You may possibly need medication to control the heart beating rapidly. I have to take a calcium channel blocker (Verapamil) to control mine. Otherwise, I would live in constant fear of my heart starting to beat 220 beats a minute, then having EMTs (emergency medical technicians) come to stop it and restart it before taking me to the emergency room. This has happened twice. Without the medicine I would be worried about this happening again. Both times it happened I was experiencing severe situational anxiety, so it's not solely a physical phenomena. See if your doctor can give you something.
