I am having a fast heart beat. My pulse is about 136 per minute, it is usually 60 to 70. Started just as I finished dinner. I did have a cup of caffine tea about 2 hours earlier, and 2 small cups, one tea bag, at 9:30am. However, I often have this much tea. This happened about 9 months ago, but my cardiologist just said to hold my breath, and relax. He didn t seem concerned. I know I have [ ] regurgitation --ventrical(?) I can t remember the first part.
