Hi Lesley49, I get this racing heart a lot. my resting heart rate is around 90 - 100 beats per minute. and when I'm anxious it gets much higher. I have had many tests including wearing a holter monitor for 24 hours, It showed that my heart is fast and missed beats even when I' m asleep but doctor is not concerned, guess I will just have to learn to live with it, but menopause and anxiety have a lot to do with it. hope this helps you
