A member asked:
Was in the er with suddenly high heart rate of 138bpm and suspected severe reflux. they diagnosed strep. better 4 days later, by my chest aches. why?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Return to ER: Unless you had high fever, your high heart rate may or may not be related to the strep. Return to the er or go to another er and get rechecked. Chest pain related to strep could indicate pericarditis. High heart rate and chest pain can also represent a pulmonary embolism, unrelated to strep. You need further evaluation as soon as possible.
