A member asked:

Had a gastroscopy done and was put to sleep. during the procedure my heart rate spiked to 220. dr was concerned. i'm only 18. what could this be?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Heart rate: Likely you had a paroxysmal tachycardia. It should be worked up to see if there's a structural or physiologic problem that needs attention. Don't ignore the episode, see your Doc or a cardiologist about it.
