What conditions can cause a fast heart rate?
Patient's Query
Hello doctor,
My ECG is attached. I regularly take high blood pressure medication. Currently, my blood pressure is normal.
kindly review.
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
The ECG (electrocardiogram) (attachments removed to protect the patient’s identity) shows that you have a fast heart rate of around 120 bpm (100 bpm is the upper limit of normal at rest). This could be due to the fact that you had the ECG immediately after walking a long distance or did not have adequate rest before the test. If the ECG is taken at rest (that is, after at least 10 minutes of rest), you may need to start taking medication to control the heart rate or increase the dose if you are already on such medication. It is also important to monitor your heart rate regularly to ensure that this is not a one-time occurrence of a fast heart rate.
Regards.
