Diary of symptoms for a fast heart rate
To monitor your fast heart rate and symptoms, you may find it helpful to keep a diary to record them. This will help you keep track of your condition. You can then discuss your observations with your health professional during your next appointment.
In your diary, include the following:
- How fast or slow was your heart beating? Be aware that if your heart is beating very fast, you may not be able to accurately determine your heart rate.
- Was your heart rhythm regular or irregular?
- What symptoms did you have?
- What time of day did your symptoms occur?
- How long did your symptoms last?
- What were you doing when your symptoms started?
- What may have helped your symptoms go away?
