What can I do about my heart rate being so high?
I had aortic valve replacement at the end of Jan. this year, tissue. Also the tricuspid valve was repaired and a bypass. My pulse is still 130. I thought my pulse would go down sooner but it is still crazy high. I am on warfarin and plavix. I am 61 and used to be very active. Never had other health issues. Allergic to metropol, and have low blood pressure. 98/60 usually. I have had Echos and EKG and x-rays. Doctors all think everything is good, but they don't seem to know what to do about this heart rate. Will it eventually slow down? 2 1/2 months now. How long can it go at this rate without problems?
