Hello Doc s...I have normal blood pressure here at home, 125/90 (i guess) but my pulse is 138. I feel like my heart is going to jump out of my chest. I took one of my Tamazapam for sleep because I thought that would relax me. Should I be concerned? Lisa
Hello, I understand your concern and would explain that your heart rate is really high.  This heart rate could be related to anxiety or possible cardiac arrhythmia.  I recommend closing your eyes and take some deep breaths.  If this heart rate persists, and especially if you are feeling other symptoms like shortness of breath, lightheadedness, etc. I recommend going to the ER for a physical exam, a resting ECG and some blood lab tests (complete blood count, blood electrolytes).  Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
