A member asked:
Is there a such thing as your heart beating too fast? can it kill you? i'm taking this drug that makes my heart beat crazy fast. and i am worried.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Rapid heart rate can make you pass out and cause other heart problems. This can also convert into some malignant arrhythmias which could be fatal. I would recommend stopping the drug and seek medical attention asap.
