The sensation of the heart beating in a way that is felt to be abnormally fast should prompt a medical consultation. Most often, it is an adaptation of the heart to a problem that can be treated, such as stress, anemia … But it can also be a question of very diverse heart problems ranging from rather benign to rather serious. .

As for tachycardias causing discomfort or loss of consciousness, they are the responsibility of emergencies or SAMU that must be called as quickly as possible.
