heartbeat form 50 to 170

by mjc50, Jun 02, 2007 12:00AM
My daughter (19) has been suffering "dizzy attacks" and chest pains. We put her on a heat monoter for 24 hours. The results showed an at rest heart beat between 50 to 60 and strange attacks of super fast heat rates that lasted from three secounds to 60 seconds. Any ideas..thanks

Sounds like supraventricular tachycardia.  She should see a cardiologist.

if you are talking about a holter, and she was on this while the attacks occured, ask your doctor what the rhythm was, thats the easiest way to find out rather then just speculating..

When you say -super fast -- how fast?

The thread title mentioned 170 bpm. Sorry to hear she felt dizzy from this. Mine pops up to 150 - 190 but I don't feel dizzy, just annoyed by it. Guess I'm a lucky one. The doctor should have been more helpful with the information. Not all heart problems are dangerous but they can be scary. Hope you get answers soon.
