Faye Posted January 21, 2016 Report Share Posted January 21, 2016 My HR is moving every second from 80-97... On my chest strap and finger oxygen pulse. It is moving up about 2 beats till 97 and then back down...maybe only settling for a few second but not staying..feel a flutter in my throat, little short breath, and feels like a squeeze when jumps up by 5 beats....I am on BB ... Left messages for doc but no call back I don't feel like need ER but really want to know what to do to make it better. Help.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigskyfam Posted January 21, 2016 Report Share Posted January 21, 2016 How are you feeling now? Did you go in to be seen? I have days like that where it will fluctuate and I don't feel well. I'm not on a bb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Faye Posted January 21, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 21, 2016 No call back and didn't go in ...I am on a new dose of BB maybe my body is just trying to adjust today it dropped to 66-70 and then did 70-80 and then 80-90 and back all over again all in 15 min times....and now it is 110 laying on my back...who knows... I know it's not AFIB in true since but I can feel this as odd as that sounds, and it is not fun ;/ but maybe my body is trying to fight my POTS... Uff...

Guest ANCY Posted January 22, 2016 Report Share Posted January 22, 2016 I have the same trouble, flip flopping all over the place. Not sure why... I am on Ivabradine which does help me keep a more even pulse, but whenever I push to hard it reverts back to flip flopping. I do find that if I rest it improves somewhat. I had a home care nurse tell me she could hear it one time, really wierd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
angelloz Posted January 22, 2016 Report Share Posted January 22, 2016 My does this all the time! If I watch my pulse oxi....it goes up and down as I breathe in and out. from 80 or upper 70's to 98ish. in breath hold a bit it goes down..breathe out it climbs back up. Next time I see my doctor I will ask about this, I keep forgetting to. When I have my husband try his will jump around a bit but very small range, maybe 4 beats per minute.

RobinB Posted January 22, 2016 Report Share Posted January 22, 2016 This happens to me too. My can go from 60-100 just sitting down in a matter of a few minutes. It's frightening. Deep breathing helps normalize it I think. My friend tried mine and hers only varied by 3 or 4 within several minutes.Hope you are feeling better today!

Faye Posted January 22, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 22, 2016 Thank you guys so much! I have a follow up in couple of weeks, I put it on my spouse and my daughter same thing just a few beats up and down, kept it on them for about 5 min just to see....so I am guessing this is just a part of POTS, the thing is I check because I FEEL it, like a squeeze in my chest...and can feel when it moves up big time....at least I know I am not the only one....makes me feel better...so hard when having good days I get excited and think maybe I am on the mend and BOOM, nope, nasty trick, something like this happens or different to find out it really is yes and no, and sometimes....
