A member asked:
Hr can get up to 180 only after an hour of being asleep. my ep says it is pots / reentry tach, for me to increase fluids. still really scares me.

HR: I presume you mean Heart Rate. If so, 180 is very high and needs attention as soon as possible. If I misread your question please let me know.
