Should I Be Worried About Rapid Heart Beat Problem?
I am being bothered with a rapid heart beat( does not get out of rhythm) although I do have that problem.I take Flecainide 100mg daily and Warrafin .5mg once daily.mMy question is why am I bothered with a rapid heart about a week at a time.Then it will subside for about that long.Then it reoccurs time after time.my cardiologist did several tests and cannot find anything to do with my heart

Dear sir
Yes indeed you should be worried about rapid heart beat problem because increased heart rate causes decreased coronary circulation to the heart causing increase in the risk for heart attacks.
Secondly maintain heart rate between 60 to 80 beats per minute so that your heart will function at maximum efficiency.
Thirdly selecting a cardioselective betablockers will improve.
thanks
