Why won't my heart rate go back down?

Question

I am 25 years old and I had several pulmonary embolisms right after I had a C-section with my second child. I sat in the waiting room in the ER for hours and my heart was swelling the entire time. It has been almost 9 months since then and my heart rate still will not drop below 110 even resting and it feels like someone is squeezing my heart when I take any deep breath. I have asked my doctor several times but he never really gives me an answer. I guess if he doesn't consider it a problem maybe it isn't

Answer 1

Eat less animal fat like meat, eggs, cheese & ice cream.

Answer 2

Go to another doctor as soon as you can! My boyfriend was 25 when his heart rate would not go down(but his was 130 and higher)! He had a virus attack his heart after he had had his wisdom teeth removed.  He eventually had a heart pump put in then about year later a heart transplant! He waited so long to see another doctor.  I not sure if it would have helped but not knowing is worse.  Please see a different doctor soon!  

Answer 3

You need to tell (not ask) your doctor to refer you to a Cardiologist.
