Should I Meet A Doctor For Faster Heart Beat?
My heart rate is usually a little rapid, however, for 3 days it has been at 140bpm. I was diagnosed with anemia 3 months ago. Im no longer taking iron the Dr. felt I was recovering. I was also diagnosed with graves disease 13 years ago and I tale levothyroxine daily. I feel as if my chest is going to beat out of my chest. Should I call my Dr. should I go to the E.R.?

Yes, you must go to Dr. & get ur ECG done. To correct if any arrythmias are there .& After correction of this acute phase treatmnt, get ur thyroid function test done, probably ur dose of levothyroxine needs correction.
