Q: Fast heart rate

asked by: Full of questions on September 2nd, 2008

A few weeks ago I attempted to give blood, couldn't do to my heart rate being high- 110 and 112. I again attempted a couple days ago, my rate was 120, 118 and 112. I have a inlarged chamber in my heart that I was told should new bother me and I had a small heart attack in the past that they seen while doing a test at a later time. How worried should I be, my blood pressure is great! I don't have insurance should I go to the doc anyway?

Have you ever made echo-cardiography (ultrasound scan of the heart) to evaluate your heart's anatomic structure?

Have you ever registred the fast heart rate on ECG to diagnose the type of tachicardia?

fast heart rate?

A normal heart rate for a healthy adult is between 60 and 100 beats per minute. Heart rates of more than 100 beats per minute (tachycardia) can be caused by exercise or stress, Illnesses that cause fever, Medication side effects, especially asthma medications, Heavy smoking, alcohol, or too much caffeine or other stimulants.
