What Could Be The Cause Of Profuse Sweating With Rapid Heart Rate?
My husband was taken into hospital sweating, grey pallor and with a heart rate of 254 - this they eventually got down over several hours and on medication is staying at approx 125-130 but this does fluctuate. He has had an eco scan and is awating results. They may operate but I am not sure what this all entails

Hi Mam,
I understand your query and concern.
Increased heart rate with hypotension is suggestive of Ventricular tachyarrthymias.
ECG and 2D Echo of heart will confirm the diagnosis.
Once stabilized he may need Electro physiological study.
Drugs like Amiodarone drip will be helpful for maintenance.
Consult cardiologist for expert management.
Post your further queries if any,
Thank you.
