Hello everyone,
Has anyone else had a pulse as high as 246 beats per minute? My wife has episodes every now and again and just had one where her heart rate went up to 246. She took a medicine called metroporol and it went down; but that is just scary high!!!
She had a previous one back in April; and went to the Hospital where it stopped naturally. After that she went to the Cardiologist who did an ekg and an ecg; and said she had a very strong healthy heart. He chalked up her high heart rate to anxiety and proscribed her metroporol and xanax.
She called his office today after her episode, and the nurse said to not even worry about coming in unless she wanted to. The medicine took care of the problem; and since she just had bloodwork and two different scans a few months ago the DR really wouldn't do anything else for her.
I'm still very nervous though; I've had heart rates of 160 or so before while at a panic attack or while working out; and I can't imagine tacking another beat and a half a second onto that.
