  1. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NHEuLcG6kwE found a great review on the Fitbit Charge HR. Hopefully I typed the right link in and it should take you to a woman doing a 7 minute review about the Fitbit charge hr. It looks great! If its not the right link let me know.
  2. I am so excited that the Fitbit Charge HR finally came out! I have never owned a fitness watch and have been wanting one since august 2014. I just haven't found the right one that had everything that I wanted. Finally this watch does! I wanted a watch that showed distance, calories burned, and heart rate! Other watches that I thought were good for me they required a smart phone which I do not have. This one you can sync to your computer which is much better. Has anyone bought a Fitbit charge hr yet? If so how well does the hr monitor work?
  3. I take atenolol. I take half of a 25 milligram pill with breakfast and the other half with supper. It has helped me some. It decreased my racing heart and I don't get as much palpitations and it helps my anxiety. Hope you find something that helps! Also Gatorade helps with the electrolytes and salt!
  4. I am so sensitive to heat! I don't drip sweat I get clammy. I cant stand the heat when it is like 72 or higher indoors. I like it 67-69 degrees indoors. If I get hot my face gets all red, I get lightheaded weak and just don't feel good. It frustrates me when my parents have the pellet stove on because it gets 80 degrees in the basement where we hang out and watch tv and then in the kitchen its 75 and sometimes I have to sleep with my window open in the winter!
  5. Since Monday I have been feeling really out of it, foggy, disoriented, almost zombie-ish, weak, a weird woozy feeling like my heads on a boat if that makes sense, and tired. Today it has been snowing all day and i'm just real out of it all day. Usually snow doesn't affect me too much but maybe it does now. I have no idea. My question is does change in weather make our symptoms worse?
  6. When I was younger I used to be able to read in the car all the time. Now I can't do anything in the car except look out the windows. What really makes me dizzy is when im riding in the car and the sun goes in and out of the trees flickering. I have to cover my eyes.
  7. Exactly Katybug! That is how I feel. I don't feel as bad since dinner but still fuzzy and a little woozy. It always seems like the time I feel worst is at dinner. My face gets really red and hot at the table as well. If you don't mind me asking what is Cerebral Perfusion?
  8. I have been feeling really weird ever since I got my shower this morning. We were on my way to my grandmas around 930-10 am and it started in the car. I started feeling really out of it kind of disconnected or detached. I just keep feeling worse throughout the day. When I got to my grandmas I felt a little better when my aunt stopped by so my cousins could get a hair cut. Then it started again feeling weird almost detached zombieish feeling and no energy to do anything not even drawing which I love. Then we just sat down to dinner at 4 pm and I started feeling weird like things were getting fuzzy and disoriented and woozy. I also have been unusually tired today. It was really strange then I was getting hot and now I have shortness of breath. I had to stop eating dinner to go relax. Don't know what this is. I just want it to go away. I was really hot while eating and now im freezing! my grandma wont let me check my blood pressure because she thinks I check it too much which is kind of true. Does this sound like dysautonomia symptoms? I know you guys are not doctors and can't diagnose so I was wondering if anyone had a similar experience and if it sounds like it is related dysautonomia. I wish it would go away!
  9. My brain fog is flaring up this evening. I don't know what could be causing it. It started like an hour or two after my workout. I haven't really had the energy to work out the past month or two and today I had a little more energy so I did a bigger workout. Right now I just feel bad brain fog, trouble thinking, feeling weird almost detached. I'm eating healthy and exercising, drinking Gatorade, and eating extra salt. I hate feeling this way. What helps your brain fog? also what triggers your brain fog? I am still trying to figure out what triggers my brain fog.
  10. I never forget my meds! I had my pills in a 7 day pill organizer. I have a lot of pills and my atenolol is tiny. I take a half of a 25 mg of atenolol in the morning and the other half with dinner. For some reason I missed the pill because it was hidden in the corner when I took the rest this morning. I was wondering why I felt bad this morning. I was at the dentist at 9 am and had 3 cavities to be fixed. I had 3 shots of novocaine. It took an hour to get it done and for some reason my heart kept pounding fast and I was trembling a little which usually i'm fine and calm at the dentist. I have been very tired today as well. Just missing that dose this morning made my heart rate faster and my heart race and pound more in my chest. I have also been feeling super tired, lightheaded and brain fog. has anyone missed a dose of your beta blocker before and noticed side effects? I took my second dose at dinner and my heart racing is better but im still very tired!
  11. wow! I have something similar! I don't know if its the same but my mom and I have no idea what my rash is or not. I have had a rash starting in October and its still here in January and spreading. It starts out as a small flat either red or tan circle then the circle gets bigger and I keep getting other patches Most of them you can't see until after my shower and I get a lot more round patches. They don't itch but its weird. gets worse when im hot or after a shower.
  12. Is it when you breath in and your chest feels like a weird cold burning sensation and out of breath? I get that when I am in the cold or when I do cardio exercise. I have asthma and as soon as I stop the exercise or get warm and do my inhaler I start to feel better. I do feel it as well to like at night for some reason. LIke a shortness of breath weird feeling.
