Ok i was taking my pulse for a full Minute and while i was i noticed some strange things. A) I breathe in deep and my HR slows down (dramaticly, for a few beats) I swallow and my HR goes fast for a second or two. C) Occasionly when i breathed out my HR would rise. Why is this, someone said its 2 do with the vagus (spelt wrong) nerve or something.

Sometimes my tachy is 110 resting, ive clocked 130. Today i have a bad stomach, and got diahreea (cant spell it) and my resting HR is 92BPM. Chest pain and tightness gets me when i have tachy, although i dont get that much pain with tachy, only on bad spells.

Im VERY! sensative. I herd a door knock next door and it got me going. And yes things that brush agains my skin set me off aswell.

Dont know were mine came from. It was after a very nervous scare one day that lasted along time. But ontop of this i was doing alot of heavy weight training and alot of running. Could be due to alot of things.

OMG cant belive this popped up. I used to lvoe coming from work, taking a bath and going to bed. I cant bath on my own no more. Soon as i sit down i start getting tachy, and yesterday was out of this world. I sat there, i stood up to rub sope on my body and started getting a raised HR and some heartbeat skips, i sat down and had to get out, i thought i was gona pass out. I havnt been able to bath properly for about 3 years. Happens all the time. I used to shower in my old house but i mooved back home and have no shower. Im so glad someone brought it up as i get it all the time, i thought i was stupid thats why inever mentioned it. I usually sit on the edge of the bath, wash my legs and bits, rub bath soap on a flannel or sponge and lather it on my top half, i jump in for about 30 seconds and wash it. I wash my hair quickly and wash my face in the sink where i can stand up.

I get the numbness on my back, sometimes it feels hot on a certian area of the back, when i feel it it feels semi numb. No rash though. Sounds like allergic stuff to me

Belive me some days i just cannot do it. I have a posative mind after the gym but soon as i get home it all fails and i start thinking negative. Im constantly checking my pulse aswell now. I feel like im fit and then other times i feel im not. Its a great struggle for me, i watch others around me workout and i always think do any of these people have problems? Very hard indeed. Very.... Sometimes i want to quit.

Hi all, im feeling Semi-Well (To put it lightly) First thing is im doing really well. My Gym workouts are going very well, im heading for the bodybuilding routine (as a male). I also ran a mile in 8:24. This really put me through the paces, my body was at its 90% limit, i felt it all, but i was determined to beat a record what i set as a kid, and i did! I can now manage 2 Miles and a workout a day, at the gym. I was gonna go for another mile just befor i finished but had some pain, so i thought, its time to stop and be happy i did 2. Second thing, im not sure if its linked to my workout, but my arms and hands become weak, alot with that BOTH thumbs on both hands twitch/spasm alot. I noticed yesterday i was squeezing mayonaise out of the bottle and my whole arm was shaking. I also notice that the bottoms of my arms and hands can feel weak at times. It may be in my head but have you had this befor? Look forward to your replys.

thanks for the replies. Ill keep it up!

My second topic of the day, i felt it needed to be said. After reading mighty mouse doing so well and me taking up running i decided its best to start back at the gym. Ive did a full week and worked out my arms, legs, back, sholders, abs, chest ect ect. and i ran: 3 MILES IN ONE DAY!!!! I did one mile befor my session and 2 miles after! I completed 1 Mile in 9 mins, and 2 miles in 20mins. I was so proud of myself, ive been on a high all weekend. These paranoid spells i get are dropping off me, tachycardia, palpatations, skipped beats, PVCs, low BP, dizziness and all the rest of it are not effecting me, i still get it sometimes but my anxiety is very low! Lets hope this good spell continues. Im that high that i went for a job interview ON MY OWN! and can now slowley do things ALONE! May everyone take a leaf from each others books and fight as much as you can!!!! PS. My total mileage for this week was 6 Miles. Im hoping to get it to 20 miles per week within 6 months and in 12 i hope to have it to 40 and start training for the London marathon in 2007. Im doing treadmill running but once i feel compitent and brave ill start doing hill runniong and road running.

