Heart rate is irregular

[williammartin]

my heart rate is really up and down ranging from 43 to 174 i have had 3 small heart attacks in the last year or so and i have been put onto higher dose of bisoprolol and it seemed to have stopped the irregular rate from happening so much but it is coming back now and then and for quite a while today for no reason just average day a work and tonight whilst sitting on the sofa its hitting 124 then down to 42 should i call doctors or am i worrying for nothing and just take it easy any advice would be welcomed

I’m no doctor but they always say don’t leave things best to get it checked

I had this and my doctor said it was what they call a variable heart rate. I was monitoring it and it would be 45 and within a few seconds it would be 140 all day and it really concerned me. Mine was down to my body fighting off a bacterial infection and my GP said for this variable heart rate there is always a reason he said it can be an arrhythmia playing up or it can be a viral or bacterial infection he said even lack of sleep can be a trigger . I am also on Bisoprolol and I thought it would have prevented it happening but I guess it doesn't. I would always visit the GP if it's not calming down, they gave me ECG form but mine went after I got a good nights sleep woke up

With my good old Bisoprolol bradycardia 😂.

Hi William

My heart rate jumps all over like yours and three heart attacks ten years ago.

I'm still alive. I tell my doctor that I notice at the gym machines that my heart jumps for no apparent reason, and she just shrugs

Take care
