Tachycardia

I had jury duty a couple of years ago, and the case was a molesting one-only too familiar, along with being a victim of a violent crime later in life. I thought my heart was going to explode!! I had to tell this whole room of strangers why I couldn't render "justice" and be totally fair to the defendant. I know the feeling!

Thank you for the replies... I'm going to the heart dr today to make sure everythings ok.. I havent had an

episode since , THANK GOD!!!

My heart has raced b4 BUT nothing like that day, that was very scary...

 

TACHYCARDIA.....  is a very scary feeling...I didn't know I had this SERIOUS problem whatsoever in APRIL 2005....I was in my Mother-in-Laws kitchen making a sandwich and my heart just started racing very  very fast....I could literally see my clothes moving so fast that I really didn't know what was going on....So I sat down and it passed.....after almost passing out....Then  the same week it happened again and I was rushed tp the ER....MY HEART RATE WENT TO 243 beats per min........according to the ER physician......They  did a heart catherization and  on May 24th, 2005..... My Dr. in in BR, LA  told that I needed a defib and pacemaker......So after that implant......in August  2005  3 0r 4 days before Hurricane KATRINA came in I got my first defib shock while bending down to wipe my refrigerator down...needless to say I have learned this past year that my defibs wire SPRINT FIDELIS LEAD WIRES

are on a recall.....by the FDA.......I'm scared but I'll let GOD handle all of this....GOOD LUCK TO YOU ALL................

I THINK  THE RATE SHOULD BE AROUND 80-100 BPM......CHECK WITH YOUR DR........GOOD LUCK!!!!!!!!!!

Good Morning,

Here are your heart rates.

For resting heart rate:

• Newborn infants: 100 - 160 beats per minute
• Children 1 to 10 years: 70 - 120 beats per minute
• Children over 10 and adults (including seniors): 60 - 100 beats per minute
• Well-trained athletes: 40 - 60 beats per minute

There are several different types of Tachycardia with a range of heart rates or BPM (Beats per minute).

Hara, a heart rate of 109-114 BPM is a Sinus Tachycardia and is often linked to anxiety. 

I hope this helps and please do feel free to ask any questions you may have.

I will be glad to try to answer them for you.  Please remember I am not a physician.

Gentle Hugs

Kitt

I get the fast beating heartbeats. I've had the heart monitors, EKG's, ultrasound and stress test. I've been told it's caused by anxiety. Once the doctor tells you this, you can relax and begin to accept the racing/skipped beats. Others have actual heart problems and that's why their heart rate goes much higher. I'm glad you're seeing a heart doctor to put your mind at ease.
