High Tachycardia

Posted by jewlez @jewlez, Feb 26 2:57am

Hello..thanks for listening to me I’ve never done anything like this before actually I don’t do much tech at all. But I have been to a few doctors and admitted to the hospital for tachycardia not just above 100bpm but average of 120-170bpm. No one seems to know why I had an echo and it was normal. The doctors keep saying it’s nothing because there is no abnormal regularities to it. Though I had a heart monitor on and it showed non sustaining svt and v tach. I was admitted with pyelonephritis and tachycardia and the hospitalist actually said I don’t know why your here and sent me home…I followed up with cardio and he said I have no idea why your heart rate is so high..I’ll send you to a specialist oh I thought u were a specialist…anyway the reason I’m on this is I don’t want the run around anymore…spend lots of lonely I don’t have…and have no answers at all….I’m actually an ER RN Charge nurse on nights and I know something is wrong but no one will listen..I have 3 kids one as young as 6 and two elderly parents in their late 80’s that count on me to take care of them. I can’t be sick but I feel my heart beating out of my chest when I’m doing nothing. im not anxious no psych past no depression no anxiety nothing so pls don’t go there not much excites me because of all that I have been through and seen..but when I have asked docs they say they don’t think it’s anything and you will be fine you don’t have to go to the er when your heartrate gets high…..ok I respect that and will go on as normal which I have been doing but my heart hurts my chest hurts I’m tired and sob and I feel my heart is working too hard and one day it will stop….yea I’m on metoprolol 50mg per day but despite that my heart still beats up to 170 without any know cause…sorry for long post but I need help im scared and that’s not me…..pls reach out. Oh and all lab values are normal im healthy maybe a little overweight (165 at 5’6”) take no meds except the metoprolol no health problems no history parents are still alive no serious heart or any crazy health problems. Im just giving u all I have because im at a loss and need help I don’t want anything to happen because docs have become complacent or I haven’t pushed enough but I don’t have much money I am willing to travel for help or any docs that want to help but only for real not just a goose chase. Pls pass this on and I’ll answer any questions anyone has I’m an open book just need to be here for all my family it’s just me I lost my brother last year so there is no one else..thank you for your time ❤️and reading this long post 🥰 sorry I keep adding … but I’m tired all the time but can’t sleep again not anxious just awake with my heart beating hard and fast into my neck and head..I try not to think about it I take another pill like they told me too I lay down and still same…I do finally fall asleep usually around 4 but as u can see I’m still awake and yet I have to get up kids to school make dinner laundry lunches homework activities of each kid and so on….so it’s not like I’m not continuing on and ignoring my heart which I am…. but I’m scared that I need to put more into what is going on less ignoring maybe? Maybe not? I don’t know…I feel like it’s just a pet of me now but is that right is that ok to always be above 120bmp?

@lindy9 I appreciate your response. The medical provider that was treating me abruptly had me go off of my thyroid medication and estrogen. This has now been 3 years and I have the exact same issues as you. My hair falling out, fatigue, heart palpitations, the list goes on and on and yes the stomach protrution as well. Nobody ever said that I would have issues, and for years, after trusting them abruptly stopping them for no reason it all makes sense. I will see if I can get into a endocrinologist to get back on them. What are the drops you take called?

I don't know what the drops are called but they would be from a homepathic or maybe an osteopathic doctor. They make up a concoction supposedly designed just for you. If you don't want to be on them, you need to go on them for awhile and then wean yourself off them so that your hair stops falling out. Since you have potential for heart rhythm problems, I would do what I am doing and even wean yourself on them. I know most people just do what a doc says and then like you having your hair fallout. I have no idea why the doc would tell you to stop abruptly when it is a med which must be weaned off of.

That is very interesting that you have the stomach protrusion also. Maybe is related to the thyroid. With homeopathic meds, they CLAIM they can eventually heal the thyroid whereas alopathic or regular thyroid thyroid meds they want you to take forever. I believe it takes time. If I were to take the regular thyroid meds, I would do what I am doing with the homeopathic meds and just start with a sliver and increase little by little to test how much does not cause a problem.

For the admin here, I am not telling her what to do, just what I have done and do for many health issues I have had, and the result has been many times better than doing whatever like a dumb duck. It reminds me of a med a doc gave me in my 30's I told him I sometimes have problems with meds. He said the pill was tiny which it was. I took it and fewlt like I was on a spaceship to mars a zillion miles an hour. When I told a guy at work what happened, he told me the same had happened to him with that med but didn't say anything because he didn't want to scare me! Gee thanks.

Please let me know what happens.

Thank you for your insight and explanation and the experience that you shared. I unfortunately have the worst luck with doctors here, where I live, and a lot of them don't communicate or explain why they are doing things, and what the ramifications are of what they are doing. It is so unfortunate to find good care. I have all the symptoms of thyroid issues, and because the doctors say your labs dont look worrisome, we wont do anything. Anyone that has thyroid issues, knows that that is not how you read the labs. I have family history of thyroid issues that killed 2 of my family members and plagues 5 others. I am doing the research myself, talking to many different people before I make decisions, other than I did get back on a desiccated thyroid supplement and have noticed a very quick improvement. My fatigue is going away, I feel as if I have loads more energy, and journal the change in what I am experiencing. I realize that people have to make their own informed decisions, about what is best for their particular situation, and weigh all the odds. It is amazing to me that that little organ can have such a massive effect on the entire body. I tend to be very allergy prone to most medications, and so I have to choose things wisely out of an abundance of caution. I was on synthroid for over 10 plus years and then abruptly told to cease that and my estrogen. This wreaked havoc on my body and trying to find a doctor, like I said, has proved more than an uphill battle. I appreciate you sharing. I finally feel like I am on the right path. Thank you.

for the doc who said your labs don't look worrisome - have you seen the lab report?
I always just go to a lab to get my test and examine it. I believe you have a right to a copy of that test.

For me, the normal range shows 0 - 3. And mine is 5.4 which is way out of range.

@lindy9 Thank you for the heads up on that. I will ask for that from now on. I don’t believe that I got that and I asked for all my medical records.
