Has anyone else experienced inappropriate sinus tachycardia related to their nr-axSpA flare-up?

It's understandable that you're connecting your tachycardia to your nr-axSpA flare, especially since the timing lines up so closely. While the search results don't specifically mention inappropriate sinus tachycardia, they do note that nr-axSpA can be associated with heart disease as a complication, particularly if the disease progresses.

The inflammatory nature of nr-axSpA can affect various body systems beyond just the spine and joints. Since inflammation is at the core of nr-axSpA, it's possible that systemic inflammation during a flare could impact cardiovascular function, though this would be something to discuss thoroughly with both your rheumatologist and cardiologist.

It's important to keep both specialists informed about all your symptoms. Sharing information between your cardiology and rheumatology teams can help them understand the full picture and determine if there's a connection between your heart symptoms and inflammatory disease activity.

If your nr-axSpA isn't well-controlled, discussing treatment options with your rheumatologist might be worthwhile. Better disease control could potentially help with systemic inflammation that might be contributing to other symptoms.
