Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
i take 180 mg of cartia every 24 hrs. last two days heart rate has increased to 135 bpm and holds rate for 2-3 hours while sleeping. should I increase dosage by taking another pill before bedtime. last took pill at 8:00 am this morning. It is now 9:00pm.
I think you should get back to your cardiologist and report this issue to him/her. We should understand first why this increased heart rate instead of lowering it?
Keep monitoring your blood pressure, and heart rate, record the results for reference.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Albana Sejdini,
General & Family Physician
