What Causes Increased Heart Beats While Using Beta Blocker?
My son is 7 years old, on a Beta Blocker, his heart rate goes up over 220 beats per minute at times, was recorded on a Holter Monitor at rest. The last week hes been getting VERY hot and red in the face! Ive taken his fever and nothing. After he finally gets to sleep he wakes up often through the night. Like I said, he s 7, 95lbs and not sure about his height. Thanks
hello i read your question and understand your concern first of all i would like to tell that Beta Blockers are used to control heart rate and rhythm, so your child increase heart rate is not because of beta blocker i would also like to ask that * why your child is on beta blocker? * have you ever done his TFTs ? * how is his overall health i would suggest to take him to his pediatrician and also ask for one ECG and discuss all with him i hope my answer will satisfy you good luck & tc
