I'm sure Marilyn will reply to you also and symptoms can vary from person to person - but in general, people may have these symptoms: racing heart, lightheaded, dizzy, falling (from dizziness), fatigue to extreme tiredness, and like "something is wrong" - or a feeling of dread.

It also makes some people cough - seems silly, I know, but coughing evokes the valsalva maneuver which is the body's own way of correcting the problem. Of course, it doesn't work sometimes, but when this fast heart rate first starts, it makes some people cough which then may change the fast rhythm to a slower one.
