Guest guest Posted November 29, 2002 Report Share Posted November 29, 2002 Hi everyone, I hope each of you had a blessed Thanksgiving and for our other friends, I hope your week was blessed also. I am wondering if anyone has had a problem with your pulse racing??? I have been having some problems with light-headiness for about 3 weeks now. Earlier this week, my husband was taking his blood pressure so we also checked mine. My bp was fine, but my pulse rate was high - 120 the first time. I kept rechecking it and my pulse never went below 100. I saw a doctor on Wednesday and they put me through a bunch of tests - ekg, thyroid, sugar level, hemoglobin, plus some others. Everything came back normal. Today I had an appointment with another doctor since I haven't been able to get in to see my regular dr. He did an x-ray of my heart which was also fine. Right now I am on meclizine for the light-headiness. I have a follow up appointment on Dec. 11. I have also left a message with my ra doctor, describing the problem and asking if the plaquenil or vioxx could be causing the problem. Anyone else experience this before?? in Minnesota linda@... -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
