A member asked:

All heart tests are normal.i take 25mg atenolol daily. this helps my anxiety which causes fast hr. is it ok to have racing heart 120bpm for 20 min.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Rapid heart rate: That heart rate for twenty minutes won't harm a healthy heart, but it may cause uncomfortable symptoms. If there is no endocrine abnormality like hyperthyroidism or pheochromocytoma, perhaps stress management therapy may be effective. Abstinence from alcohol,caffeine and nicotine are also important.
