Hi All,
Hope you're all well, I used this site once before for support during some heart trouble and found you all very helpful and wanted to see if anyone can help me again with my current symptoms...
Symptoms - High/Moderate fever 38.5C - 38.9C / 101.3F - 102.02f fast heart rate between 120 - 170 Bpm at the worst point. Aches and pains like a really bad flu and some lower abdomen discomfort.
Situation - I woke up this morning at 3am feeling awful with a fever and very high pulse rate even when sitting, called NHS Direct who advised me to visit my local A&E but not call an ambulance. White coat syndrome got the better of me and my pulse was 144 Bpm and BP 135/75 they did and ECG, put me on a drip and took blood/urine. After a few hours the fever had gone back down to 37.5C / 99.5F and my pulse rate dropped to around 95-105Bpm. They said I had elevated white blood cells (115 rather than usual 110 I think) and a Urinary Tract Infection and sent me home with Antibiotics (Trimethoprim 200Mg 2 times a day for 7 days).
I got home and went back to bed after calling work and woke up at Noon with another fever and elevated pulse rate when laying down of around 130 Bpm which has taken an hour to drop to 110 Bpm. I called NHS Direct again and they said I have to visit my GP within 6 hours which they will see me at 18:30 today.
History - The last few weeks I have had a tooth infection which I had 5 days of Amoxicillin 500Mg 3 times a day, followed by 400Mg Metronidazole 3 times a day for 5 days and another Amoxicillin course which ended last Friday (13th Mar) the tooth had a root canal at a private endodontist last Wednesday (11th Mar) and seemed to be successful just a little tender but seems like the infection has gone...
Help - So really need help with people who have had UTI's before and whether they also had racing heart rates and a fever? I'm really worried that it is some sort of sepsis after the root canal as I feel just awful... I'm not getting out of breath and can move around okay but it does elevate my pulse.
Please help me!!! :)
