Is Heart Racing Just An After Effect Of Gallbladder Removal?
Hi im female an 23 I had emergency gallbladder removal in aug. I ended up in ICU for two weeks with pancreatitus and was tachycardiac the whole time an needed oxygen because my heart rate was so fast. Now my heart is always racing when I use the blood pressure machines in the store my heart rate is always around 126. Is my heart racing just a symptom of my gallbladder removal?

Hi,
You should not be experiencing a heart rate of this level. It should be 60-80 at rest. You may be suffering an arrhythmia. Therefore, I suggest you see your doctor for tests.
