Re: Saw your message below. My heart problem is called Sinus Tachycardia. I have a very rapid heartbeat in the sinus cavity of the heart. It was very scary, but I had pills to help keep it beating even. It didn't cure it, but does cover it up so I wouldn't be scared feeling it. Mine is constant, not occasional. Don't take the pills anymore, my heart got better as I aged. It was worse in my 20's. I know how terrifying it is to feel that. Wish good luck, Hope they both make out ok. -- The Cat's Meow

I am a 22 year old female who was diagnosed with this condition also. My doctor put me on Atenolol 25mg (half a pill once a day). My heart wasn't beating fast all the time, just every now and then thoughout the day. I agree that this is a very scary thing to go thru especially at my age-I feel I am too young to have something like this. Is there anyone who has taken this medication at the dosage I am taking it? And if so, has it helped you? Also, if anyone has any suggestions on how to deal with this condition or treat it, I'd greatly appreciate it. I am trying to educate myself as much as possible on this condition.
