Hey mate,

Do ya feel adrenaline in ya stomach?

Measure ya pulse. If its over 110 then see Doctor.

Normal should be between 60-100 beats per min!

[amandaj]

hi just back from docs, yet again, he said 4 weeks ago i was badly depressed and gave me new tablets called sertraline, today couldnt take no more wasnt helping felt even worse, he has ordered me to stop the sertraline straight away as im having bad side effects from it, i have many health problems including heart and its made my heart race even faster so plz if u feel ill after taking new medication after a few weeks or more see ur doc so he can sort this out, too many tablets can counter react with each other these days, so plz get them checked with any problems

Worrying about it will make it go faster. Try to concentrate on something other than your heart. When you are not thinking about it it will be slower, when you feel and count your pulse it quickly speeds up because you are wary that it's going to be too fast. I've had this problem, probably just anxiety. :)

Hello Amanda, yes it could be anxiety but the fact that you have a cold could be contributing. Chest infections can also cause a rapid pulse so make sure your cold hasn't gone into your chest. Hope you feel better soon.
