Heart Problems

Thank you guys for sharing your experiences. I have had the fast pulse for about 6-9 months. My thyroid numbers are great... (right were they are suppose to be in a healthy person) just an enlarged thyroid. Hashimoto's disease is what they have called it-- has to do with my immune system.

I am suppose to have the ultrasound after the first of the year. I have just been trying to reduce my stress and try to relax. Easier said that done... with possible sinus surgery in the future, IV drugs and so much more.

Will post findings in my blog when I find something out. At this point all we know it is tachycardia... still waiting for them to check my oxgyen levels when I am active.

I am being tested for fast pulse. The last two clinic appointments they have found my heart racing. I had an EKG and they only confirmed my racing heart. They want to do an ultrasound of my heart now.



Anyone else with CF have a heart problem/condition?? If so what caused it (if I may ask)??</end quote></div>

Albuterol increases my heartrate. I will keep you in my thoughts & prayers.
