A member asked:
Healthy, fit 37 yo male runner. recently began amitriptyline for a chronic pain condition. it's been very helpful for controlling pain but raised my resting heart rate from 55-65 bpm to 75-85bpm. is this damaging my heart/increasing cardiac risk?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
The increased heart rate, although higher than your baseline, is still within normal limits. This will not damage your heart. Good luck to you!

I am on 20 mg nortriptyline daily for migraine headaches. It has raised by resting heart rate from 52 bpm to 72 bpm. Unsurprisingly I am a distance runner, and it seems as if it is significantly slowing my pace. Does that make sense?
My resting heart rate ranges from 55-60 bpm. If I get surgery with general or spinal anesthesia can having a low resting heart rate (no congenital heart disease or arrhythmia. Except benign palpitations) put me at risk of cardiac arrest?
