bren22 Posted December 29, 2008 Report Share Posted December 29, 2008 I was wondering if anyone noticed what triggers their tachycardia. I have been noticing that I wake up in the night with it. Obviously not related to getting up, etc. I also find that if I overdo it, activity wise, the next day I am very tachy. This morning I was running 120 at 7am while getting some morning tea. I feel like I am vibrating and then can't get enough air. Any tricks on bring the heart rate down? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firewatcher Posted December 29, 2008 Report Share Posted December 29, 2008 Hi and welcome!If you are not on meds for it, you can sit or squat. The doc that I saw at Vanderbilt suggested that I quickly drink 16 oz. of anything not carbonated. If I don't take my Inderal, my HR is usually 126 to stir my morning coffee...welcome to the club!Go to the homepage of this site and then to "what helps" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iheartcats Posted December 29, 2008 Report Share Posted December 29, 2008 Sounds like a normal morning for me. Just getting ready waiting for Midodrine to kick in/getting hydrated. It usually calms a bit (90-105) in car, flares up walking to work, and I just am learning to deal. The more dehydrated I am in the AM, the worse it is.

shadesofgrey49 Posted December 29, 2008 Report Share Posted December 29, 2008 Ugh. Silly mornings.What is it about sleeping? Why is it so difficult to start a new day? Does anyone else here experience daily nausea in the morning and need several hours to be able to get their stomach to behave? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheba Posted December 31, 2008 Report Share Posted December 31, 2008 I think because our heart is so relaxed when we sleep and the blood flow is at a certain rate, any shift or movement will cause it to become irregular. I get this but my heart rate is low before sleeping. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lizzegrl Posted January 11, 2009 Report Share Posted January 11, 2009 I have found that lifting things sets off tachy episodes. I cant' lift my nephew any longer, now that he weights more than 25 lbs. I talked to Dr. Grubb and he said that it was very likely that lifting could do it. I try not to lift anything heavier than my purse now, so that i don't set off an episode. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
valliali Posted January 12, 2009 Report Share Posted January 12, 2009 also, if your tea is caffeinated, that definitely won't help your tachy!!! i used to drink green tea everyday, until i realized it was the cause of my daily runs of psvt, which were the symptom i HATED the most. fortunately now i am on beta blockers, but even without it, cutting out the caffeine alone really calmed down the heart.
