What Should Be Done For Racing Heart Rate When Suffering From Heart Disease?
Hi, I'm 5feet, 31 years old, mother of 3 with cardio-neurogenic syncope related to lupus causing damage to the vegas nerve. I also have high blood pressure. I forgot to take my medication (metropolol 100mg) and while lying in bed my heart started racing past 112bpm. I took my medication immediately, should I seek emergency medical help or should this resolve itself without further problems? I also have the lupus anti-coagulant antibody (thick blood) and have not been taking the daily baby aspirin.

Hi,
112 is not a very high heart rate, it will settle after taking Metoprolol. Normally after exercise heart rate may rise 130-140. So it's not a matter of worry.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Sagar Makode