  13. Is anyone else's heart rate faster when sick? My cold is worse today. It started out slowly on Friday with slight scratchy throat then Saturday I felt like sneezing all day then sunday and Monday were the runny nose. Now my nose is stuffier and I am getting a cough. This morning when I woke up I felt terrible. Stuffy, hot, face flushed and my heart was beating really fast. I mean yes it has been really fast in the mornings for the past couple weeks like in the 90s-105s. Today it was 116 beats per minute!!! The fastest yet! What ***** is I have to start a new vocational training program where I go once a week every Wednesday from 930 to 3 pm like a work day but we do vocational training. Its with ovr. I am nervous its my first day and I hate going somewhere when I don't feel good.
  14. I am at the beginning of a cold and today I had this weird ache. I never had this before. On the right side of my head at the bottom base of the skull kind of like behind my ear I felt a dull burning like ache. It was really weird. It lasted a little while gone now but it was so weird! Has anyone else had this? My mom gets this a lot and doesn't know why.
  15. Congrats! That's exciting! Im glad your feeling better
  16. I think I am catching my grandma's cold. All day yesterday I felt like I had to sneeze. My throat was slightly scratchy as well. Then last night I woke up twice sneezing and this morning I sneezed 3 times and I never sneeze! Also my brain feels really fuzzy Plus I am more tired and I notice that when I am tired I get more palpitations and this morning my pulse was at its highest when I woke up. My resting heart rate when I woke up was 109! Does anyone else get more palpitations and tachycardia when you are tired or not sleeping well?
  17. I have that problem all the time. I take Sennalax twice a day which is a pill. Then I take glycolax a powder you mix in your drink and that doesn't work as much as id like sometimes id go a day or two without going. What I am finding now that works miracles is eating a Bel Vita breakfast fiber bar. 2 hrs later im heading to the bathroom lol. I know how you feel. when I get that kind of pain it goes from my lower left abdomen up my left side back into the back of my left shoulder. Its crazy! I like the Banana Belvita bars the best but there are other flavors to choose from hope you feel better!! http://www.walmart.com/search/?query=belvita%20breakfast%20biscuits&typeahead=belvita there is a link to what the belvita breakfast bars are. they are delicious! if you cant click into it then copy and paste into the url
  18. Does anyone else feel sick when they are excited, really happy, or angry? Today I got a new camera that I have been wanting and I was so happy. I just felt jittery inside but I also didn't like the jittery feeling. Then I started feeling hot and weak and foggy. It takes me a while to calm down because when I get excited I get confused because it is the same symptoms as nervousness then I get overwhelmed and anxious and its hard to relax.. Then we had family over for Christmas eve and I was overwhelmed with the crowd. Then today was fun but also overwhelming. Don't get me wrong I had a great Christmas but I just feel overwhelmed of emotions. Like happy but jittery and anxious at the same time. I don't know why im anxious and jittery since its been a great day but I keep trying to relax but its hard to calm the nerves!! plus I had to pack for going to my grandparents house in nj and pack for my other grandparents house for next week! I so hate being overwhelmed! plus I go a new camera which I am so excited about but my mind is all over the place I want to play with the camera, I want to be on the computer, I want to do this and that. I just feel all over the place! Anyone else get like this? I hope everyone had a great Christmas!
  19. That is helpful! I will start making lists. I have also noticed a weird thing if I eat sugary stuff like cookies my brain fog and concentration gets a lot worse! I was fine most of the day then I had a cookie with dinner and my brain fog is back. its really weird.
  20. It seems like I have trouble comprehending directions lately. Like my mom tells me to do something like bring something downstairs and place it somewhere. I get downstairs and forget what I was supposed to do even right after she says it! Anyone else have trouble comprehending?
  21. I am not feeling well this afternoon and evening. I felt fine when I woke up just tired from shopping yesterday. Then I decided to decorate a gingerbread house. It took me 3 hrs! I took a small break to eat a quick lunch . While making the gingerbread house I started feeling weak, lightheaded, and hot. and really out of it. I had to finish the gingerbread though. Ever since making the gingerbread I just feel weak, hot, super tired, no energy, and my neck is stiff and my middle back and lower back aches. It frustrates me that I feel this way just from making the gingerbread house. I just want to be able to do stuff like everyone else and not get tired so quick!
  22. yes online shopping is the best! I wish we could buy everything online! and bigskyfarm I hope you feel better!
  23. Today was a long day!! My parents took me out to do Christmas shopping. I do not drive. When I am in a store I like to be in and out. I do not like shopping and I do not like crowds. When I am in crowds I get overwhelmed, lightheaded, and brain fog. Today my parents and I left the house at 12pm and didn't get home until 7:30 pm. It was so frustrating. I get tired so easily. I wanted to go home after the first store. We went to home depot first so they could pick something up. Then we went to walmart for like an hour and a half and I was overwhelmed. The lighting in walmart bothered me and there was so many people there. I tried on jeans didn't find any that fit. Then by 130pm I was done but my parents said there was more to do. So we then went to lowes, then target, then I walked to petsmart. we finally got home at 730. I am beat. So tired. I hate shopping like this. How do you guys survive it?
  24. I wonder what causes it! Maybe its just part of dysautonomia. When I go to my doctor next I will ask her about it and I will let you all know what she says
  25. I have noticed lately that when I feel my heart pound I hear it in my right ear as well. It's really weird. has anyone had this? Plus every morning I noticed when I wake up my pulse is in the 90's - 101s. anyone get similar symptoms?
