Tachycardia

Hello.  I am 33 Years old male.  I have MVP/MR of mild to moderate grade.  I am taking Aspirin 75mg for the last two years.  I measure my BP and PR almost daily.  My BP is normal but my pulse rate are always more than 100.  Further, for the last 6 months I have completely lost my sexual desire.  I don't know whether tachycardia is because of MVP/MR or there is some other problem related to sexual disorder.  Should I check my cortisol level to measure stress level?  As such, I don't have any mental depression.  But I doubt the stress level which may cause higher pulse rate and loss of libido.  I have undergone other tests like CBC, Thyroid, Ferritin, Calcium, Prolactin and B12.  But all these are normal.  I am confused how to go further.  I have consulted physicians but they have not been able to find out the exact cause.

Hi Dolphin.  Thanks for your comments.  As you have said arrhythmia may not cause loss of sexual desire.  But is it possible that abnormal cortisol which is stress hormone released from adrenal glands may cause rapid heart beats and loss of libido both?  As such, I am not taking any medication for arrhythmia.

I have not heard of any arrythmia causing loss of sexual desire. Possibly the medications that some take for arrythmias but not the arrythmia itself. Maybe others have expeirenced this and can comment, good luck!
