A member asked:
Teen 15. with arrythmia, my heart rate goes to 220 beats per minute and can last for half an hour. is this dangerous?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Tachycardia: A diagnosis of the type and cause of the arrhythmia is necessary. In some people such an arrhythmia can be dangerous. It shouldn't be ignored. Once the Doc has identified the information, the Doc can tell you if the arrhythmia is dangerous in you.
