Contractions in heart

Common Questions and Answers about Contractions in heart

contractions

Avatar n tn which one? generally the top number is the babies heartbeat and the bottom one is the strength of the contractions you should see the bottom nuber rise up when your daughter has a contraction! good luck and all the best I hope everything goes wonderfully!
Avatar m tn I would think it's referring to either premature atril beats (PACs) or premature ventricular contractions (PVCs). You would be getting 3 in a row to have a "triplet". Both of these are extremely common arrythmias and can be exacerbated by fatigue and stress.
Avatar n tn Are you sure you understood them correctly? Is it possible your daughter has premature atrial contractions and not atrial fibrillation? I am not a doctor but I have not heard of afib described that way and atrial contractions are not a danger where afib could be due to possible blood clots. Does your daughter have an unusually high heart rate keeping in mind children's heart rates tend to be more elevated than adults.
Avatar n tn My cardiologist suspects that I have premature heart contractions and he is recommending that I take this medicine. An echo and stress test showed no sign of heart disease. At the present I am wearing an event monitor. My symptoms are felt in my throat area and sometimes in my chest. WIthin the last six months my symptoms have increased from one a month to five to ten a month. I attribute the increase in symptoms to my heightened concerned for this condition.
Avatar f tn This has happened to me many times. Because your heart rate is slower during sleep, there is the opportunity for your heart to throw more ectopics which trigger the svt. This is just a guess. It is horrible but I personally would rather have an attack at home. You should discuss this with your doctor. 208 is a very high heart rate.
9728796 tn?1407034682 not have to deal with the dumb hospitals that tell u to go in wen u have your contractions every 5 min apart then tell u to go back wen u can't take them any more & I can't am so tired with a headache I just wanna sleep bt I guess not!
1844410 tn?1322749080 Today I am 5 days overdue. Had my weekly checkup yesterday with no change, still dilated to a 2 & 70%, but not enough to allow for a membrane sweep. Bummer. Because I am now late, the Dr monitored heart rate & contractions for 20 mins during the appt. Baby's heartrate was a little low, so he sent us to l&d to be monitored for 2 hours. Lots of contractions, some only 3 minutes apart, but in the end they tapered off. Heart rate looked good, so they sent us home.
Avatar f tn D just to get checked out and turns out I was in pre labour at 26 weeks.. Regular contractions at around a 50 on the toco scale every couple of minutes. I'm on medication to stop the contractions, they have eased but not stopped, and I've been given a shot to develop bubs lungs. If They manage to stop the contractions ill be on light duties for work and must take medication the rest of my pregnancy.
Avatar n tn Heart failure indicates the heart is not pumping enough blood/oxygen to meet the systems demand. If the heart failure is due to heart muscle damage from a heart attack, muscle disease, etc., the condition may not get any better but can be controlled with medication and reduce any progression. Sometimes, as in my case, five years ago I had ischemiac (lack of blood flow) from occluded vessels and a silent heart attack. The heart cells were stunned and impaired the contractions (EF 13-29%).
Avatar m tn My experience the heart remodeled (dilated type) due to weak contractions (some impairment of heart muscle) and heavy workload (high blood pressure) for the heart to pump against. By reducing the heart's afterload (bp meds, beta blocker, med to increase contractions, etc) there has been a reverse remodeling and my heart size is within the normal range.
Avatar f tn Im waiting to see if the contractions start up again. Also I was concerned because everytime I had a contractions the babies heart rate would decelerate. And she also.diagnosed me with mild pre-clampsyia so my question is why would they allow me to go home. I'm worried about the baby. And about his heartrate. And aabout my blood pressure.
Avatar f tn most women tend to only get sick once in transition but everyone is different and the cramping from contractions can put pressure on your stomach and make you sick. like the other person said she has had it as well.
Avatar m tn I know people who have said that a PVC feels like a pause in their heart beat followed by a lump in their throat and sometimes nausea, a woozy feeling, lightheadedness, or a little bit of chest pressure. Usually docs dont worry about these unless they are happening regularly. Is that were the case, a doc would probably do an EKG and maybe want to monitor a persons heart rhythm for a day or two. Nothing to get to get excited about either way. I hope this helped a bit.
Avatar f tn How far apart are the pains ? And how far along are you?
551604 tn?1333983135 Love your heart, I'm in the same boat, I am on my way in for my NST to monitor Addy during my contractions, as long as the girls are tolerating them, we will just have to stay tuff! They need to stay in at least 3 more weeks! Keep resting, kick them feet up!
Avatar f tn So I ended up in the emergency room last night due to baby nearly giving me a heart attack (not literally) and not moving much all day, hes usually VERY active day in day out. I have been having contractions and they registered on the monitor,all the doc said was "oh". I'll be 28 weeks tomorrow. Could this be pointing to early labor any time soon or earlier than expected? They were about half of the little chart on the paper.
Avatar m tn org/medical-information/show/1579/Cardiomyopathy which is a weakening of the heart muscle or a change in heart muscle structure and is often associated with inadequate heart pumping or other heart function problems. You would need to have very frequent pvc's which CAN but doesnt always lead to pvc induced cardiomyopathy and normally reverses when they are treated.
Avatar m tn Researchers suggest several ways that cocaine may trigger a heart attack. Cocaine can cause a sudden rise in blood pressure, heart rate and contractions of the left ventricle (or pumping chamber) of the heart. These effects can increase the risk of a heart attack. Cocaine also tightly squeezes, or constricts, the coronary arteries that feed blood to the heart. If the artery constricts, blood flow to the heart and brain can be obstructed, causing a heart attack or stroke.
1373602 tn?1373026364 Just got back from emergents again i was there a week ago for the same reason i keep getting bad contractions and they dont go away just in there last time they had to do me 2 perfusions to slow them down and now 1 plus pills to stop them im so scared even thou i was a sure she is not coming yet or before term i cant explain way i have them tomorrow i will see my ob to check him because they give me at emergents some pills to take every time it happens but want to make sure there are the best th
Avatar f tn 5 cm my body was doing very very hard and very closely spaced contractions.... To the rate of 5 in 5 mins for more than 3 hours. As time went on my baby heart rate deselertated to dangerous levels. Every contraction and his heart rate went down until for nearly 3 mins it looked like it was going to stop all.togeather. medicine to slow down and space out the contractions was totally ineffective. The nurses prepped me for an emergency cesarean and off I went.
7157499 tn?1411821385 I have a very high pain tolerance and was pretty much screaming through contractions. Trust youll know when your in labor lol.
Avatar m tn Seven years ago I had congested heart failure due to ischemia (lack of blood flow to heart cells) due to the heart not pumping strong enough to provide a good blood flow into circulation. What happens when the heart has weak contractions, the blood from the lungs backup and fluids leak into the lung tissues....that is the congestion (edema). I was in ICU several days to drain fluids and stabiize oxygen level in the lungs.
Avatar f tn ( its awful.
Avatar f tn they chkd me and im a finger tip dilated with contractions 8 min apart.. ended up having to get an ekg done cause my heart rate is going up to high and they gave me an iv bc I cant hold food down..
Avatar f tn the dangerous part in svt is similar to the danger of vt. your heart is beating so fast that the ventricles cannot fill with blood between contractions. Your blood pressure can plummet and you can faint or even die. In my case at 238 bpm my blood pressure was 0/0 and i passed out in my kitchen. Have you seen a cardiologist about this? I would do so right away as any type of vt is potentially life threatening.
