shortie - If the doctors are still diagnosing, you're not going to get a decent answer from internet strangers without any medical training. Let the doctors do their work, keep on at them until you get an answer.
ReplyDeleteDj - Not to be mean but too much fat surrounding the heart will compress it, also could be cholesterol.
ReplyDeleteMolly - I'm not sure (as I am NOT a dr.) but you may be having a Panic Attack. I have Generalized Anxiety Disorder that i'm on medication for but when I have a Panic Attack my heart rate soars well into the 130-140's. Sometimes for no reason at all.
ReplyDeleteOooo - Were you scared? Moving allot?
ReplyDeleteRebecca B - Too much caffiene?? You don't drink energy/sports drinks like RedBull do you?? Or just loads of coffee or Coca Cola, Pepsi etc?? Cuz too many of them can cause your heart to race really fast. That'd be one of the more obvious and easily sorted things. Medically it could be loads of things but only your doctor can find out what for you.
ReplyDeleteWhen you say "nothing worked to slow it down", what they normally do, if it's caused by a heart problem, is put you to sleep then they stop your heart and restart it again to get it beating at a normal speed. Not sure if they tried that with you?!? If not, they're possibly thinking it isn't your heart that's at fault. What tests did they do? If you had an ECG, an echo and a chest X ray and they all came back normal that's taken as pretty conclusive proof that your heart is healthy. If they weren't normal they'd be sending you to see a cardiologist at one of the Kids' Heart Units somewhere like GOSH (my heart hospital!), the Royal Brompton, Alder Hey, Birmingham Kids Hospital, Bristol Kids Hospital etc.
