pulse rate jumps from mid 80s to 200+?
November 18th, 2011
I am 28 years old 6′2", 190lbs non smoker very low drinker. For around 2 weeks now I have been experiencing dizziness and fainting. At random points, not linked to exercise or stress, my field of vision closes in and I feel dizzy and faint, and have lost consciousness briefly twice. I have been referred for a 24hr ECG trace but have to wait 7weeks. In the mean time I have been wearing a heart rate monitor (the type you use in the gym) which shows that when an episode occurs my pulse jumps from the mid 80’s to over 200.
Can anyone suggest a likely cause/course of action?
