Sudden Increase of Heart Rate & Quivering In Chest
Posted: 02-13-06 20:05pm

Anyone had there heart rate just for no reason go above 100?... This has been starting to happen to me almost on a daily basis now. Usually i'm setting with this happens. Took almost hours to get it down below 100 yesterday. Blood pressure has been highter then normal as well. Usually i'm at 115 over 60 something at rest. Now with the heart racing it gets to about 136 over 80. Also have felt some quivering in the center of my chest & then feel a thump!!!


I do not have a history of heart disease, 33, 110 pounds. They are putting a holter monitor on me tomorrow to see why I have been getting arythmias.

I am scared. :(

Holter monitor came back & my heart is fine. I am now on a beta blocker for the time being to get my heart rate down. They also have me on an anxiety medication for awhile, just to get me back on track. Have had a problem with anxiety since I started having problems with my gallbladder & had surgery to remove it this past april. Also my husband lost his job last october & he was in the hospital this past year as well. So it's not been a good year.


I am also having some bad problems with heartburn since gallbladder surgery & take prilosec. Heartburn, if bad enough, can mimic heart pain as the nerves in your esophagus & heart overlap in your chest. It can also cause a rapid heart rate.

Stress does a number on the body! I would cut caffeine out=i had a high heart rate after I had a minor stroke (i'm 32) they told me no soda, tea, coffee and my heart rate is now in the eighties. I lost ten pounds and exercise. I just got the green light that I am healthy. What a relief. When you feel stress why don't you try yoga or listen to some nice music. You would be surprised how the body response to that!!

Hi jennys11,
you gave some good advice. I totally agree it's stress, as it's been a bad year for me & hubby. Dr said it's anxiety attacks, everything this past year built up on me. I hardly drink caffeine, maybe one cup of coffee in the morning. I've been an avid exerciser for the past decade & walking on the treadmill for a good 20 minute stretch or another form of exercise definitely helps my stress levels. I've been able to get my heart rate back down between 70/80. When I feel it going back up, because of anxiety, I do a lot of slow breathing. Something else i'm finding helps with the stress/anxiety when I can't sleep, is taking valerian root at night. It definitely helps to get a good nights sleep.


Hope everything continues well with your health.
