A member asked:

I have sinus tachycardia. i am on pristiqdont want to switch. my pulse sometimes is 104/at night 90s. i am 69; otherwise healthy. should i be worried about a stroke or heart attack from hi pulse?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Pristiq does not have a listed side effect of tachycardia. Many things can influence your risk of heart attack or stroke, including smoking, diet, exercise, alcohol intake, family history, personal history of diabetes or high blood pressure. Would recommend discussing your risk factors and possible testing with your doctor.
