Suggest Medication For Rapid Heart Rate
Hi, I have noticed that I know when I am going to get a cold because while resting my heart rate starts racing from 120 on up per minute. Also if I drink alcohol 3 beers makes my hear race so badley I feel as if it is going to come out of my chest. (so I no longer drink)
But I have noticed lately that my heatr is pounding climbing steps, or while doing nothing. Periodicially throughout the day.
I was seen at a cardiologist last year they couldn't pin point the cause, they said it could be I am getting adreniline rushes.
I am not overweight, I am 5'7 and 130 lbs, I am very active, but am finding it had to work out on the elliptical do to my rapid heart beat while on it, last year I was able to go for 25 minutes a day and now I can hardley go 2 minutes, my heart races so bad I get a sick stomache.
Any ideas what could be causing this.

Hi There
I have read the medical details provided by you and its good to hear that you are no more taking alcohol. I would like to suggest few things to you which you need to follow regularly
1. Eat healthy, include lots of fresh vegetables and fruits in your daily diet
2. Avoid eating junk and canned food.
3. Stop smoking (if you do) as its a stimulant and it increases heart rate.
4. Get a fasting Lipid profile, Complete blood count (CBC), Thyroid function test done and a HOLTER monitoring (24 hr ambulatory EKG) done.
5. Start doing YOGA/ MEDITATION every morning if you cant go for a walk at present.
I would also like to start you on a low dose BETA BLOCKER initially along with the things which i have mentioned above. Follow this regularly for a minimum of 3 months and i quite sure that you wont be needing any medicine after 3 months.
For a BETA BLOCKER prescription its advisable that you should consult your cardiologist personally and discuss with him for your options.
I wish you good health
