Why Has Tachycardia Lasted Beyond Cured Klebsiella Infection?
2 years ago I had a klebsiella infection of my kidneys. This caused tachycardia which has lasted beyond the infection. This has been treated with low dose beta blockers. I m still tachycardia. How long will this last? Why has it lasted beyond the infection? Is this going to be a permanent thing?

Dear Friend.
Welcome to HCM. I am Dr Anshul Varshney.
I have read your query in detail. I understand your concern.
It is not possible to have tachycardia after 2 years of Klebsiella infection.
You need to get a ECG, Thyroid profile as basic investigation for Tachycardia.
I would like to know your resting pulse rate to give you better details.
This is my best advice for you with the available details, if you have any further query, please ask us.
Stay Healthy
