I'm having tachycardia issues

Hi Soapopera123, I like to start by defining what sounds like a word that sounds serious. Tachycardia is a fancy word for increased heart rate. It's used anytime your heart rate exceeds what they call normal or about 100. I had a condition named Ventricular Tachycardia which is a abnormally high heart rate of the lower part of the heart. It would reach heart rates at times over 200.
So you mentioned what sounds like they put a loop recorder in to monitor your heart. This will be a blessing if the reason for your elevated heart rate is determined and how high it gets. So I defiantly would not worry if its like in the low hundreds. I have known people, including myself that can have normal heartrate in the 100-120 range. So my I ask how high they have told you yours get? The only time I ever needed further treatment is when mine got high enough that I was out of breath also. Kind of like when you run a 100 yard dash without taking a step. So I hope that my set your mind at ease a bit. Now if the heart rate is more like in the 150-200 range then I would definitely suggest seeing a cardiologist.
Let me know if I can help further.

Ty Dana, it does help to know I'm not alone. I have an appointment with my doctor next week so I could talk to him and ask him exactly. What's. Going on and how much my heart rate is? I'm just in the dark about this whole thing. Thank you so much for advice it does help.
