Hi.
Some of you may of read my other posts and know whats been going on with me. But to shorten it up incase you dont know- Went to ER with HR over 160. Had to get adensoine push twice to slow it down. (scary stuff). ER let me go after 6 hours and told me it wasn't anxiety, but palpations and tacychardia.
Ok, so I wore a heart holter for 3 days-normal, just two episodes of brief 130 HR..but that was due to exercise. Blood work-normal. Cardio stress test-normal Ultrasound-normal.
OK...Dr. told me I was ok. I just had a rapid heart rate, tacychardia. Ive had this since I was a teenager. I am now a very young, active 40 yr old, no kids. BUT, I have never had an episode where my HR went this high and I had to go to the ER..this was the first time. Dr. said to go on with my life as usual. Just no caffiene, eat healthy bla bla bla. Well, so I did. And the next day-yesterday, I was at the book store and dang..out of nowhwere my heart started racing. I checked my HR with my HR watch..it was 113, then 130...20 min later it was a full blown 160-166!! I took a xanax and left for the ER again. By the time I got to the ER my HR was back to 100. Then eventually flucuated 80;s-100's which is my norm.
My question for you is...do you think that was a tachychardia attack? or was this an anxiety attack? The xanax made my HR go down to normal. If it was my heart would xanax really take my HR back down to norm? I am wondering if the drs are treating me for heart probs when it could be bad anxiety issues????
Anyone have anything similair happen or going on? Please let me know.
I go see a NEW doctor next week, and Im so happy because my current dr. has been so mean to me during all fo this. Thanks again! xxoo
