Hi,I am Dr. Amitkumar Sharma (Internal Medicine Specialist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
What Is The Cause Of A Racing Heart With A Bladder Infection?
my mother recently went to the er for a bladder infection and had a blood pressure of 240/106 they got it down and told her make an appointment and she did. In the meantime she said she got sick last night and her heart is racing off and on today and she feels weird.
Increased heart rate can occur commonly as a result of illness. It occurs due to fever, altered metabolism that can occur in illness, any electrolyte abnormalities due to altered appetite or fluid loss.
If it is entirely due to her acute condition then it would resolve as the infection improves.
If the palpitations are significant or associated with any other symptoms such as chest pain and shortness of breath, she may want to consider visiting her doctor for an assessment.
I hope this helps
