rapid heartrate
My daughter gets a over 200 heart rate at 2:30 in the morning while sleeping and occasionally during the day. Been on monitor.all tests and no reason what causes his.
It sounds like some variety of tachycardia, perhaps SVT. Whether it's serious or not would require some more monitoring. Did the monitor catch anything? Oft times, a 24hr. Holter is useless because of the nature of SVT. A two lead, 30 day monitor works best for catching this kind of stuff, and is easily worn by the user. I had 54 years of SVT before getting it fixed 4 years ago. I had rates that averaged around 220 bpm., but was clocked as high as 31pm in the hospital as a child.
