Avatar m tn I am an avid runner and I have noticed and extreme increase in my heart rate while coming down and off of pred while running. My heart rate will stay up near it's max high 170 to low 180 for much longer than it should. I am unable to sleep at night after an intense run...prior to prednisone my runs would have no affect on my sleep and my heart rate didn't concern me. I am guessing the increased heart rate may be due to my body not making it's own cortisone..or enough of it yet?
1284766 tn?1272809789 Just wanted to let you know that I got my echo cardiogram today, as well as the results of my 24 hr heart monitor, and everything thankfully looked fine. Both the cardiologist and my pcp think that my high heart rate was caused by extreme stress and anxiety, and that it's not the medicine. My rheumy didn't necessarily agree, but he seems to think it's highly unlikely that the plaquenil is causing the tachycardia.
Avatar n tn I am 47 years old and have had asthma for 20 years Recently I had a viral infection (possibly H1N1) and experienced shortness of breath and rapid heart resting near 110. My doctor had me do a stress and echocardiagram which indicated nothing was wrong and that I was in good shape. We determined that taking Mucinex expectorant was contributing to the tachycardia.
Avatar f tn I have Adrenal Insufficiency...having a real rough time, rapid heart rate, short of breath, sweats, etc. I am on prednisone. I am interested in finding information on what diet would be good for this condition. My cortisol levels are quite low.
Avatar f tn When i went to bed last night i checked my heart rate and it was below 60. When i got up this morning it was the same thing and all throughout the day it was the same as well. I have had a headache all day and it will not go away. It is in my eyes and face hurts. I am cold and tired. I am on the following medications. Robaxin for my back, prednisone for my back, z-pack for a sinus infection and that is it.

Avatar n tn I've had five cycles of chemo and have started to have a rapid heart rate- has anyone experienced this during chemo? I am getting carbo, taxel and etoposide.
Avatar n tn Each time I stayed in sinus rhythm but the heart rate went up to 126 at the highest, and this was while I was on a calcium channel blocker, diltiazem, started by the internist who caught the rapid heart rate. The cardiologist switched me to verapamil and so far I haven't had any more episodes. I have kept track of my heart rate and BP for the last two months to see if there was a trend and because I'm trained as a scientist and we thrive on data!
Avatar n tn Then today I was at the gym and did my normal run and my heart rate was around 132bpm, however a couple of minutes after stepping off the machine I could feel my heart racing - my heart rate monitor showed it rose very quickly to 170bpm. Normally I'm in very good control of my heart rate but this time I couldn't slow it down.
Avatar f tn s, was experiencing rapid heart rate, dizziness and migraines. I take 50 miligrams 2 x day. I have experienced insomnia and depression for many years and now I have acute insomnia can't sleep more than two hours a night. Last night I took two atenolols 100 mg and got the best sleep in a very long time. seeing my doctor on wednesday. Please let me know if there is a better medicine. I've had insomnia, depression and hynagogic dreams and I feel my adrenaline is pumping all the time.
Avatar f tn t see any other symptoms listed, but panic attacks come out of the blue and can leave you foggy headed, out of breath, shaky and tingling extremeties... and coffee can trigger them. Panic attacks can last anywhere from a few seconds to an hour. Also, what RNRita says is common too, if you are sitting in one position too long it can cause in some people blood pressure changes that can cause a lot of the same symptoms. I agree talk to your doctor. Hope all goes well.
Avatar f tn Record your heart rate during one of the sleeping episodes and post it on this site and you should be advise.
Avatar m tn I was diagnosed w/SVT 3 years ago. I would end up in the ER with a heart rate of 215 but would restart my heart with adenocin.I quit smoking also 3 years ago as well. I go to an arrithymia specialist and you might want to go to one as well. I was put on Lopressor to slow my heart rate down and honestly i like how the medication works, no side effects. I've had my heart ablated twice and now has since had a pacemaker and and had my AV node ablated.
1148619 tn?1332010984 I am doing triple, with Victrelis and I noticed in about a half hour of taking my Victrelis pills my heart rate goes up to where it beats rather fast and hard. Last about 15 min. Then goes away and can come back one or two times before next dose. Anyone else have this issue and its not every day. I would have called a local doctor, (my clinic I go to out of town takes about 4 days to return calls), on Friday but I felt fine that day now today I wish I would have.
9768750 tn?1406394610 I'm 17 weeks pregnant and my heart rate has gone up to 165 beats per minute, I went to the emergency room and the doctor said it's normal during pregnancy. Has anyone else had this happen to them and if so how do you deal with it? It's scary!
Avatar n tn I'm 49, had surgery two years ago removing scar tissue caused by a hystorectomy 13 years ago. They also removed both overies. I immediatly started having hot flashes after the surgery, and memopause kicked in without ever having symptons before the surgery. I recently noticed my heart rate is increased which is been happening now for serveral weeks. More so durning a hot flash.
Avatar f tn I am 35 and I have been experiencing a rapid heart rate after I eat. I also get a warm sensation in my stomach and I feel like I have to go to sleep immediately after I eat. My heart begins to race and while I'm sleeping my arm goes numb...it is not "prickly" like it is asleep it is just numb. When I get up and walk around after I wake up the numbness goes away. I just feel terrible after I eat. Otherwise, I feel fine. What could be causing this?????
Avatar f tn I think it is good your heart rate can go down to the 70s without any medication. My heart rate has never gone down to the 70s until recently, and that is only because I'm now on beta blockers. I know from experience your heart will not give out because it is racing over 100 bpm, but go to a doctor ASAP.

Avatar f tn It does change when you stand. It does change when you move about. Constantly checking your heart rate when you have no reason to suspect you have a problem might be a problem, though. Also, those devices like Fit Bit aren't loved by cardiovascular specialists. They can be wrong. They can be used incorrectly. You might just once check your pulse with your fingers the old fashioned way.
Avatar f tn Oh yes, I firmly believe that hormonal changes can cause your heart to go off. When I hit my early 50s, my PVCs and PACs got really bad and I had an episode of SVT that sent me to the ER. They had to give me adenosine to stop it. I have had minor episodes since I was in my 20s but they always stopped on their own and were related to some stressful event. But premenopause and menopause really kicked them off big time.
Avatar n tn I think that you should make a call to your Dr to get the ball rolling on confirming a diagnosis to this rapid heart rate. Please give us an update so that we know how you are making out with this.
