Cardio question?!

Cardio question?
Lately my hearts been going katonk, its real fast and quick and its over It used to happen once in a blue moon but lately it happens more often when i am lying at rest or standing at my work station at rest as well There's no pain involved and its not a flutter
Is it my heart murmur worsening or perhaps an infection as 6 mths ago during dental work I took the amoxicillin 4 hrs before cleaning instead of 1 hour. Or is it just too much caffeine.
Answers:
If your heart murmur has been worsening or you have had changes as you described, you should consult your physician. They may want to do a echocardiogram or a 24-48 hour holter monitor to monitor things. The dental work and Amoxicillin from 6 months ago is not the problem. If you drink a lot of caffeine, you should cut down or stop. Too much caffeine causes increased heart rate which can cause arrthythmias, etc., but you could have a more serious problem going on as I did, but it may also be fine. To be sure, visit your physician as soon as you can, that is the only way you will know for sure.
Best wishes.
