Pulse of 108.
 

Right now, I've been laying in bed fr
about an hour and I've realized how fast my pulse is. I took it, and it continually beats around 108-106 beats per minute.

My breathing is a little
shallow-yet not due to the mg I don't think... And I've had chest pains 2 times today.

My reg. Doc is getting me an echocardiogram and a stress test. Yet I'm not sure if it's going to be soon enough.


Any ideas are well appreciated!

chest pain and rapid pusle.
 

(should be pulse)

I think you should go to the ER.

a good ER doctor should be able to do the right tests, consult the right people and find out what is going on.

there are too many things that can cause such symptoms. some of which may require urgent or semi-urgent care, and I don't think any one can give you serious advice on an internet forum, or even on the phone.

Please let us know what happens! I'm sorry you have this new worry on top of everything else.

I just tried to go to sleep....I know i should have gone to the ER. If it happens again tonight, i will go, or i will text my doctor today telling her my pulse was that high.


Thanks

Tyson,

I understand as mine was 120 the other day, than went back to normal. My Dr. will see me Monday and set up a stress test as well.

My husband and I laugh and wonder how that will go because with MG we both know I won't be able to do much..LOL

Keep us updated kiddo!

Tyson, What is your "normal" pulse? Do you know? 108 is very high. When my pulse was stuck that high and into the 110's, I had clostridium difficile (an infection). My normal is in the 60's. (Lizzie, I bolded that so you know it's not bradycardia, though I have that sometimes due to fluid issues.) I'm not saying that is what you have but that it is not normal, like everyone else here has said.

It doesn't matter if it is not happening at this very minute. It happened. What if it happens when you are sleeping? It's actually a 911 situation, not a wait and see one.

I hope your docs, ER or regular, can figure all this out.

I have to add this, not be contrary, Lizzie. I did ask what Tyson's normal was. None of what he is experiencing lately sounds normal.

My pulse has always been in the 60's. I know my normal. So do my docs. That's why knowing your normal BP/pulse is one essential thing about your health to be aware of.

I have S-loads of experience too, Lizzie, but we can't possibly know Tyson's situation completely. I'm erring on the side of caution - don't want you to have a heart attack, Tyson.

Guys I dont wanna cause a fight here:) Yet, i just did my heart rate and it was 98. Usually at night it gets really high, and i can feel it all throughout my body, then i have intermittent heart pains.

So i dont think this is normal maxwells mom- sorry, but im def. not getting all worried and stuff, but i jut want to not be in pain, or have to worry about waking up in the morning:) A kid at the age of 17, shouldnt have to deal w a stress test or an echocardiogram. Yet i am, and im glad its gonna happen, because i want to feel better.

Yet i dont think 108, is okay for a teenager, AT REST.

Even alice says so.

I am going to have to intervene here and request that everyone please take a step back

Tyson, as you are a minor, I assume your guardian is taking an active role in your healthcare?

this is a patient to patient support forum, and is NEVER to be considered a substitute for taking medical advice from your own physician.

there is a disclaimer here at the bottom of all pages
in that light I have also done some editing as, where no-one, nomatter their qualifications, can dispense "medical" advice here, that also does not give any member the right to post a negative slur about someone else's claimed credentials. That is called flaming and is prohibited in our guidelines


In addition (and this is *not* directed to the above poster who was edited) and to settle something once and for all that has been a source of problems here, at NeuroTalk we keep a very close eye on what is happening on our forums and we are perfectly capable of checking IPs, computer "cookies" etc for ourselves thank you.
Please stop with the rumor mongering about who is who, or who may be posting with dual IDs etc. It is simply not accurate information.
People have quite enough to deal with related to their health without others manufacturing drama where it does not exist.
Please also remember that the guidelines here apply to posts as well as PMs and so if members forward PMs to us that violate our guidelines, we will be taking action
here again are the NT guidelines

Tyson, once again I am going to recommend that where you use this forum for support and exchange of information, you only take medical advice from your own doctor

thanks

Lizzie, I think everyone here knows how incredible you are and that you ALWAYS have the best of intentions and concern for everyone. Tyson knows that too, I'm quite certain. What you have to share is invaluable. And you are right - some teens do have a high pulse, like infants can. I'm glad you always share yourself and information so freely, honestly and which such passion and love. :hug:

Tyson, I don't see Lizzie and I as fighting! ;) We care, so we kind of make sure all bases have been covered. Both sides - or all sides - of any situation. And that's a good thing because then all as much info can get out there.

But, like I always say, make sure you go in or call your doctor. Which I know you do, because you have a good head on your shoulders.

Take it easy.

Annie

I am locking this thread now.

If anyone would like to discuss the reasons for my needing to moderate here, please contact me via PM

the guidelines clearly state that if one would like to discuss an administrative edit or moderating post, it is to be done via PM and not on the forum so for those edited, please contact me by PM

thanks

ps I would also like to add that my post above is not directed to any one member, nor at the member who was edited, but is rather a request to all those who have been engaged in this rumoring etc
