I'm dealing with Rheumatoid Arthritis and I'm on methotrexate. Recently, I've been experiencing heart palpitations, like up to 12 times a minute, mostly in the evening, but now it's happening more often. My heart rate's been an average of 107, but right now it's at 91 bpm. I've got an appointment on Wednesday at the heart hospital to get things checked out. But I'm really curious about when this stuff would be considered an emergency. It's making me feel pretty uncomfortable. Any advice?
It is important to monitor your symptoms closely. If you experience severe chest pain, shortness of breath, fainting, or dizziness along with the heart palpitations, it could be a sign of a more serious issue and would be considered an emergency. Since you are already scheduled for an appointment at the heart hospital on Wednesday, it is best to discuss your symptoms with the healthcare provider there. They will be able to evaluate your condition and provide appropriate guidance.

I've been experiencing this breathlessness, and every time I check my pulse, it feels like there's a mild heartbeat with a skipped beat. Should I be worried about this?
Sometimes feeling breathless and experiencing palpitations can be concerning. It's important to get evaluated by a healthcare provider to determine the underlying cause. In the meantime, you can try using a beta-blocker like Metoprolol (25-50mg) to help with the palpitations and reduce the sensation of skipped beats. However, it's crucial to get a proper diagnosis and treatment plan from a healthcare professional.
