I'm experiencing moments when my pulse rate shoots up to 200 or more, and it lasts for about 4 to 5 hours. Can you help me understand why this is happening?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
A pulse rate of 200 and above for 4 to 5 hours can be a sign of a serious medical condition called supraventricular tachycardia (SVT). SVT is a rapid heart rate that starts in the upper chambers of the heart. It can be caused by various factors such as stress, caffeine, alcohol, or underlying heart conditions. You should seek immediate medical attention if you experience such high and prolonged heart rates. The medication that can be used to help control SVT includes medications like Adenosine or Verapamil. The dosage and duration of treatment will be determined by a healthcare professional based on your individual case.

View allI've been on Nebicard 5 mg for about three years and I'm also taking Ciplar, Serta, and Etizola for anxiety and panic attacks as my psychiatrist prescribed. I have mild MVP and I'm really concerned about whether taking Nebicard and Ciplar together might cause any problems. Plus, I'm experiencing random episodes of excessive sweating. Could this be linked to my MVP or is it just part of my anxiety? I'm worried and would appreciate any insight you might have.

I'm 23 and have been dealing with constant chest pain for about a week now. I thought it might just be because of gas, so I tried some home remedies, but the pain hasn't gone away. I'm really starting to get worried. What could be causing this? Should I be concerned?
Persistent chest pain should not be ignored, as it can be a sign of a serious medical condition. In this case, it is important to rule out any cardiac issues. You can take Acetaminophen 500mg for pain relief, but I recommend seeking medical attention as soon as possible for a proper evaluation and diagnosis.

Been dealing with heart palpitations for about 3 weeks now and it's starting to worry me a bit. I'm taking hypertension meds and Prozac at 10mg. I've had these palpitations before, around 2 weeks, but they went away and my doctor said everything was fine with my heart then. Any thoughts on what might be going on or if there's something else I should consider? Should I be concerned this time?