Hi all. Just got back from going shopping, decided to have a bath, was nice and relaxed until my left thumb starting doing its own thing. It actually moves on its own!!! It was going side to side and felt like it was a twitch on a nerve or muscle. No pain but very annoying. Ive had twitches in my legs and eyelids, cheeks, face ect. for years. Today i woke up with a very badly Bloated stomach, felt awful until i passed wind several times, then it died down and went. I just ate a subway a BLT with lettuice, onion, jalapionos, cheese and gurkins, so dont know if its got anything to do with that. Signs are pointing to ceciliac, im going to now starve myself of glutent products and see if the bloating, wind and twitching goes away! This will be fun as im not going to eat bread, milk cheese and the rest of it! Lets hope this twitching goes..........

Hi, Winters coming and it seems ever winter my symptoms rise. Ive been noticing more chest pain recently but its really confusing. It dosn't last long, about 15 seconds max, and its like a dull pain in the center of my chest and sometimes on my right side (away from the heart). I noticed it about an hour or so after eating beans on toast. I was sitting on my PC doing absolutly nothing when i noticed it. Another time in the day I was lying in bed with my girlfriend, and when i mooved in possitions it came on, but never lasted long. I took my pulse while this was happening and it was normal. I noticed when i burp i get that sick stuff come up, so im wondering if acid is resting in my stomach pipe (dunno what its called). If i force myself to burp i can feel it come up slightly. Ive also had wind wanting to come out but it wont. Also when it happens or after if i touch the part of chest it happens on i can feel the pain, but the pain is on my chest bones. Also if i grab a string of muscle on my chest its often swollen slightly and hurts. Its really confusing, im 99% sure its not heart related cos id be dead now. I think its my stomach and acid reflux. Never the less it will call for a trip to the doctors to see whats going on.

May i thank mighty Mouse, you have inspired me. Today i felt down and glum, and didnt want to do anything, i read mightys post on her running and though 'ALL THAT SHES BEEN THROUGH AND SHE CAN STILL FIGHT'. Ive been through no were near a hard time as she has and if she can find the energy so can i. I got up of my bum and started a slow process of my training! I was scared, but i did it. Im going to take this slow and run the 2007 marathon. I will start a blog so you can log my progress. Thanks mighty! I hope this inspires otherss. PS. I was a keen runner 2 years ago and did 18 miles + a week, im down to 1 a week.

Best of luck to you Nina. Im registering for the 2007 Marathon im starting training after christmas, to much on at the moment. I probably wont complete it as fast as the others, but its taking part that counts!

Wrote a book, woww! i want to write a book, to busy atm. Is it published yet?

Yeah to be fair this sounds like me. When i was young my uncle had diabities but also abused drugs, he used to get infections in his leg, they were like lumps full of pussy stuff, due to heroin injection ect ect. Anyway he lived at my nans and i had to stay there while my parents were at work, so i used to see the nurse coming to clean his wounds. This really freaked me out, at the age of 8 i was checking my leg for lumps. One day i got a thron in my leg and it wouldnt come out, then it came out and a bit of puss came out, i went bezerk, i sat crying thinking i had a lunp in my leg and id have a big hole there. This esculated into thinking i had diabetes, and i kept a record of how many times i went the toilet. Throught the years scince then ive thought i had cancer, meningitus, heart desiese, stomach ulcers, brain tumour, going blind, going death, not breathing ect ect. Its exculated since then. Im seriously scared of medical books, i wont go near one, i know what it will cause. Ive had this since the age of 8 and im 21 now.

I had a bowl of porridge the other day, samll bowl of ready break, and i was awfull. BP Low, tachycardia ect!. Awww im never eating it again.

Lol katie, you sound just like me. Your married at 20? Im 21 my girlfriend is 18 and i live with me parents and girlfriend. My girlfriend may be pregnant and i think she expects me to work but unless i can work from home im really going to find it hard as i cant leave the house on my own due to SEVERE anxiety, and when symptoms hit at work i'd have to go home, which would be most days. It really upsets me, but on the other hand if i discuss it with my Girlfriend i could be the one that stays at home and does housework ect. Im not sure were life will take me but i hope its good. Has your friend got a website for her Artwork? PM Me.

