Last night at about midnight after hours
of drinking bourbon and smoking tobacco i
went out to have one last smoke b4 bed and
my heart rate sped up to 130 a minute (
resting ) I couldnt sleep because i could
feel my chest pounding which is very
irritable so i went to the hospital at
about midnight. It wasnt the alchohol or
tobacco that causes it in the first place
but i belive it induced it to happen. I
was taken to the hospital and my ESG or
whatever that machine is called that does
print outs on the electricity output on
your heart or whatevr was fine but my
heart rate was just way to high. So im
currently on medication to lower it when
it happens but i can still at the moment
feel something werid in my chest.
im going for blood tests tomorrow for
these things ( dont know what they mean
but u guys might )
You high heart rate (tachicardia) was
confirmed by the ECG. Doctor ordered these
laboratory tests to estimate your general
health condition and to find out if there
is some reason outside the heart that
causes tachicardia in your case.
Blood glucose level is the major indicator
for diagnosing diabetes or hypoglycemia.
Thyroid stimulant hormone (TSH) and
thyroxine (T4) are used to evaluate the
function of the thyroid gland. Many
thyroid disorders can have impact on heart
rate.
Complete blood count (CBC) can give us
information if you have some infection or
anemia or can give us directions for
further examinations.
Ferritin is blood marker used to estimate
the iron reserves in the body. Low
ferritin is indicator for iron deficit
anemia than can also cause tachicardia.
