Title: High Heart Rate
Post by: whiterose on June 01, 2023, 09:16:42 AM

Hi,
I hope everyone is doing good.
I'm Beta thalassemia, on regular blood transfusion. Mother of 6yr child. Working professional. moderate activity level, Tired. Gallbladder removed.

I have been feeling very high palpitations. Heart rate is always above 90. Sometimes it crosses 120-130 range.
Is it a bad thing, i mean i dont know the reasons of this.  Requesting some suggestions. 

All thals friends have these issues ? What's your heart rate during normal times & pre-post transfusion ?

Thanks

Hi!
I’ve only had heart issues when I’ve been very stressed or with very very low Hb. I’m 40 and I had to take care of my parents in the past. It was really exhausting and my heart rate went higher on that time but it came back to my normality once everything went back to calm.
However, talk to your doctor. I don’t think it’s due to thal if you don’t have extremely low Hb.
