Hello, I’m sorry if this post is going to be long.
I am 26 years old and have had a fast heart rate my whole life. from the ages of 18-25 i was very sedentary. I was over weight and out of shape, suffered anxiety and depression.
my resting heart rate used to be 101 and through out the day it would be between 120-130. obviously higher if i was exercising.
January this year i took myself to the hospital because i was laying in bed and my heart rate was 170. when i arrived they sent me to resuscitation any did lots of tests but couldn’t find anything.
they prescribed me a beta blocker and after spending a night in they sent me on my way.
since I’ve been on the tablets my heart rate has reduced significantly but i spoke to my Dr about coming off them as they were making my hair fall out.
3 days ago was my final Bisopronol and since then my heart rate has been through the roof (higher than before i started the beta blockers) i cant stop crying and im scared to do anything. my partner wanted me to go for a short walk with him to try and help me but my heart rate hit 168 and i didnt feel too anxious at the time either. lying here typing this my heart rate is 117. im so scared, i called a pharmacy and theu basically said my heart rate can cause heart failure. is this withdrawal from the drug? will it pass? I dont want to die yet, im 26.
even just walking to the bathroom my heart rate goes from 110-140.
i have had a 24 hour tape which showed sinus tachycardia and a scan of my heart which structurally was fine.
please help
