Can Mold In The Blood Cause Tachycardia?
I am a 24 year old, 102 lbs, diagnosed with Crohn's Disease when I was 12. Since April I have had symptoms such as sinus tachycardia, weight loss, headaches, weakness, loss of appetite, anxiety as a cause of being undiagnosed. I have worn a 5 wk hr monitor and have seen an electrophysiologist who said my heart was fine and it was something causing the tachycardia. STILL NO DIAGNOSIS after seeing rheumatologist, gastro, neuro. I went to get accupuncture today and she tested my blood and found an abundance of mold. Could this be the issue???? Please help :)

Hi,
Mold does not cause tachycardia.
Sometimes there will be transient increase in heart rate especially associated with stress and anxiety. it will settle by itself. Avoid unwanted stress and anxiety.
If you still experience the symptoms, better to consult a cardiologist and get serial ECG monitoring for further assessment.
Hope I have answered your query.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
