Hi,I am Dr. Prabhakar Koregol (Cardiologist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
My heart rate keeps racing. It comes on all off a sudden and it about 148bpm and my normal resting heart rate is 70 after this happens my head starts to ache and with the help off a blue inhalor which isnt mine i can bring the heart rate down. Am i in danger?
Regarding your concern, I would recommend you to perform a cardiac check up to rule out any structural or rhythm disorders. A resting ECG, cardiac ultrasound and an ambulatory ECG monitoring are helpful to that issue.
It seems to be just stress, that produces those symptoms and your heart racing, nevertheless we have to be cautious.
I would not encourage you to continue using that blue inhaler, but to try to address the factors responsible for your clinical scenario.
Some blood tests would be necessary to exclude some systemic disorders (anemia, thyroid dysfunction, renal disorders, etc).
Hope to have been helpful to you. Greetings! Dr. Iliri
