Background info: I am 24/female. I have had panic-disorder and anxiety since around 13 yrs. old. I am taking paxil 20mg and klonipin 1 mg x2 daily for anxiety. I also take Albuterol in the nebulizer for breathing problems. As needed.
My heart rate usually runs around 85-95 beats per minute. For the past 6 hours it is staying right in the range of 120 beats down to 105 beats. My blood preasure is good though.
2 weeks ago I went to the emergency room due to being very ill and weak. I had a fever of 102.8 and they noticed my heart rate was 138 and they ran me back to the main ER and hooked me up to an EKG machine, did chest x-rays and kept me on the moniter for an hour or two. The tests came back normal.
However this time I don't have a fever and am not feeling ill. The last time 2 wks ago I had a viral infection.
When I lay very still it is about 105-110. Moving makes it go faster. My breathing is hard sometimes because it feels as though i've been running.

I did take an albuterol treatment right before it started getting faster. but I have taken them many, many, many times before with no change in heart rate.
I have also been very stressed out today. And sadly I haven't drank a glass of water HONESTLY in MONTHS! ugh! I am drinking water now though.
I wanted to fill up the kids swimming pool today and do some things outdoors. Should I do them anyway? Or try to keep still and rest? I feel fine as long as it doesn't shoot back up to over 120 bpm.
I have things to do! I don't have time for this! UGH!!!! This is terrible. What should I do ?

It could be atrial fibrillation, this forum won't help you, have yourself consulted with a good cardiologist.

Hello miss lady. I do really understand what your going through. I have panic and aniexty my self and have had it for the last 20 years. I take xnax 2 mg. I have found a way to just fight the feeling and not let these dam doctors try to make me think I am crazy, that is what they did to me sending me to nut doctors. Most people that dont no anything about this might say someone is crazy but that is not the case. It is something most of the time that runs in your family as mine does, My sister and one of my daughters have it as well. It is a blood disorder. And when the blood flow is not regular cause your body to react in a strange way which cause you to feel stranger which then causes panic, I have been there so many times. I will be glad to help you if I can any way possible , THis is awfull to deal with. If you want to email me here is my addy... Babycakes3557@hotmail.com
