you're having tachycardia.. try to relax, take it slow, drink lots of water but if it really is intolerable, talk to your cardiologist or go have an ECG..
see a doc about this ASAP!!!
consult a doctor or a physician
go to your gp
The only rational answer to this question is for you to see a doctor immediately.
consult yo mama.
make an appointment to a cardiologist.......get a good list of ur family history so u can let the doc kno wots up.....
It's best to see a doctor and get professional help.
It's just for a check and for you to know the exact answer to your worries.
I wish you all the best.
Defo go doctor, I know you probably thinking of ignoring every1's advice of a doctor, cuz you're thinkin theres no way u cud be sick enough, I know cuz Im like that. But think of it this way, at least if you go and you're fine you wont worry yourself to death.
Go see your family doctor -- unless you're seriously overweight and/or out of shape, your heart rate shouldn't be anywhere near that high.
Keep an aspirin handy and see a doctor. Exercise, and stop eating Twinkies.
look if it has been that high for 2 days you need to get your pressure checked and get your heart rate down or your heart will fail and you can die so you need to see a doctor now! bye go to the doctor go see you!
Check your blood sugar and go on a diet.
See a doctor but what is your blood pressure? it should be around 118/70 - normally 100 + your age but if its 120 that's OK. Is it your pulse that's 120? if so its too high. Mine was 150/96 and was told to get it down, I am 51.
You need to see a doctor ASAP.
Go TO THE DOCTOR _NOW!!!!! Do not try to set up an appointment head to an urgent care facility. If it has been that high for a week you are damaging your heart.
dont stress get a yoga cd or join a class. i had kinda same prob n it helped alot. rest visit a cardiologist for sure. eat 1 spoon honey everyday. citrus fruits r also gud 4 u. avoid fat n oils. deep breathe 15 min everyday 4 sure. avoid meat
Nobody's pulse rate stays constant for 24 hrs let alone a week and a half, so I'm afraid I simply can't accept that what you say is correct or accurate.
How are you measuring it? What is the range over which it varies during a normal day?
I am unable to believe or accept that any doctor who has examined you at a consultation recently would not have (a) noticed it (b) done something about it, - even if only just further testing-, and (c) discussed it with you.
Go to your doctor.
I think that the most likely thing wrong is that you are anxious which is making your heart race. Anxiety can do that.
get medical attention as soon as you can, and this will sound odd but try not to stress about it too much - stress/anxiety can contribute to a raised heart rate.
good luck
