last march i went to doc with suspected chest infection and they noticed my heart rate was fast. i was admitted into hospital and all test were done nothing was found. i get chest tightness and palpatations esp on exertion. walking up stairs, exercise stressfull situations all set my heart racing. the rate often goes up to 170 even without exertion.i get tired and dizzy from this and i seem to always pick up illness's easily. what can i do?

Hi
I had this problem in the past, after miscarriage.
heart doctor said my heart was fine..diagnosis
sinus tachycardia.
mine was up to 160 bpm.
I was going through alot of stress at the time.
weird thing worked for me though..prayer.
I never was religious,but when it happened I just prayed and it went away instantly..
maybe anxiety was the reason..still dont know.
I still get irregular heartrates when hot,tire or understess..but they last only about 10 minutes,
not 3 hours like before, also I dont get shakes with it.
seperating from my controling muslim husband helped too..lol

your doctor should have put u on antiarrythmia drugs...heart rate of 170 cannot be ignored, u sure u didnt have any medications for it?

170 is pretty fast. Maybe you should seek a 2nd opinion

Exercise more, when you exercise it works your hearts and after a while you'll build it up and it won't be so easy to ghet your heart rate up

You should consult your physician about having a cardiac stress test done. This should not be left unattended !
