Fast heart beat
My mother has Bp and sugar and little high cholesterol, suddenly yesterday she was feeling her heart was beating fast and i checked her pulse rate continuously it was between 100-115 throughout the day, today it is normal throughout the day. I went to a doctor he suggested ECG and some blood test for cholesterol and sugar. Cholesterol is little bit increased and rest all are normal. So is ECG enough to detect heart problem. Doctor is saying all things are normal but he is not able to tell the reason behind fast heart rate, Now a days heart attack cases has been increased. I'm very tense about it, that it might related to heart blockage or something??

For Fast heart rate daily monitor pulse and bp morning and evening for 2 weeks, If pulse is daily above 100 see a cardiologist
For heart attack screening get a Echocardiogram and treadmill test
