salts in the blood by eating foods that do not cause high levels of salts in the blood, and compensate them with more useful foods, such as vegetables and fruits.
- Consult your doctor immediately if heart palpitations are accompanied by difficulty in breathing, chest pain, or fainting.
- Avoid smoking at times when sudden palpitations occur, because nicotine increases blood flow, which leads to rapid and sudden heart palpitations.
- Drink plenty of water; to accelerate the removal of harmful toxins from the body, such as caffeine and excess salts.
- Sit down immediately, and breathe calmly when a sudden fluttering occurs.
