Freaked Posted March 6, 2014 Report Share Posted March 6, 2014 I had a very scary day. My heart rate went to 180 or so with jaw pain. I thought I was going to die. The rate was 130-150 for hours as well; it would not come down. So they did a troponin test at hospital after 6 hours and my result was 7 (normal was listed as 3-14; I figure this was troponin I). But I thought it was really meant to be undetectable (pretty sure it has been all times before). I'm sitting here at home now trying not to freak out. Anyone else had this sort of troponin result? Can severe tachycardia do it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gjensen Posted March 6, 2014 Report Share Posted March 6, 2014 The sustained tachycardia could have raised the level some. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
