Heart rate
Posted , 5 users are following.
Hi'
I was in the hospital the other day with afib and had the electric shock done, which didn't help . I think I'm back in sinus rhythm but for some reason when I get up to walk around, my heart rate jumps up in 130's then back down to normal . I'm not sure what's causing this to happen . Has anyone experienced this before ? At times it goes down as low as in the 40's as well .

I don't have one yet . I have my first appointment on June 7th . I will be asking this same question for sure. But I was just curious if anyone else experienced the same increase in heart rate .

Can you tell us your age and relative medical history. It's relevant because age does come into it. Sick sinus syndrome is usually in older people. Have you been diagnosed with conduction problems? Are you over 65? Male/Female?

I have never had an abnormal ECG.

Maybe. But to be sure, can you wait 'til Tuesday to ask your cardiologist? Maybe s/he doesn't even know. Make sure it's a good source, like WebMD.

I didnt Google Sick Sinus, I know it of it anyway, as it was a part of a module in biomedical science. You may or may not have it, its just a waiting game.
