Are you suffering from a fast or high heart rate?
During a heartbeat, the heart beats quickly, the pulsation is irregular, and the heartbeat may be felt in the neck, throat, or chest.
Stress, physical exertion can be the cause of heart palpitations - although in rare clinical cases, an increase in heart rate is associated with various diseases.

Please note that if you have a history of heart disease or rapid heart palpitations, it is recommended that you consult a doctor, the doctor must assess the condition and establish the exact cause of the symptom.
