last nite my heart rate shot up to 97 my bp went up to 159 over 109 I have had a valve replacement and stents put in my heart. I know I was in a full blowin panic attack after it got started but up till now ive been able to keep them at bay with thearpy. after awhile maybe 30 minutes things returned to near normal except for bp. I take meds for arithmias and high blood pressure. I was just watching tv but had a day full of hard work physical type. why did things hit so fast this time?
Hello . As you are already valve replacement patient so you're prone for arrhythmia... Heart chamber size increases which also increase arrhythmia... are you on anticoagulant??? If you are having atrial fibrillation??? Occasionally increase in heart rate is common ... But if frequent episodes then we can go for holder... more control of heart rate can be done with medication... Need to do echo for any heart leakage and working of valve... Good control of blood pressure is helpful...
