Fast pulse rate

Posted , 3 users are following.

She had a sickness bug recently and it was picked up her pulse was 130. It was checked after sickness and was 112, then a week later and was 98, so the nurse has referred her to the doctor.

We do have heard disease in the family, both sides. Might not be linked but she regularly complains of being cold and more recently tired. We had wondered if the tiredness was due to becoming vegetarian approx 15 months ago and lack of iron/B12. We know she has very fine veins as they've had problems getting the needle in to anesthetise her for operations - the surgeon has actually taken over from the anaeshetist.

She's 17, slim and has a very healthy diet (other than being vegetarian). She plays squash 3xweek and walks approx 80mins a day, so I guess is fairly fit.

Any thoughts please.

    Hi,

    Does she have any symptoms? If so what symptoms does she have? Maybe look into Pots.
