Pulse Rate

[Meg]

Being tachycardic - medical term for fast heat beat - does not lead to a heart attack.

Stop the alcohol and you will see a difference.

Hi Wolf

Dont forget everyone is different. I would imagine that when you are taking your pulse you are already stressing yourself especially now!! Dont take so much. I know that you are trying to stop drinking and you will find it will settle when you dont drink. Alcohol always puts it up whenever I had a drink then it was always faster. Does your dr know about the drink?? I bet you never told him. Ask Vernon he is a good person to speak to as he was in a similar position. Try not to worry. When I was pregnant with my little boy he kept getting tachycardic. I used to really worry which used to put my bp up but he is ok. There are normally simple reasons for these things. I even read up a book about it and simple dietary changes can work too.

Take care and let me know how you get on.

Well I had a Thyroid Test done yesterday and also an ECG, which was strange as it was normal and my pulse was 85. I have to wait now untill 2 weeks for my results then i go back to the doctor to discuss it with him.

That is good news then that all is ok now for you.

Hope the results are clear too.

My pulse is still high but i feel fine, its weird. i will keep you posted.

i have been to doctors today my pulse rate was a 109 he is sending me for a ecg and im worried about it and i keep checking it now but it stays the same at 109

[Meg]

Debbie,

An ECG is a sensible first test to have. 109 is not excessive but is a bit over what most are usually in relaxed situations.

Are you stressed or excited or upset about something at the moment which would easily account for this but good to get it checked anyway.

I went for my ECG and it was normal, i recieved a letter from the Doctors about my blood test so i made a quick appointment to see the Dr. Good news is that my Thyroid is also normal but my liver count was high.

My pulse still races and i am not convinced its just anxiety, i am thinking perhaps to give up smoking and drinking.
