jeff_jefferson2 Posted December 3, 2019 Report Share Posted December 3, 2019 anyone get stomach spasms that coincide with feeling faint? They last for a second or 2. No pain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delta Posted December 3, 2019 Report Share Posted December 3, 2019 Before I was diagnosed with POTS and taking any meds, I occasionally had what I can only describe as "stomach palpitations" - it felt like heart palpitations, but they were in my stomack! Not sure if that's what you're feeling. It had gotten to where I was dizzy and lightheaded day in and day out so it's hard to tell if they coincided with any of those feelings. Sorry you're having to deal with this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pistol Posted December 3, 2019 Report Share Posted December 3, 2019 @jeff_jefferson2 - I am not sure if this is what you are experiencing but I get esophageal spasms that at times feel like palpitations. Sometimes I can only describe them as "Hick-ups" in my chest/throat area, definitely different from actual palpitations. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry you're having to deal with this. This is an excellent way to explain it. It's like a skipped beat but in my stomach...

They do not hurt but feel like palpitations that are not in the heart area. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
