A member asked:
Significant palpitations. had ekg, read as sinus tachycardia at 170 bpm. what can this be? 26 years old; no caffeine, drugs, etc. all normal labs

Unlikely: I doubt you really have sinus tachycardia at 170. Although it's possible, I suspect this is a supraventricular tachycardia. EKG computers frequently misread this rhythm. Your EKG needs to be seen by a card-carrying cardiologist. While we're at it, you do too!
