A member asked:

My wife has an eating disorder and often gets a raised heart rate of over 160bpm. what resources can help her?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

ED Tx Team: Your best bet is teaming up with professionals who treat eating disorders. In an ideal world that would include a primary care doctor, psychiatrist, nutritionist and psychologist. Your first stop should be with a physician to exam her raised heart rate. Let the doc know about the ED history. You can find online resources here http://www.nationaleatingdisorders.org.

A member asked:

I am on 20 mg nortriptyline daily for migraine headaches. It has raised by resting heart rate from 52 bpm to 72 bpm. Unsurprisingly I am a distance runner, and it seems as if it is significantly slowing my pace. Does that make sense?
