I'm having this issue where my heart seems to race and my hands go numb. It gets really intense, like my heartbeat skyrockets, especially at night. Last night it happened again, and it's not the first time it also occurred about 15 days ago. I got an ECG done, and while my heart rate was really fast, my blood pressure was normal. What's going on here? Why is this happening to me?

I'm a bit concerned because my resting heart rate is around 80 while I'm just sitting at my desk doing nothing. Is this something I should be worried about?

A resting heart rate of around 80 beats per minute is generally considered within the normal range for adults. However, if you are experiencing symptoms such as dizziness, shortness of breath, chest pain, or fainting spells along with the elevated heart rate, it may be worth consulting with a healthcare provider. In the meantime, you can try managing stress, getting regular exercise, and maintaining a healthy diet.
