What Could it be??
About a year n half ago, when I came back from a holiday abroad i was taken into hospital with a fast heart beat was over double what it should of been, since then this has happened a few times, sometimes it feels like its missing a beat. I had countless blood tests n a heart xray but they all came back fine, the docs just perscribed me beta blockers which I did not take because they said I didnt have to and I thought why take medication when you dont know what the problem is?!
I also sometimes feel out of breath, like i need to take a deep breath/yaw but I cant, this is happening alot recently and it feels like its taking over my life!
Yesterday was the worse, i had to heart palputations and shortenss of breath all at once, and felt really dizzy, I had to pull over because I was driving. I went to see the doctor yesterday afternoon and now they are saying the two may be linked, and Im having the same blood tests done again, which i feel is pointless because everything was fine last time so its obviously something else. But i dont understand how not being able to breath propper could be linked to my heart beating fast, because I dont always feel my heart pounding when i feel out of breath.
Any clue what it could be? or how i can at least take deep breaths properly untill my blood test results come back??

It sounds very much like u are suffering from chronic hyperventilation.
This can cause severe dizziness, shortness of breath
Struggling to breath and pounding heart.
Therapy could involve hypotherapy, CBT. You may also benefit from
Taking the Beta-blockers, they will calm the symptoms down.
Sorry for the way this is written, I'm on my
Mobile and is hard to write from.

I do feel glad that the test were fine...but in a way wanted the problem to be resolved, feel like im just going to be wasting time now, because the tests are fine, therefore theres nothing wrong with me!
My doctor advised going to private health care, which my dad had fru work, but i dont wanna go incase they just think im being stupid because theyve done all the tests and theyre all fine!

Gab,
Sometimes, when test results come back fine we do have the tendency to get frustrated and confused only to bypass the good news that everything is ok! Still you feel as there is something wrong and think, no piece of paper is going to tell me different. On one side I just want to tell you I am so happy that everything did come back negative. On the hand I know how you feel when you ask “is this all in my head” and express you feel as though your going mad. It breaks my heart but I can truly tell you I understand to an extent. After all I don’t know exactly how your feeling just as vise versa.
Did your doctor extend the process in figuring that it is anxiety? I would never want to impose, but Gab how did you feel when the tests did state everything was ok? I think anxiety is one of the most difficult “illness” or “disorder” known to man. The reason I believe this is because its kinda like an absentee from documentation. There is no proof as to how or why it surfaced. Even getting tests done for the symptoms in reference to anxiety its not going to come back in a written flashing light “ANXIETY” everything’s going to show up absent of anything wrong. Leaving more confusion because your body is going through suck turmoil. I think anxiety is highly different as well because as you continue to get more negative results back your loved ones aren’t seeing in paper that anything is wrong so they start to think “Its all in your head” after all its easily to have compassion for something with proof right? No, I don’t think that’s the case. Anxiety is very real, you can feel it. And sometimes it does get out of control having you beat up on yourself, feeling as though no one understands.
That’s why this site is an amazing medicine, specifically to anxiety. To be honest, I am not in therapy and I don’t take medication only because of insurance. I would highly recommend it. It is an essential benefit to overcoming anxiety. Personally, who better to talk to other than someone who is going through the same thing. Without insurance the anxiety did kick in full gear and I do have several blown out attacks a week but this site is instant xanax because others do understand what I’m going through because there going through it too.
Don’t be discouraged Gab, The main centerfold to focus on when you start feeling the physical discomfort of your body. Including your heart is knowing you’ve went through this state before and physically, everything is ok. Concentrate on your breathing. I reassure you, you are not alone and I will be here if you need anything. When things do get extremely hard I think of the little tune “Ooooo child things are gonna get easier… Oooo child things are gonna get brighter” haha… Take care Gab, and know I’m here.

Remember... put on your hard helmet if everything does come back normal which would indicate an amazing thing! but just to get down to the bottom of what is really going on dont leave out the door without a processed solution you have the right to know!!! <3
I’m sure that your heart is perfectly healthy: ) Do the blood tests include T3-T4-TSH?

Regulate your heart and breathing with this pranayam and expect to notice the benefit in days. Initially do it twice a day, and then once a day for life, after you feel better.

This is one cycle of anulom vilom.

I'll ask about that thanks :) also my heart beats fast after even a few minutes of exercise which the doc says isn't normal for someone my age! So we shall see what they come up with next!
hey gab maybe ask your doctor if these symptoms are in reference to having MVP (Mirital Valve Prolaspe) its is perhaps the most important physical conditon that complicates panic disorder. A valve in the heart (the mirtal vlave) prolapes or slips out of place when it is supposed to be closed. The result is that some blood leaks past the valve. For most MVP is harmless except for the discomfort that arises in a panic attack. Symptoms are chest pain often short sharp or stabbing they occur predominanitly at rest or occasionally with exercise. Pulpitations are another symptom (awareness of the heart beating) Fatigue is another. Just a suggestion in maybe discussing this with your doctor. :) Process of Elimination my friend.
I was put on medication for it. It did help alot especially with the attacks. A generic prozac. It took about 2 weeks to really start working.
me too. but dont let that stop u demand a processed elabrite soultion that gets down to the bottom of things.
i was given an inhalor when i was 16..but it wasnt because of ashma, they frt it was because of hayfeaver of allergic reaction because it came mostly in the summer...i think they just want a quick sollution really.
Im smilin bearsized right now, im so glad you have support from your dad, amazing, amazing!!! Have you ever had any heart conditions in the past? ashma?... Im releived to know you have a more helpful doctor, as it is hard to find because in my opinion I think most take tthe title "md" as a write off to slack off on the duty of actually being a doctor when in reality they are the most essetional to this world in the workplace. But I do have faith there are a few good ones out there and I hope that you've found one, which I beleive you did! Continue to strenghthen your mind throughout all of this and Ill be praying your tests go well! Im here....
yer..theyve perscribed me inhalors, beta blockers, but just seems like they cant be bothered finding what is really wrong, I saw a different doctor yesterday and he was really helpfull, he said they need to do all the blood tests again just to rule out anything else, but he said it may be anxiety, but cant say for deffinate at this point. Ive just been putting off doing anything about is because Ive been before and they just seem to give you medication without even knowing whats wrong. My dad went with me yesterday because hes noticed me struggeling to take breaths, so it felt better that he could actually stick up for me n say look there is something wrong here.
Your right, it does feel like no one understands, but I do and hypathetically when it comes to anxiety you and I are walking hand in hand and I am right here with you if you ever need anything.
It is "normal" for anxiety to occur everyday. Personally, mine has been consist throughout each dday for about a year now, The important thing if it is anxiety is to get solid foundation therapy or even someone you confide in to talk with. Medication may be directed to take from a doctor but I would advice if it is anxiety dont just let them push a medicine on you and boot you out the door as alot of doctors will do. If you let them do this you are only hueting yourself bc meds are only half the source to cease the anxiety if you dont attach talking with someone you possibly could have to take meds for the rest of your life. regardless it will only treat half of the disorder. Im not going to lie, it is a struggle and Im not gonna lie, you will get through us. As a huge bonus this website is amazing for support and encouragment that helps everyone overcome this.
