Hi, How do you do? I am Annie, I have bloodpreasure problem and taking medication, recently I discovered that my pulse is 122 and it is going on a very long time. I do have hypothyroidism and the blood test show my TSH, T2 T3 absolutely normal. My mother died recently in heart disease but I never had a heart problem, what is wrong with me if my pulse, my heart racing all the time?
