for the past 1& 1/2 days i have a throat infection with fever and a hgh resting pulse. i went to the dr and he presribed mixalin 500 i think its KLARITHROMYCIN. anyhow i do have anxiety / heart phobia issues and i hate drugs i took a pill. 1 hour later i was in bed and started feeling slight short of breath, and i could feel my heart beat stronger and faster , i have a bp monitor so i checked it and started going faster and faster and i had sweaty palms,and an urgency to go to the bathroom(sorry) bp went up to 13/7 my usual is 10/5.5!!!i pulse got up to 140. i took half an inderal 40 mg and h rate started to go down gradually. what do y think happened? could it have been a side effect from the pill? now i am fine though.
should i go to a cardiologist?i am 33 fem, have underactive thyroid and had heart echo last year. i hve mild mvp with mild mitral insuffiency.
a heart rate of 140 indicates anxiety or something else ?
