Question 1

can i drink non alcoholic beer with irregular heart beat and kidney stones ?

Accepted Answer

Yes: And the alcoholic kind, if not in excess. I trust that if the kidney stones are made of uric acid and you have gout, you're either being treated or will keep the alcohol use down.

Question 2

what is the definition or description of: rapid heart beat?

Accepted Answer

Rapid Heart Beat: A Heart beat (pulse) over 100 beats per minute. The medical term is tachycardia.  There are several reasons for a tachycardia.  The most common is a sinus tachycardia which is usually a normal response to physical, emotional or metabolic exertion or illness.  Other reasons are for rhythm problems such as atrial fibrillation, atrial flutter, supraventricular tachycardia, and others.

Question 3

rapid heart beat at rest. why?

Accepted Answer

Many reasons: There can be multiple reasons, including overactive thyroid, anemia, fever, dehydration, pain, abnormal heart function.

Question 4

what causes tachycardia? should a rapid heart beat be a concern?

Accepted Answer

Tachycardia: "Tachycardia" means rapid heart rate. Any stress will make your heart beat fast: fear, anxiety, pain, anger, walking, lifting your arms, standing up. Also: fever, anemia, XS thyroid, infection, pregnancy, and many many other conditions as well. The underlying cause should be addressed if you are concerned.

Question 5

what to do if i have a rapid heart beat and breathing what is going on?

Accepted Answer

Go to ER/PCP: go to ER or PCP and have vitals checked including ekg, pcxr to start

Question 6

constant rapid heart beat/ palpitations, what is this?

Accepted Answer

Rapid heartbeat: Sounds like rapid heart beat to me. The cornerstone of treatment is an accurate diagnosis. If you truly have constant rapid heart beat, it's going to be exceedingly easy to diagnose (with just an ekg). Otherwise, a 24 hour recording would be helpful.

Question 7

rapid heart beat and pain in chest and arm.

Accepted Answer

Seek help right away: You did not provide much information, but if these symptoms just started today and you have not been evaluated for them before, i encourage you to go to your nearest er for proper evaluation with ECG and possibly a stress test to make sure you are not having a heart attack or other heart ischemia.

Question 8

can i experience rapid heart beat and pressure behind eyes while on effexor (venlafaxine) xr?

Accepted Answer

Yes: These sound most like discontinuation symptoms (when one suddenly stops a medicine without tapering the dose). Rapid heart rate (tachycardia) can occur in some individuals during regular therapy with venlafaxine (effexor).  Headache is also a common side effect of effexor.

Question 9

what would cause rapid heart beat, dizziness and blurred vision when standing in heat a long time?

Accepted Answer

Dehydration: Dehydration causes low blood pressure. The heart beats faster to compensate.

Question 10

rapid heart beat, shortness of breath, heart defect as a child(but ok now). should i stop strattera (atomoxetine)?

Accepted Answer

Probably fine: You certainly should make sure your physician is aware of the prior history, but strattera (atomoxetine) typically has little effect on the heart.  If you are referring to a murmur, e.g., it would have no real impact.  If the strattera (atomoxetine) is working but you're concerned, asked for a cardiology consultation.
