I am a 43 year old type 1 Diabetic, I am
not over weight. about 4 years ago I was
at the dr and he heard a heart murma so he
sent me to get a echo they said I had
aortic stenosis well a few months ago I
stated getting a little short of breath I
have no energry and I notice when I first
get up in the morning my heart rate is
anywhere from 110 to 135, same if I just
vaccume my house my heart rate will go 125
to 135 and I will need to rest than my
heart rate will be like 115 so i go back
to the dr he send me for another echo and
he calls me up and says he don't
understand but my test came back normal,
so my question is is my heart rate normal
or what. I have no insurance so i can't
get another echo done any help will help
me thanks
Heart rate when resting should be in the
range 60-80 beats per minute. It normally
rises during the physical work. You are
probably experiencing some kind of
tachycardia but only ECG-test can say
which type. 24 hours "holter"-monitoring
can be also requested.
Can you tell me what your ECG-report says?
Echo is used to evaluate heart's structure
(walls, cavities, valves, blood-dynamic
etc.) and to find the source of that
murmur.
Can you appeal to some cardiologist if
your doctor doesn't understand?

I have only 2 echo one that said something
was wrong and the last one that said it
was normal, I am going back to my family
Dr to ask him why if my heart is normal I
feel the way I feel. Thank you for your
help
You can request ECG to determine the type
of tachycardia. After that you can check
the thyroid function because
hyperthyroidism can cause tachycardia.
You can also consult your family doctor.

Ive had almost the same thing but my heart
is usually about 130-180 at resting and my
doc told me (after ekg, ultrasound, blood
test and holter moniter) that it was some
kind of tachycardia.
