Suggest Treatment For High Pulse Rate

I would explain as follows:
Detailed Answer:
Hello!
Welcome and thank you for asking on HCM!
Regarding your concern, I would explain that this heart rate is not dangerous and can be quite normal, as long as you do not have any symptoms like shortness of breath or palpitations.
Anyway, I would recommend performing some tests to investigate for the possible underlying causes:
- a resting ECG and a cardiac ultrasound
- complete blood count for anemia
- thyroid hormone levels for possible thyroid dysfunction
- blood electrolytes for possible electrolyte imbalance.
Anyway, if you do not have any troubles and all the above tests result normal, there is no need to take medication to lower your heart rate.
Hope to have been helpful!
Kind regards,
Dr. Iliri


My opinion as follows:
Detailed Answer:
Hello!
Thank you for the additional information.
Coming to this point, as all your performed cardiac and blood lab tests result normal there is nothing to worry about.
Regarding the slight mitral valve prolapse, it is not a concerning issue, but it is known to cause increased heart rate and even ectopic heart beats and palpitations.
Coming to this point, I would recommend starting low doses of betablockers like bisoprolol or metoprolol, etc..
You should discuss with your doctor on the above issues.
But do not worry about any shorter lifespan, because you can have a normal life just like other healthy individuals.
Regarding physical activity, I would recommend continue being active as you have done until now. Nothing bad is going to happen! So relax!
Hope you will find this answer helpful!
Wishing all the best,
Dr. Iliri
