Avatar n tn I have been known to have a resting heart rate between 100-150 bpm, and last year, my heart stopped for a second and then started to beat erratically. My lips have been getting blue with exercise and my pulse ox is normal There is strong heart disease in my family, Nobody can figure this out, and they say it is not coming from the heart.
Avatar m tn Had a stress test last week and the techs seemed pleased that I was able to achieve my max heart rate -- actually slightly above. Your approximate max heart rate is generally figured at 220 minus your age, so that would put your max heart rate at 153. Not an exact science, of course, but a pretty good guideline.
Avatar f tn s rare so not very likely, but that one has a genetic test. One seems to start in the Lungs and affect the heart while the other starts in the heart.
1510642 tn?1290087285 Once all this started i didnt go to the gym cas i was sick to my stomach and scared bcas i didnt understand why this was happening. For the first week i was having a racing heart and chest pain but now that has slowed down and now im having just body aches from being so tense and shortness of breath that had pretty much subsided too...I went to the docter the one day and he said everything was fine did and EKG while i was havng an attack and told me it was my nerves and im healthy!....
Avatar f tn In November I ended up in the ER with heart palpitations. After various tests, they couldn't find anything wrong and said I'm fine. (I'm 36 with no previous health conditions). I saw a cardiologist in December and he said the palpitations are premature beats that everyone has and it's benign. I still have heart palpitations daily. I'm getting a second opinion next week because I felt the first cardiologist brushed me off and the palpitations are bothersome to me.
Avatar n tn Well you can see a doctor and have them check your heart to see if your heart is doing well, if that is ok then you might have what they call tennis elbow. You don't have to play tennis to get it either, you just might have bumped your elbow or had strained it too much. If they find problems in your heart, they can catch things early and correct the problem.
Avatar n tn I ended up in the ER to rule out Heart stuff.....I had bloodwork for heart/thyroid too....chest x-ray...EKG....and an echocardiogram...everything came out really good. Which I figured due to my age, and no history of heart issues. So, I'm thinking it might be the hiatal hernia...does this sound possible with the heart flutters??? I've tried tums, Maalox and now the dexilant and havent seen much of a difference. ER doc told me to try pepcid AC..and wrote me out a prescription....
1308936 tn?1278148563 It sometmes takes months to know. My heart attack caused hypokinesis (impaired heart wall movement from echo) and the EF was below 29% with echo and 13% with cath. A heart attack results in heart wall movement impairment due to damaged heart cells. If this weren't the situation, there is no heart attack.
3138931 tn?1350940318 Im about to go to bed, but every night while i lay on my right side i feel my heart pounding really hard. not racing, just beating awfully hard. I roll over to my left side, and it still feels like my heart is going to beat out of my chest. this only happens when im laying down for the night and it does bother my breathing. it gets a little tough to breath, but not bad enough to where id wanna actually call 911....is this even normal during a pregnancy?
Avatar f tn So I have Generalized Anxiety, and some health anxiety. My main concern with my health has been my heart. I had my first panic attack in November and since then I have not been the same. I used to be very fit. I would run 2 miles a day. Go hiking and never be indoors. After my panic attack that all changed. I started having chest pains. Palpitations, stinging pains.
4097344 tn?1349754756 im in need of some help. i need health insurance but i just lost my job. now that i have palpitations im scared to drive or do anything. i went to the er and they did a ct scan with contrast and said they didnt find anything wrong. i just feel like crap. out of energy. all blood test came back good. i got a ct scan with contrast for my head last week but i havent heard back from them with the results so im guessing they didnt find anything.

1161097 tn?1262718792 Well what you are describing are typical signs of angina where there is a restriction of blood supplying the heart tissue. Can I ask how old you are? how long has this been happening? how much exertion do you have to do for this pain to happen? does it happen every time you exercise? do you sweat with the pain? do you feel nauseous? do you feel light headed at all? does your breathing change? do you feel any throat/jaw discomfort? is there any history of heart disease in your family?
Avatar m tn I'm 61 years old who has had an ED problem about 4-5 years. My wife is a beautiful and sexy fifty-six years old. I was in medications for depression for almost 10 years and I got off them 32 months ago. I still take clonazepam (1mg for the day and two 1mg at night) and Metadadate (one 20mg & one 32 Mg in the morning & same at 2 Pm). I had a heart attack in late 2002. I dropped 65 pounds and see my doctor regularly.
Avatar m tn But as an increase in work came the working out time was consumed by running around work 6 days a week. Well last week my girlfriend noticed my heart rate was crazy fast (her estimate was 120 bpm so im guessing ~90-110 bpm) so i did research and the only change other than my work-out regiment was the fact that i hadn't been taking my meto on a regular basis, if at all...
Avatar f tn Sometimes I feel my heart palpitating, and an abnormal heart rhythm... I'm not 100% sure if it technically flutters, or beats irregularly, I kind of feel both sensations at once. Mild chest pain is sometimes present and I will usually feel my heartbeat in my arms, neck, or somewhere else. Tonight I felt it in the right part of my chest which I'm not familiar with feeling. Often when I do get these symptoms they tend to last for awhile, and/or come back later.
3060668 tn?1340675902 Hello everyone I'm a 27 year old male and here is my story, I've been dealing with some major issues for a while now. Over the past couple of years I have been diagnosed with gerd and have to take daily medication for it. At the time, I was also experiencing bad lightheaded and dizziness episodes so went to a cardiologist. About a year ago I was given a 24 hour holter monitor and a stress echo, both which came back negative for any serious issues.
