Re: Irregular Rapid Heart Beat

I had heart palpatations before I found out I had Endo. After a trip to
the emergency room because my heart rate was sitting around and
sometimes over 150, I found out I had hyperthyroidism and Mytril Vavle
Prolapse (not sure if I spelled all that right). Keep a check on your
heart rate if it does this for an extended period of time because the ER
told me that having that as a resting heart rate I was in stroke range.
Of course that scared me to no end but if it keeps up I would definately
find a way to have it checked out. Hope it goes better for you.
