Heart Rate Of 201 After Only A Few Steps
We did a heart rate lab in biology today where we monitored our own heart rate. The results shocked me. I have been on a lot of steroid based meds for my asthma lately, and my resting heart rate was about 80, and after only taking a few steps(like 4 or 5) it jumped to 200 in like a second. I can feel that I have an irregular heart beat/palpitations and I feel nauseous and dizzy all the time. I knew the medicine was messing with my heart, but how serious is this? Should I go to my doctor?
P.S. My resting heart rate just a few months ago was 50-60.

The couse is steroids.
they are dangerous drugs, and when used inappropriately, they can cause a host of severe, long-lasting, and often irreversible negative health consequences. These drugs can stunt the height of growing adolescents, masculinize women, and alter sex characteristics of men. Anabolic steroids can lead to premature heart attacks, strokes, liver tumors, kidney failure and serious psychiatric problems.you should stop the steroids
