Get a second opinion from a new cardiologist
Please please tell me if you found out anything about this condition. It is with me eery night for a month. I sleep sitting in a chair with a sleep aid. I cannot sleep either way now, but lying down is impossible. I need help! Thanks

thank you for response and no i am not happy with either of the doctors but it is so hard trying to explain things to them and then trying to convince my my GP i want to see another Cardiologist...tired of explaining myself only to getting no answer. But yes i need to see someone else...very frustrating Thank you....

It seems like you are not happy with your GP or your current Cardiologist. Have you considered looking for another Cardiologist? There's only so much help you can get on a forum but you will never know for sure what your diagnosis is until you can speak to a specialist. 109-112 is not bad actually but the fact that it raises when you're awake while laying down is odd.
thank you for responding, my heart rate normally is anyways always has been high it ranges from 100 to 105 beats and when i have these episodes it can go as high as 109-112. And yes Coversyl was prescribe to me by a Cardiologist. I told him about my symptoms. He sent me for a CT angiogram scan of my heart.Results reading was.. Left anterior descending LAD courses around the apex.small eccentric calcified plaque, in the proximal segment, just upstream to D1 causing less than 50%, even less then 30% stenosis.There is a couple of other issues that he dismissed as well . My cardiologist said for my age that's not to bad and it's really nothing to worry about. And nothing more has been discussed with him...matter of fact he doesn't want to see me again he said i am fine...but the episodes keep coming and matter of fact more often so i don't know. I even have spoken with my GP and she doesn't even care to listen to me just kind of ignores me So i am not sure what this is or what to do about it...it's really is starting to concern me.

You are on a Coversyl, was it prescribed by a primary care doctor or by a heart specialist (Cardiologist)? If you have not seen a cardiologist, I think it would be a good idea to get in for a check-up.
You didn't mention any numbers, how high is the "fast" rate, over 100 beats per minute?
