Could Extreme Increase In Heart Rate While Walking Be Due To Hormones?
My heart rate increases dramatically when I stand or walk around. It feels like it is going to beat out of my chest. I have just had a heart cath and all vessels are clear. Have had CT scan for lung clot..none there. all tests given in a resting position are normal. under the care of a cardiologist but this heart pounding is debilitating. doing research on my own now. could it be due to extremely low estragin levels or some other hormone levels? First docs said I had Pericarditis and gave me Steroids for 6 days. was pain free for a week and then it came back much worse for a week. I don't fit into the easy answer diagnoses on this one.

Hello,
I advise you to take a beta-blocker tablet as Concor once per day for such heart acceleration. All you suffer from is cardiac effect for your previous operation. So don't be afraid. Its benign condition.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Dr. Dalia Nayel
