Welcome to the forum and I've read your posting and complaint.

Endometrial hyperplasia is actually quite common and results from estrogen production in the absence of progesterone production, or sometimes simply an imbalance in this context. Progesterone expression is necessary for the uterine lining to shed and in the absence of doing so, causes a thickening of the endometrium.

It's important when making inquiry to specifically state the type of birth control you have been prescribed, since I am unable to discern enough information from taking the "pill." Regardless, initial therapy of this type can induce physiological manifestations, on occasion inappropriate sinus tachycardia. I will share with you, however, that a rate of 117 is extremely mild and rates well above 160 have been observed with no harmful effects and frankly, the act of exercise can regularly induce heart rates in this range and higher with no risks.

Indeed, anxiety and panic disorder can cause sinus tachycardia of the type described and measures to control this factor most often results in a corresponding reduction in physical symptoms as well. If any gastrointestinal disturbances are present, then this also constitutes a potential causal factor.

At 31 years of age, the absolute last concern you should have is the possible presence of heart disease or anomaly in that regard. This is not a sign of heart trouble whatsoever, so you can take a breath and relax.

I see nothing of your description that would suggest anything serious to be wrong with you at all. You need to relax and work with your primary care physician or specialist until measures are found that provide relief and again, realize that tachycardia of the type you are experiencing is not life-threatening in any context. You'll be just fine.

Endometrial hyperplasia is treatable by using specific forms of progesterone to which the patient responds best. Unless significant scarring of the uterine walls has occurred or another condition is present, then EH alone would not place you at risk of infertility.

In the same breath, however, I will share with you that I'm a retired neurologist and when it comes to issues relating to pregnancy, such information lies beyond the traditional scope of this forum and I'm drawing upon some rather dated general medicine training where such topics are of concern. Such specific questions are best directed to your gynecologist.

Well, let's just take it for granted that your physician knows more medicine that the patient, if you see my point. Diagnostic testing is guided purely by evidence-based need and not to comfort the irrational fears of the patient. I merely point this out because you seem to characterize your physician's reluctance as stubborn resistance.

Pheochromocytomas present with very clinically specific and characteristic symptoms, the nature of which cannot simply be drawn from finding similarity in searching online information as though it were word association. Realize that the sheer complexity of human medicine causes persons to be forced to survey available information and do so as though it represents all that actually exists with respect to facts relevant to a search.

Whenever you encounter yourself making this type of error, you must employ a factual and logical barrier from acting upon what you've discovered by awareness to the fact that the ability to accurately practice clinical medicine requires more than a decade of specific secondary education and practical residency under the guidance of seasoned physicians before attaining the accuracy in diagnosing symptoms of human illness and disease. Surely, this inescapable fact cannot somehow be supplanted by merely searching the internet and looking for features which are described similarly. It is the unwitting attempt to find an answer using an irrational and illogical approach.

Your symptoms are limited in nature and pose no actual risk to your heart or health and while troubling, you must continue to work closely with your doctor to obtain suitable treatment options. You're going to be just fine and you're in no danger. Selective beta-blockers were not established for the mere purpose of attenuating sinus rate, but rather cardiac force, or the work necessary by the heart to perform its function. It is no surprise that the drug does not have the intended effect.

Hi

I had my appointment with the cardiologist today echo was fine although my ecg still shower slight tachycardia even though im on 80mg of beta blockers the cardiologist is testing me for an adrenal tumor but does not want to see me again, he also suggested in his opinion that i didn't need to be on beta blockers and that some peoples heart rate is just faster but other than that my heart is fine, he even said he would do a ct scan to check my arteries if I wanted him too but I told him I trust him and if he says my heart is fine then thats good enough for me. So now i just have to do the 24hr urine test which I am really scared about my blood pressure was high in the hospital too, but after that basically there are no more tests for me to have so I guess the tachycardia is something im going to have to live with and except as anxiety and learn to deal with that issue instead if nothing medically can be found.

Just wondering what your thought are ? after this I will not be posting only to reread your posts to reassure myself if I wobble but other than that I am going to try and get on with life and ignore my heart.

Many Thanks Again I await your response
