Heart Skipping Beats

[Cuchculan]

Yesterday was just fine. Now here we are today. When tomorrow comes we shall think about tomorrow. Lesson number 1. Just deal with the moment you are in. Forget the day that has just passed you by. Forget tomorrow. You can sail away with Enya. Really is all about what you can do at night. Not exactly the greatest time to be looking for distractions. Worse when you are married. i am single and have nobody else to think about at night, so can have my radio on. Negative thoughts about feeling bad tomorrow. leave tomorrow until tomorrow arrives.

My fees are not that bad.

Wow, soy products? Like what?

Mostly soy mill but I stay away from tofu too just to be safe. My heart dr said to just stay away from soy altogether.

I was stressed and anxious all day long. Didn't get a phonecall. Totally was able to relax when 5 rolled around. 3 days no skipped beats then BOOM! During the bath they started up again. What the heck? Anyone have any ideas that go through this? Is it possible to have stress and anxiety all day and not get the palps only to get them when you have finally calmed down?

Or you experience palpitations but don't always notice them. Either way, if the doctor hasn't called yet it must not be anything terribly concerning. I know that doesn't exactly make you feel better, but it may provide at least some relief.

Trust me, I know how troubling these things can be. I've been through more than my fair share of them. I'd be lying if I said they never bother me anymore, but they definitely aren't a primary source of anxiety for me anymore. I've tried my best to not let them bother me. Takes time, but worth it.

Low blood sugar can cause this. Maybe you need to find yourself some healthy snacks to have throughout the day and see how that works out for you.

I find that my hormones impact the skipped beats as well.

I would usually get mine worse at night and worse while laying on my left side. Nights were ALWAYS the worst right as I was totally relaxed

Today has been a good day. I have been controlling them which gives me hope. Doesn't help that this newest doctor wants to scope me to make sure I'm not bleeding internally. I mean, honestly, talk about an HA'rs worst nightmare! But breathing through when they start. Talking myself down. Not letting my fight or flight reaction go beyond 30 seconds has really actually helped!!! Gave me hope that this is just out of control anxiety and my medication is actually starting to do it's job!

Update. So far. Went to the Scope doc. He examined me. Asked me questions. Went over my blood work. Told me I was low risk. Didn't need a scope but could still get one if I wanted. Told me my bloodwork was good. Hemoglobin was normal. He said something was a little low but can't remember what it was. I told him about having heavy periods and he referred me to a gyno. I have been implementing iron into my diet. The skips went down and now I am at four days with one or two here or there. I ignore them. Haven't went to the gyno yet. Waiting to see if insurance goes through. Anxiety? Still here. Not half as bad.

You have made progress. That is the plus side to everything. All the thoughts you had of what might have been wrong with you turned out just to be thoughts. As the doctor thinks you are in good shape. So that is even more progress. We take these things day by day. One step at a time. The anxiety is there to be worked on. But even that seems manageable.

 

[ThankfulJen]

It sure has helped having a few friends and family for support. And lot's of prayer. I feel very blessed to know good people!!

To put your mind at ease listen to Dr. Sanjay Gupta on YouTube about "missed beats". He put my mind at ease pretty well. He's a very respected cardiologist.Your heart will never stop beating from this it is a strong heart! If you were to have a fun then they would know right after the EKG. Skipped beats in the cardiology in community are usual normal and benign harmless. But don't take my advice, see your doc If it keeps bugging you.

Dr Gupta definitely has a lot of awesome material available freely on YouTube. He's obviously no replacement for seeing your own cardiologist, but especially for those of us who have been cleared by one and still question it, watching Dr Gupta's videos can really help.

Yeah, I watched him and he really is good. But a few comments triggered me so I stopped lol
