This is not the first time I have heard from my primary that it was abnormal, just the first time my reg dr told me the abnormality was consistent and thus nothing to be concerned about. So I don’t know. I can’t get my cardiologist appt moved up. So I guess it’s just a waiting game. My blood pressure is apparently high, according to the school nurse, which again, I don’t understand because when I went in for the sinus infection two weeks ago it was normal. I wonder if all the Sudafed I took drove my bp up? I know you’re not supposed to take it if you already have high bp. But I haven’t had any in a week. I don’t know. I’m not a doctor so I can only speculate. I do already have an appt with my pcp scheduled for Thursday from a couple of months ago so I’ll talk to him then. Hopefully he can guide me.


EKG’s can change, I’d had this happen to me before. You are right that Sudafed will increase blood pressure but once you stop taking it , you should go back to your normal.

I have a high heart rate and my mom died from an arrhythmia, it is heredity one of her sisters and a brother have it.

I have had to do the holter monitor for 48 hours so many times..I’m pretty much just waiting to see if I’ll wind up with same arrhythmia

Be careful getting up and down syncope could be part of your problem

Sucks you have to wait too long to see a cardiologist

Take care of your self
