  1. Mine started with mono when I was 21. I was never the same since.

    I then was sick again a few months later and diagnosed by a cardiologist because of tachycardia with epstein barr virus.

    Remember going to so many doctors but no one diagnosed me.

    I was functional though all those years , always hoping I would never pass out.

    It was over the last 3 years, that my symptoms really flared up from a flu and a ton of stress.

    At least I finally got diagnosed but unfortunately, I am not so functional anymore.

  2. Hi

    I went to my cardiologist 2 years ago who basically prescribed xanax and told me to drink water and have salt.

    I wanted to go back for a follow up but they no longer took my insurance so I asked for a copy of my echocardiogram report.

    It said the following which shocked me

    1.) Indications: Heart Murmur

    2.)Mild Concentric LVH

    3.) Mild LA dialation

    4.) Trace MR/TR

    I am annoyed he didnt say anything, but meanwhile I made an appointment with new dr.

    Any ideas what this is?

    thanks

  3. hi

    I have the same issues and completely understand how you feel.

    I do try to go out by myself, even if for a short time. I try to park close to the store so if I dont feel well I can sit down. But I still cant go food shopping or drive too long myself, definitely not like I used to.

    I do feel much better when my husband is with me and waiting in the car in front,

    I wish I had better ideas but can say I understand you and go slow.

  4. yes, this too is very tough for me. I pretty much have avoided crowds, it makes me crazy and then anxiety sets in, and I was never an anxious person.

    It does take all my energy to stay focused and calm.

    From a once a upon a time, independent, social person, this is very difficult.

  5. Can you actually pass out from having tachycardia?

    I had to bring my son his lunch to school

    (he forgot at home) , I walked up the steps with his lunch and bottle of soda for class party. Big mistake!!! I thought I was going to die! My heart rate shot up so high, I felt like I would pass out...can you ?

    It took a while to calm down and had internal shakiness and all...what a morning!
