I've noticed that lately my heart feels like its racing. I felt it happen today while sitting down ( I had been siting down a while) and used my friend's watch to check it. He said his watch is very accurate. I also timed it the old-school way, and it came out with similar results.
My resting heart rate was 108. Web says normal is 60-100, but I could feel my heart racing/a change.
What could cause this?

many things, for me i get that with a reaction to certain foods/meds/supplements.
But I can also get it with with some electrical exposures: cell phones, smartmeters, even new wiring in some houses.
Low blood pressure can also cause this. I'm sure others will pitch in with other possibilities.

Severe dehydration can cause this. Had experience with that.

Tachycardia can be cause by many things...pots, sodium,potassium channels ,adrenal instigated reaction..there is the hpa axis (horiwitz).and lastly the nerves of the heart..do you have any palpitations or feelings of skipped beats ...some abx can cause long qt time ...

- Caffeine?
You might check for any Rx side effects
and check any supplements / powdered foods / even gum or breath mints
See post: Caution: Aspartate; Glutamine; and Phenylalanine (3 excitatory amino acids that can be wrong for us when added as supplements, beyond a normal dietary level)
Seaweed has its own natural MSG and can be very excitatory -
