Suggest Treatment For Increased Pulse Rate

Hello- I was laying down when suddenly my heart started racing to the point where I was uncomfortable. I checked my pulse which was 121bpm. I realize that this is not too far outside the realm of normal; however I was wondering if I should get an appointment with my doctor just in case. I am a 21 year old female, slightly overweight with a history of anxiety and bi polar.
I have not had any major medical changes in the last 6 months.

Hello,

I think it is nothing to worry about, but if it continues you should consider taking low doses of beta blockers after visiting your doctor.


Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
