Hi KatyJoy, sorry to hear you are in hospital. My heart rate sat to high after I finished chemo around 120. I saw a cardiologist and had tests done. My heart was fine but beating to fast side effect of chemo. He said it may return to normal but a year on he hasn't. I am on medication and I wear a fitbit that tracks my heart rate. It now rests at approximately 80 with the medication.
I hope it gets sorted for you quickly.
