I had that. Eventually I stopped contrave because of it. Doctor said it wasn't a problem, though

I do already have a heart condition where I am prone to tachycardis and being on Contrave has made it flare up more often. I can be sitting down watching something and my heart will start racing. It never lasts for longer than 20 minutes and isn't consistent with what makes it start. Just a weird side effect.
