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.
im a 26 year old female i am 5' 7" and weigh about 175 when i stand up i feel very dizzy and like i could pass out so i set down for about 10 mins and then took my pulse rate and it was 139 bpm. i had an emergency c section about a year ago and had several complications and wound up with a blood transfusion should i be concerned about this and go to the dr or what do you think.
Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic. I can understand your concern. Heart rate of 139 even after 10 minutes of sitting is considered as very high. So better to rule out arrhythmia (rhythm disturbances in heart) first. Arrhythmia can cause decrease in blood supply of brain and this can cause dizziness. So get done ecg, 2d echo and Holter monitoring (24 hours continuous recording of ecg). On the basis of these reports, you will need anti arrhythmia drug. Don't worry, you will be alright. Better to first diagnose yourself and then start appropriate treatment. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
