I recently have had a increase in my heart rate 90-100. So I went and saw a Cardio MD. My BP in always kinda low 112/64, but heart rate high. My Cardio MD did an echo and checked other areas to. She found that my liver was a little large she said it was 7cm. I have never smoked or do I drink. I did have a total thyrectomy 11 yrs ago with a stage 1 cancer had radiation. I am a retired RN now. I do take Vicodine PRN for compression fx to my back. My MD did order blood lab liver enzine and a ct of my liver, my apt is next week. What is going on??? I am also a vegetarian, drink no caffeen.
Hi thanks for asking question. When heart rate is above 100 then it is called tachycardia, and it is of concern. Your Heart rate is less than 100, so not much worried about it. Here elevation of heart rate might be secondary to inflammatory or infectious condition. So your doctor want to rule out liver infection like hepatitis by liver enzyme study. If persistent elevated heart rate more than 100 than electrocardiogram done to rule out cardiac cause. I hope you understand my concern. Wish u good health
