Am i in danger with the pulse of 108?
Patient: my doctor raised my blood pressure medicine to a higher dosage, it was too high iam not exercising and my pulse is 108 has one double beat and one skiped when i check my pulse for the whole minute, am i in danger of a heart attack or something dangerous?e mail is YYYY@YYYY Doctor: It sounds like you may be having a heart arrhythmia, which is abnormal heartbeats. Some types of irregular beats can be dangerous. 108 is also too fast- not dangerous by itself, but could indicate an underlying problem that needs investigation. It is possible the increased blood pressure medicine is causing the problem. You need to talk your doctor right away and have a heart tracing (EKG) done. If you are having any kind of symptoms with it, such as chest pain, shortness of breath, dizziness, nausea, etc, that is an emergency and you need to call for emergency services right away.
