Roberta post re: tachy
by quillswriting, Jul 22, 2007 01:36PM
The following post I found on google.com when I looked up hypertension and tachycardia, and it was amazing, because what this lady's daughter is going through is exactly what I have been going through. It all started shortly after I had a baby, her daughter is also the same age. I has been noted that adrenalin seems to possibly be the cause of my tachy, but my adrenals have not been checked.

: Can anyone help me to understand this diagnosis which was given to my daughter after many tests and different treatments for tachycardia? I am under the understanding that she does not have a heart problem but her body does not compensate to stress as a normal body does so her heart rate stays elevated. Her problem semed to start after childbirth but over a long period of time became really bad to where she looked emanciated. She has gained weight since being on beta blockers and is also on antidepressants but sometimes she seems to loose her train of thought and we worry that all this medication is putting her in a worse predicament. She is 29yrs old and has not cut out her smoking 100% Is it possible that the cigarets are causing all her problems in the first place? Also I feel like she could possibly be manic depressive because she seems to go from a real high to a desperate low and lashes out at anyone in her path. I realize she feels bad and tired a lot but I would like to kow how to help her. Thank you for any insight.

Diet soft drinks often contain DL-phenylalanine which makes me a bit manic (kind of fun) and a lot more active but for me no elevated heart beat. In controlled dose this can be usefull as an antidepressent but could well cause problems with prescription antidepressents.
I used to get tachy and hyperventulate when my CHF was extreme and I hadn't been stabalized by medications yet. This was caused by an enlarged heart as a result of an insect bite in the tropics when I was 14 years old.
