HR spike while traiing

[Zatek]

While doing some intervals it fekt llike my heart was ebating outside my chest with a weird tingle sensation throuhout my upper body. HR jump from 142 to 159 within 2/3 seconds, This was my 10th interval. 1 min at 325W FTP at 270 W

Does anybody have experience with this or advice?

best advice I can give is to see a cardiologist. we on the bike hub can give advice on anything from chain wear to politics, but health... consult a proper specialist.

What LCN said..,

But - It looks like the HR spike follows your exertion, perhaps after you have stopped pedaling - like climbing some huge hill and then stopping and collapsing over the handlebars at the top. Riding like that is a bad idea because your legs are doing lots of work to move blood around your body while you are exerting yourself, but when you stop suddenly then your heart has to take on the strain of the extra pumping work, your breathing races and you feel light-headed. Rather ease off gracefully over the top of the hill or as you finish the interval.

I'm looking for an Eskom loadshedding analogy here when some saboteur takes Duvha your legs offline and suddenly your brain gets load-shed of any more oxygen.
