3187059 tn?1344885576 'm 18 years old and I have a rapid heart beat sometimes I feel shortness of breath, left pain. I don't smoke, drink or use caffeine. I went to the doctor 6 months ago and I did EKG. my heat beat were 122, 136 etc and the highest was 144. he gave me atenelol and he said to use it at the morning and at night. I only use it at night 25 mg. and then I stopped ...now I use it only when I don't feel well. Is any problem with that?
Avatar n tn So moving on I got out of it by firstly learning to relax with yoga and meditation which learned me to recognise that when I was anxious my breathing changed - shallow and rapid - and that this change alone would and did cause a very rapid pulse. I then took a hpnotherapy relaxation course and with tapes of my sessions was able every night to become exceptionally realaxed and with positive post hypnotic suggestions I became much more confidemt and relaxed.

Avatar n tn I'm a little scared I've been experiencing rapid heart beats for the past two weeks and it's been happening everyday as a matter of fact it's happeing right now... and I'm currently at work,, I don't know what to do I'm 39 years old, african american woman and I am a little over weight. Does anyone know what I should do I know the obvious is go to the doctors but has anyone had a similar experience.
Avatar n tn I purchased a heart rate monitor to keep track of my target heart rate and have quickly noticed my heart rate is quite fast. My resting heart rate is 84 bpm. This was taken this morning when I woke up and was still lying in bed. A few days ago when I was working out I checked my heart rate and it was pretty steady at about 155 bpm. At one point when I increased the speed and incline of the treadmill, it peaked at about 180 bpm.

Avatar n tn I could literally just be sitting down with no worry in the world and anxiety and rapid heart rate comes on. Anyone know about this or been through it ?? Do you think it's affecting my son ?
Avatar f tn It is unlikely that running the marathon would have caused any significant structural changes in your heart that would lead to rapid heart rates. It may be helpful to have your doctor put you on a heart monitor so that the actual rates can be measured - it will give you both a better idea of what may be going on!
Avatar f tn If you are sweating, rapid heart beat etc.... you need to be more aware of adding salt. AI is basically when the body cannot hold sodium and the loss of sodium is when the body has a crisis. Usually, when sodium goes down, sodium drops and potassium rises. There are a few of us where both sodium and potassium drop.
Avatar f tn I have been prescribed prednisone 20mg 3x a day for 4 days then 2 for 5 days then 1 for 5 then 1/2 for 6 days. I am currently at the 2nd dose of 2x a day. The last few days, when I lay down, my heart feels like it's beating fast, hard and irregular. I feel short of breath and tired. My chest feels heavy. If I sit for awhile, it goes away. Is this related to the steroid? It's impossible to contact the doctor (holidays). Should I just stop taking it?

Avatar f tn Im am 9 weeks pregnant and latley i have had a rapid heart beat that is followed by pain near my heart and chest.I also have severe dizziness like i am about to pass out and i have twice. I have been to the hospital and they said they had no other expaination but i was dehydrated, can this really cause the pain, rapid heart beat, and dizziness? It just doesnt sound like it could be. they said my baby is fine and i need to drink alot of fluids.
Avatar n tn This lasted for about 10 seconds and then i regained my eyesight and my heart kept pounding hard for about 2 minutes. I am a psychology major so i am familiar with panic attack symptoms. but when i looked up my symptoms online, "heart rhythm disorders" popped up and were said to be deadly. Im confused and a little scared to what could be wrong. can someone provide me with some insight? thanks.

Avatar n tn I HAVE RAPID HEART BEAT AT NIGHT, this wakes me up and my heart is beating so fast I can't count the beats, my blood pressure is like 190 over 90 and I'm lightheaded and very shaky, after maybe 10 minutes I start to get better. I don't know what causes this does anyone out their know. dobroplayer This discussion is related to <a href='/posts/show/239469'>Develop rapid heart rate while sleeping</a>.
Avatar f tn 2 days ago my BP was taken at 120 over 90) This rapid heart rate seemed to increase often but not always after eating and almost definitely after a meal I had with red wine and pasta. This has been going on now for about a month and a half. My resting heart rate seems to be higher now at the very least high 70's-mid 90's. Need I mention that all of this is causing some severe anxiety. My naturalpathic doctor found that my neurotransmitters are way off.
Avatar f tn But that was 2 months ago since then it hasnt let up my heart is still beating rapidly and im starting to have some tinges in my chest and pain in my arm. My heart beat has been consistently fast and doesnt really slow unless im asleep. Any time i exert myself it gets worse until i can actually see my chest moving.
Avatar f tn , as in he would just be sitting there, doing nothing, than his heart would just start RACING. He said in the amount of 3 seconds, his heart beat 10 times..He has these attacks where like i said his heart just goes wacko, and he is very scared for is life, as I am also. He has been smoking marijuana for a while, but has recently stopped, and has done cocaine a couple of times like a month ago, but like the marijuana, has stopped completely.
Avatar m tn Anyway, he said there was nothing for me to worry about and it is fine if my heart beat skips around a little. The thing is though, is that it is a very uncomfortable, disconcerting sensation when it begins to do this and I often fear i will just be cooling off and suddenly fall over unconscious in cardiac arrest. Please help. There is no chest pain, just a fluttering, flopping, irregular heartbeat and slight shortness of breath. Thanks.
