Rapid HR: Not clear why you see a cardiologist. However, you should eliminate all caffeine and increase water and fluid intake. Your thyroid might be hyperactive and needs to be checked. You might be out of shape. If your heart rate continues to be elevated then you can see a cardiologist. Do not take any over the counter medications without consulting with your physicians.

I have a-fib with a rapid resting heart rate. My cardiologist just prescribed 50mg Metoprolol succinate twice a day ( I was taking 25mg/day). I read that the succinate should be taken only once a day.Is it safe to take it twice a day like prescribed?

My sons heart rate at rest is 48bpm. He does quite a lot of exercise but he sometimes feels his heart skip beats which makes him light headed. Is this normal or do I need to see a cardiologist? Thanks
My resting pulse rate has been 95 to 100 beats per minute for the last few days. I've had heart tests with a cardiologist about a year ago and all was fine. Can stress and anxiety cause that?
My heart rate has been very high (resting 110+ & general 140+). I went to a cardiologist & had tests but it's normal. What could it be? No caffeine.
I have had my heart thoroughly checked by cardiologist recently. Lately my sitting down resting pulse rate is about 80 beats per minute. When I stand it goes up to 100 to 105 and only settles to 90 to 95 when just standing still. What could be causes?
