I'm really worried because my blood pressure isn't going back to normal even after taking my medication. It's been pretty stress-inducing, and I'm not sure which specialist I should see about it. Do you think a specific type of doctor would be better suited for treating this kind of issue?

I'm dealing with a pretty fast heartbeat most of the time, usually between 100 to 115 beats per minute, and I often feel weak. My oxygen levels are fine, staying between 98 to 100, but I've had anemia since birth due to hereditary spherocytosis. Could you give me some advice on managing this high pulse rate?
High pulse rate can be concerning, especially if you have a history of anemia and hereditary spherocytosis. In your case, it is important to address the underlying cause of your high pulse rate. Since your SpO2 levels are normal, the high pulse rate may be due to other factors such as anemia or hereditary spherocytosis. To help lower your pulse rate, you can try taking a beta-blocker medication such as Metoprolol. The usual dosage for Metoprolol is 25-100mg once or twice daily, as prescribed by your doctor. This medication can help slow down your heart rate and reduce the symptoms of weakness that you are experiencing. It is important to consult with your doctor before starting any new medication, as they can provide personalized advice based on your medical history and current condition.
