Specializes in Internal Medicine - Endocrinology

Get it checked out : The seriousness of this depends on how fast it is beating. Anything above 120 needs urgently evaluation in an er. Or if you are not sure how fast it is bearing go to an er. It could be a cardiac rhythm disturbance that needs special treatment.

Resting heart rate 115. 2 Martinis and 4 cigarettes in the past 5 hours probably the only reason? Drank about 4 glasses of water, anything else I can do to lower it? It's too uncomfortable to sleep with it beating so fast.
