If your resting heart rate is 108 and you feel dizzy, should you lay down and sleep or go to urgent care?

Stay or go?: It is not possible to give specific advice on an important question like that in this tiny space. In general, if one is otherwise healthy but has tachycardia and dizziness, it could indicate dehydration (or many other conditions.) If you want advice on your particular situation, consider a consultation with an MD here on HealthTap (or in an office or a clinic) so that we can go over the details.

DIZZY: Would like more info, but if not available, I would say based on your age and symptoms, and emergency department visit would be a reasonable decision.
