Hi everyone,

Does anyone here have a racing heartbeat but normal blood pressure. Everytime I go to the doctor my heart rate is high, and I really don't know why. I'm seeing my doctor next week so I will bring it up to him.

Any help would be great!

Many people with lyme have tachycardia (racing heartbeat). I've had tachycardia chronically since I was around 12 years old. Have to take a beta blocker now just to slow it down...

Blame Lyme & Co .. or esp babesia. Been tested for that one?

Also research POTS. See if that is a possibility for you.

How high is high? Over 100 is considered to be tachycardia.

Yes, but mine got better after 2 yrs of abx. My teenager suffers from this right now. Sitting down doing nothing and her heart rate goes up to 160.
Her cardiologist suggested that she is having anxiety attacks... *insert eye rolling emoticon here*

I have the same thing. Normal BP and racing pulse. I'm hoping to find out more information this week at my appt.

If I find anything out, I'll let you know.
