I am 50 years old have tachycardia, but lately all I want to do is sleep. I injured my back in 2000. Get headaches alot, can go 2 to 3 days not eating. Get dizzy standing up. am on Cymbalta 60mg once a day,Metoprolol ER 100mg once a day,Lisinopril 10mg once a day, Morphine 30mg 1 every 8 hours, Methadone 10mg eight times a day. Also am 5 6 and weigh 232. I know over the winter I got lazy. Sometimes walking just wears me out and my heart beats out of my chest, yesterday my pulse was very high and I was just sitting.

Hello,

You may be having some condition here, a tachycardia while sitting and getting effortless may be signs of heart failure. You need to get checked by a cardiologist to do EKG, echocardiography, and some labs. Some thyroid dysfunction may be a differential here. So, I suggest to do a thyroid profile. Also, check your blood pressure regularly as it may be lowered too much with you medications.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Mahmmad Gamal
