RA and Atrial Flutter

A myRAteam Member asked a question 💭
Vernon, BC

I seem to be having more tachycardia issues lately. I ended up in ER last night with a possible diagnosis of Atrial Flutter. I had Tachycardia for about an hour. I am wondering if anyone else has this kind of issue with their RA?

I did find an article that related to this question. It isn’t always related to RA, but it can be that inflammation can cause the hearts electrical circuits to go haywire. I have had this since my 50’s which is also when the obvious RA joint problems first showed up.

I have had alot of problems with tachycardia and for some reason only now, have I really "thought" that it could be related to my RA...
Wow!

Thank you all for answering. I had a ekg follow up and now waiting for a Holter monitor ( again). And of course Tachycardia never occurs when I am wearing the darn thing.
