What Causes Elevated Heart Beat Post Stent Implant?
YESTERDAY DAY MY HEART RATE AT REST WAS 132 I HAVE HTN AND JUSST AHD A STENT PUT IN 7 MO AGO FROM A RUPTURED ABD ANEYURISM. eVER SINCE THEN MY HEART RATE IS HIGHER AND SOMETIMES IT FEELS LIKE IT IS COMING OUT OF MY CHEST. WHAT SHOULD I DO?
I passed carefully through your question and would explain that your symptoms could be related to tachycardia or possible cardiac arrhythmia.
For this reason, I recommend consulting with your attending physician for a physical exam and some tests:
- a resting ECG and cardiac ultrasound
- complete blood count for anaemia
- thyroid hormone levels for thyroid gland dysfunction
- blood electrolytes for possible imbalance.
An ambulatory 24-48 hours ECG monitoring would help investigate for possible cardiac arrhythmia. A low dose of beta blockers could be needed.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr Ilir Sharka, Cardiologist
