Jacquie802 Posted December 4, 2005 Report Share Posted December 4, 2005 If you read my post from last night you'd know that I was having a rough night...It ended up getting worse as the night went on. In addition to having a stomach ache I was feeling dizzy, lightheaded and alot of tachy. However, this is the weird part....has anyone here ever had their heart go tachy, then it feels like it has stopped??? When it felt like it has stopped I had this weird reaction type thing. It was almost like when you are falling asleep and your body catches itself and you jerk a little bit and wake up....that's the feeling I got. Very weird. I have had 3 EP studys, which 2 were ablations. The docs know I have probs when some reentry SA node type thing, SVT, and found a few PVC's...I am really concerned about what could cause my heart to feel so weird. Then my legs had barely any feeling but it would disappear after a few minutes, and 10 min later I would get the weird skipped beat or whatever it is going on.....If anyone has any ideaes what this is all about I would love to hear!!Oh I am on Toprol XL 25mg if that helps!

Dizzy Dame Posted December 5, 2005 Report Share Posted December 5, 2005 I get those funny beats too, where my heart will stop for a second or two. I know ectopic beats are where one's heart skips a beat, but mine skips more like two or three beats. I feel like I'm falling backwards when it happens. I've had this feeling for months and haven't died, so I'm sure it's not going to kill me. I've decided it's just another random POTS thing and try to manage with it.

Gena Posted December 5, 2005 Report Share Posted December 5, 2005 I get this VERY OFTEN. My heart stops or gets a funny beat, it feel like a wave or roller coaster motion in my chest sometimes. Sometimes I just feel that my heart stops, I jump awake and I feel really weird, like I'm half alive and half dead, (i know that sounds strange, but it's like my body is suspended in time) and then my heart will suddenly start racing like crazy. It's very scary and I always wonder what causes it to do this.I'm going to mention it to my cardio this week. I'll let you know what he says.Gena Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jacquie802 Posted December 5, 2005 Author Report Share Posted December 5, 2005 Okay that sounds good to me....it is frightening esp when I am feeling dizzy/lightheaded too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
