Fast Resting Heart Rate. Normal ECG. Suggestions?
My resting heart rate is always fast. Between 90 and 160 bpm. I have been on numerous heart monitors and numerous ECG's and nothing has ever come up. I now am extremely worried about it as no treatment has been supplied either. My heart rate rises when I sit or stand up right until I lay back down and even then it is still fast. Im at my last nerve neo and very fed up of being shoved on heart monitors! Help please! What do you suggest?

Hi friend,
Welcome to Health Care Magic
It could be Postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS)?
Is the blood pressure normal?
Has thyroid been investigated?
You may even need Electro Physiological Studies (EPS)
Consult an ELECTRO-PHYSIOLOGIST.
The treating doctor may suggest them depending on need, based on his assessment of the situation.
Take care
Wishing all well
God bless
Good luck
