Hi,I am Dr. Prabhakar Koregol (Cardiologist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Irregular Heart Beat, Nausea, Pain In The Chest, Low Body Fast Percentage. Cause?
My average heart bpm is 108 I m 17 5 1 and 120lbs why does my heart race at this pace while resting. I have been told that I have an irregular heart beat and that it beats faster than usual but I m feeling nauseated and pain in my chest not heavy pain though? Is there any answer for this? I also have low body fat percentage .
Resting tachycardia is not normal in the abscence of an explanation; with a low body fat, a hyperactive thyroid needs to be ruled out; other causes such as infection, dehydration, fever, pain need to be considered. You need an EKG to see what the underlying rhythm of the heart is.
Truly yours,
