A racing, fluttering, or skipping heartbeat deserves an answer the same hour, not a cardiology appointment in three weeks. ER of Mesquite – Emergency Room is the heart palpitations emergency room open 24/7 at 1080 E Cartwright Rd Ste 100, with immediate EKG, cardiac enzyme testing, and board-certified physicians. Walk in anytime, no appointment needed.
Go to the ER for heart palpitations that come with chest pain, shortness of breath, fainting, or dizziness, that last more than a few minutes, or that occur in someone with a known heart condition. Palpitations paired with breathlessness are covered in depth on our breathing problems page, the combination always warrants same-day evaluation. Occasional brief flutters in an otherwise healthy person are usually benign, but the ER for irregular heartbeat exists precisely because you cannot tell a harmless extra beat from a dangerous rhythm without an EKG.
An EKG for an irregular heartbeat records your heart’s electrical activity through skin sensors and shows the exact rhythm within minutes of your arrival. We pair it with cardiac enzyme and electrolyte blood testing and continuous monitoring, so a rhythm that comes and goes has the best chance of being captured and named during your visit.
AFib emergency treatment matters because atrial fibrillation, a chaotic rhythm in the heart’s upper chambers, can drive the heart dangerously fast and raises the risk of stroke. New AFib, a very rapid rate, or AFib with chest pain, weakness, or breathlessness needs prompt evaluation. Our physicians control the rate with IV medication, monitor you continuously, and coordinate cardiology follow-up. Know the stroke warning signs too, face drooping, arm weakness, speech trouble, covered on our stroke care page.
A racing heart that won’t slow down can be caused by rhythm disorders like SVT or AFib, dehydration, fever, thyroid problems, stimulants like caffeine or certain medications, and anxiety. Anxiety is real, but it is diagnosed only after the heart is cleared, never before. Where dehydration or electrolyte imbalance is the driver, IV fluids often settle the rhythm during the visit.
As a freestanding emergency room, your visit follows a clear path: you’re seen by a board-certified ER physician with EKG results in hand within minutes, cardiac complaints are triaged to the front of the line, we stabilize your rhythm with medication and monitoring on-site, and if you need a cardiac procedure, catheterization, or hospital admission, we coordinate that referral or transfer to the appropriate specialist.

Go to the ER for heart palpitations that come with chest pain, shortness of breath, fainting, or dizziness, that last more than a few minutes, or that occur with a known heart condition.
The ER performs an immediate EKG to capture the rhythm, runs cardiac enzyme and electrolyte blood tests, monitors your heart continuously, and treats the rhythm with medication when needed.
AFib is an emergency when the heart rate is very rapid or comes with chest pain, breathlessness, weakness, or fainting. New or uncontrolled AFib needs prompt evaluation because it raises stroke risk.
A racing heart that won’t slow down can be caused by abnormal rhythms like SVT or AFib, dehydration, fever, thyroid problems, stimulants, or anxiety. An EKG during the episode identifies the cause.
Yes, anxiety can cause palpitations, but cardiac causes must be ruled out first. The ER confirms your heart rhythm and enzymes are normal before attributing palpitations to anxiety.
An EKG records the heart’s electrical activity through sensors on the skin, showing the exact rhythm within minutes. It distinguishes harmless extra beats from rhythms like AFib that need treatment.
Palpitations alone are usually not a heart attack, but palpitations with chest pain, pressure, breathlessness, sweating, or arm or jaw discomfort can be, treat that combination as an emergency.
