Can dramatic loss of weight due to anorexia cause a sinus tachycardia type arrythmia?
I lost my appetite due to anxiety and basically just did not eat for about 8 weeks apart from the odd bite of someting here and there. I'm eating normally now.
I developed high blood pressure and sinus tachycardia with normal blood levels. It was blamed on stress and anxiety, possibly chronic fatigue as i get a lot of pain and neuro symptoms too. It all started when I had post natal depression.
Now I am on beta blockers to try and control my arrythmia and high blood pressure,though they don't always work, could the cause of the heart probs be the not eating or could it just be the constant stress?

Anxiety + anorexia, can cause sinus tachycardia, and can be controlled by beta blockers.

I've tried many diets and couldn't make anything work. Since having my first child, I've been carrying around an extra 30 pounds. This diet just made sense and showed me that everything I was doing before was wrong and a waste of my time.
The plan was so refreshing and so simple to follow. I did everything plan said and lost 23 pounds in the first three weeks. I'm now starting the diet again to lose 7 more pounds. This plan has changed my life.

Depends.
If the rapid weight loss is due to malnutrition it is likley your electrolytes will be out of balance and that can cause cardiac complications.
Beta blockers are not the best option, calcium channel blockers are more kind to the heart.

Sounds like it's a combination of all you've been through - and you've really been through it, haven't you? Bless you.
Sometimes it takes awhile for the medication to completely control the arrythmias. So don't be concerned - unless your doctor expresses concern over it. (I had to go on meds for arrythmias after getting hit by lightning, so I have some experience with the process.)

both definitely are contributing factor to your arrhythmia.while it is hard to just get rid of the stress,try to have a good diet intake and exercise.stick with your antiarrythmia for now and hope for it to work.common to have some adjustments with your medication too till youll get the right dosage and med

So what's happened to the tachycardia?

Both could be the cause.
