High Pulse Rate, Dizziness, Sickness In Stomach, History Of Tachycardia, Sleeplessness. What Can Be Done?

yes I was wondering if the pulse rate of 120 is something to worry about? I have felt bad all day today very dizy sick to my stomach. My left arm and leg fell asleep for about 2 hours and I couldn't catch my breath. I couldn't leave the house because I'm taking care of my 88 year old mom who broke her hip and just got out of rehab a week ago. It's just her and I and its 24 hours a day on with her. I'm using a baby monitor but not getting a whole lot of sleep. I have a history tecacardia but I thought I was ok!

Hi,
Having this much high pulse rate requires evaluation.
This may be due to anxiety as well.
But any cardiac ailment should be ruled out.
Consult your physician and get examined.
Ok and take care.

Hello
Welcome to HCM

Bad feeling, increased pulse rate or palpitations, dizziness etc may occur due to a lot of reasons. First thing is to rule out any cardiac problem. Get your ECG done and visit a Physician for advise. Most likely the reports will come normal. Other thing is anxiety. Anxiety is associated with such symptoms. Try relaxation methods for symptomatic relief. Visit a Psychiatrist if no improvement is seen with relaxation methods.

Thanks
