Sometimes I have a high heart rate from about 85 to 95 and i do have some anxiety but my question is will i have heart problems when i get older from having a high heart rate i'm 21 sometimes when i sleeping i will be woken up with a high heart rate about 125 and i will be sweating is this dangerous also? the only symptom that i have is sometimes i don't feel i get a satisfying breath like i want to always yawn or sigh to get a satisfying deep breath, could this be heart related. Also i have a huge fear of doctors and eveytime i go my heart rate is about140 is this o.k.?

I'm curious to see what the Doc has to say about this one.
I have an arrythmia that causes my heart to go about 260 (extreme tach)
at least once a month or more.
The rest of the time it kicks in at a somewhat lower speed and I can
get by without the adenosine. (A great new drug that slows it down)
I first noticed my arrythmia at about age 11.
Its a little scary but I've had it so long now I get blase about it.
