Suggest treatment for rapid heart rate
Patient: My girlfriend is running a 111 heart rate. She is a diabetic and has a doctor appointment for the 17th and an appointment with cardio on the 19th. Should we be concerned about her waiting for the appointments with her heart rate running so high? Also has had a few chest pains on occasion but they go away. Doctor: hello,I have gone through your question.Thanks for using HCM.As such i need more information on symptoms of your girl friend.But if she has chest pain and heart rate of 111,you should get her ECG as early as possible,because in diabetics, heart disease may be deceptive and may have milder symptoms with high heart rate.so i suggest you to go for early check up,however it may turn out to be minor condition,but first we must rule out heart disease.My best wishes.Dr.Teli,MD
