How to treat blood clots in the lungs?
Patient: hi my name is jamie i'm currently 5ft11inches nd i way 11stone 7 , i was in hospital over the new year with blood clots on my lungs the doctor ordered a 24 hour heart monitor to be fitted in which during that time my heart rate went between 40 to 140 over a 24 hour period my mum has angina and i have been sent an appointment saying i got to have another one fitted what could be wrong with me . Doctor: Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.I can understand your concern.Heart rate fluctuations from 40-140 is considered as abnormal.This is commonly seen with heart blocks and arrhythmia (rhythm disturbances in heart).So better to consult Cardiologist for the diagnosis.You may need repeat Holter monitoring (24 hours continuous recording of Ecg) with blood pressure recording also.You may need anti arrhythmia drugs to regulate your heart rate.Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
