How many RSD patients have heart problems? I saw my Dr a few days ago and we have to rule out other things first threw blood work. But my heart rate stays increasingly high and I have "episodes" to where it really speeds up and I get really hot and sweat profusely and have to lay down in a cool room to get my heart rate to slow down. When my dr checked my sats at rest my heart rate was in the 130s and it was early morning. She wants to rule out thyroid issues first and if that comes back fine then she said I need to start meds to slow my HR down and then go from there. She said its possible its the RSD and it affecting the sympathetic nerves affecting my heart, so I don't know what we will do if that's what it comes down to. Anybody else have similar issues?
