Q: My husband’s BP is mostly in the normal range, once in a while a little low, but his pulse is racing over 100 most of the time, regardless if sitting or laying down. He just completed 6 weeks of radiation to the esophagus. Should we be concerned?
A: It is possible this is related to the recent radiation treatment that your husband received. Make sure he discusses his heart rate with his doctor. It is always smart to notify your doctor of any change when you are being treated for a serious illness.
