Heart again!

<< < (3/3)

nigela:
Been told today ive high BP and ectopic heartbeat causing the bad palpitations so have to have an ecg done now. Still not sure if its the kidney cyst or the ectopic that could be causing the high BP tho.

Suzi Q:
I had the first attack of what I call the skippies at 26 my MUM sent a letter saying I was dead as id come to Ozz
I was put on Beta Blocas Inderal for a month or so then it went
12 years later when pre meno happened it started again palpitations and skipping beats it was horrible really scarey
Went to another gp Id moved and he put me on the same he said it was stress with in 4 days or so it went
Had the odd blip a few times took the pills then they went In 2004 my brother died and 5 months later i had it again
MY heart would miss beats Id feel light headed dizzy sickly feeling this time it took months to go properly
Then last June I had an attack whih lasted 29 days all the same symptoms except for no skipping beats
Got it now started a week ago taking Betas from last year its eased not gone yet by any means but no skipping beats
I have still a feeling of fear and tummy rolling
I wake and am OK for a few mins then it starts feeling of sickly terror heart races but better than a week ago
IM 23/4 beats per 15 secs Im normaly 19/20 per 15secs but I just feel weird no pain no tightness bit breathy fear type
IT started right after the fight on the train a week last Wednesday felt off Thursday on Friday last friday BOOM
I hate it its really scarey but what can GP do Ive got the pills and they do help and too be honest im scared to go
I know tests tests tests if it skips or if I get a pain then I will go but otherwise take the pills and see what happens
Ive no skipping beats I just feel scared like a planes taking off Im terrified of flying Its hard to explain the feeling
 its a feeling of real fear weird or what

nigela:
Do you need meds for an ectopic heart beat or just when you have high BP too?