This must be awful for you and i really feel for you, i really hope you can get better. The weakness happens to me at night and i used to stop breathing. I have had episodes recently were breathing is shallow and HR is low. I dont have trouble with breathing as myne is anxiety related but i have had the gasping for breath at night. Do you awake with a slow HR at night? Just a question as i have this alot! I think for me i feel weak all the time becuase im down and depresed, i have no money, cant get on with my life ect....and im only 21. I do find if i go to the gym and exersise i feel alot better, but as i said i have no money. Im not sure if this will help you but i can imagine you must be depressed and so sick of life. All i can offer you is can you find something that will make you feel a tiny bit better. I know you condition is worse then mine, but i find that if i find something to make me feel better, i start to feel better in myself and do more things. Lol, sorry for gaggin. Hope you get well soon

Ok this is a serious issue for me, im not sure if anyone has or has had this befor but ill explain anyway. Ive noticed recently that whatever i think about happens. Like for example it happened twice just. I read on the board about your pulse being 110 and can cause problems, so i checked mine and as soon as i started to take my pulse it rised and i felt an adrenaline boost. Also i was reading a PM about chest paiin, whilst reading it some said do you have it? i replyed occasionally, and as soon as i thought about it it happened. Now this happens alot in my daily life, im a constant thinker and think about my body 24/7 so this plays havock with me. Is this a problem and can it be controlled and has anyone had it. It probably sounds stupid but its does happen to me.

For most of us the spare time is all day, lol. Just wondering what everyone does. I dont work so in my time i design graphics and websites. Im self taught and ive purchased alot of books to teach myself these sort of things. If it wasnt for the PC id be paranoid all day thinking about all the what ifs, so this keeps me occupied. Throughout my years of self teaching ive learnt alot and gotten some work from it all. I currently design graphics for Urban Music artists and DJs who arnt in the mainstream and make about 40 Pounds per week extra money from it. I also design websites and am currently trying to get a job working for a web company, or an apprentaship position. Im also a bit naughty sometimes and download some DVDs, but thats to keep my head at bay when im board. I feel the computer is my lofe at the moment, without it id be stuck. I look forward to hearing what you people do

Very interesting replys and im actually gonna print this out when more replys are added. Ill read the rest (if any) later when i have my tea. Take care all. Love you all!

Ok i was gonna add a voting poll but i couldnt find how to do it, so well have to stick with text lol. I havnt been here in a while, ive had some graphic design work to do and been a bit busy with my music, but ive been feeling down latley. Terrible wind, Stomach and chest pains, palps, blah blah blah have caught up with me, probably due to the stress and workload im under. Everyone knows how scarey palpatations, skipped beats or addition beats can be, so to ease everyones mind i thought id start a topic to see how many you get on average a day, how hard or shallow are they and how do they affect you. For me, some days i have them hard and pretty bad, i learn to get on with life after the 3 years of putting up with them. Some days i have 0 - 1 a day, some i have anything from 10 to 50!

I discussed it with my doctor about 3 years ago, when i first noticed them. I got really scared and thought i was going blind but she assured me there harmless and alot of people have them. Nowerdays they go un-noticed, but in really bright places, or in the summer i notice them more. Facial twitching and VERY! bad twitching around the eyelids is very common for me and is very annoying. The feeling of my eyelid twitching is now a part of liife, ive had it for a good 4 years or so. First time i noticed my vission shake or tremmble was when i was playing a football game on a Playstation 2 about 3 years ago, all the player running around ect. All has been discussed with a doctor on a number of occasions and my vision is perfect

DizzyGirl said this on a post and today ive noticed all of this! I have floaters, today my vision has started to go blurrey and i have alot of pain/pressure behind my right eye. When my vision blurs its like my eye shakes, or trembles really fast and i start feeling a bit spaced out for a second. Ive had floaters for along time but only noticed the blurred vision today. The pressure comes and goes occasionally. I cant play computer games cus if i do my eyes start to tremble, ive noticed that in the past, as far back as 4/5 years. Anyone have anything like this?
