What Causes Heart Rate To Be 230?
Hello. My partner is 65 male(office work) 30lbs overweight and went to the doctor today witha 230 heart rate. Tomorrow he is going to a cardiologist. He also has 3 stents. The doctor also had said that all other tests were fine. What would cause a 230 heart rate and should we be concerned?...Thank you

DEAR USER,
THANKS FOR CONSULTING WITH HCM
YES YOU SHOULD BE CONCERNED AS AN HEART RATE OF 230 IS ABNORMAL REQUIRES UREGENT MEDICAL ATTENTION
AND AS HE HAD HEART DISEASE IN PAST YOU SHOULD BE CONCERNED AND TAKE HIM URGENTLY TO THE CARDIOLOGIST
AN ECG AND ECHOCARDIOGRAPHY IS REQUIRE TO TELL YOU ABOUT THE CAUSE OF SUCH HIGH TACHYCARDI PROBABLY ITS ARRYTHMIA
HOPE I ANSWERED YOUR QUERY. YOU CAN MESSAGE ME FOR ANY FURTHER CONCERNS
