Tachycardia in the morning...So frustrating!
I am so sick of either waking up with a fast heart rate or getting a bout of tachycardia sometime during the morning. I mean, this is supposed to be the most relaxed portion of the day, yet my heart is so "irritable" in the morning. This morning I thought I was ok, then I started getting the "old feeling" in my chest and when I checked it was 91, then 93, then I got all worked up and it shot as high as 146. I got it back down, like I always do, but...ugh...I'm just so tired of even dealing with the whole problem. No doctors can help me because they say that my heart is normal, it is just anxiety that makes it fast. Whatever....I'm really sick of this (can you tell? hehe)
So...who's with me? Who has a fast heart rate in the morning and who is sick of it? It always helps to know that I'mnot alone, at the very least...(sigh)...

READ ON THIS IS YOUR CURE- THE ANSWER YOU ARE SEARCHING FOR-
For last 18 months I have had these symptoms on and off- but all seem to be worse around my cycle
- rapid heart rate
- "oxygen starvation"
- dizzy
- panic/anxiety
- upset stomach - both ways
- dry eyes
- blurry vision
- sweating
- chills
- numb hands and arms
- tingling in legs, hands, feet
- increased/decreased appetite (severe both ways)
- adult acne
- canker sores or just sore gums
- mood swings
- changes in my vision
- tremors upon waking
- deficiencies in B12, Vit D, magnesium, potassium, selenium, calcium, iron, omegas, lisine, arginine and the list goes on. (I got this done at a "holistic" doctor I paid for out of my own pocket. The test was $900, but worth every penny in retrospect.)
- Despite my tests, every doctor told me it was all in my head and that I needed to see a shrink. They treated me so poorly, despite my excellent insurance. :)
I did see a shrink. After the evaluation, he told me that something was obviously wrong with me physically because of my deficiencies. He urged me to pursue a correct diagnosis. He also told me that the only thing "wrong" with me mentally was the abuse I have sustained by the medical field. I went back to my doctor with renewed confidence and asked for every test I could think of. Because my doctor was hesitant to give me some of these, I simply saw several doctors at once and used them for the test scripts. I have paid a small fortune, but I have decided that the cost of a very used car is well worth my life. I was finally able to diagnose myself with Celiac's disease through a Celiac's panel test I requested. (When it came back positive the doctor looked so stupidly at me saying she was so surprised. She obviously never listened.) Then through another doctor I was able to get the capsule camera that showed the damage to my intestines. He said it looks more like Crohn's. So next week I will go to another doc for a biopsy order.
The point of all this is... malabsorption, regardless of its origin, causes "anxiety" and "panic". It also causes severe hormonal imbalances. It can lead to death, yet there are no scripts for it, only dietary changes. Therefore doctors do not pursue this diagnosis. They have nothing to gain from you if they cure you. It is a shame and it is probably the most widely undiagnosed disease in the world. Malabsorption is the primary cause of heart disease, diabetes, cancer and a slew of "psychological" illnesses. You have been informed, please spread the word and help someone suffering. God bless you and keep you.

This is just a suggestion. I went through this myself, but I saw a show on
tv - medical mysteries and this lady had racing heart for over 20 years
and they couldn't figure out why . . . . then she finally got the right
doctor and they did a cat scan of her abdomen w/ contrast and they
found an adrenal gland tumor which can cause heart racing. . adrenal gland
tumors can cause hormones (catacholamines) that shoot out burst of adrenal,. .they're
rare but possible. . . I know becuae they found one on me looking for
causes of heart racing but so far between 2 idiot endocrinologists said that
it's not causing the heart racing but I don't believe them. ..but
most doctors don't know enough to check for this.
Just thought this might be of help!

Saw your post but didn't read all the replies. I have the same
problem . could be hyperactive thyroid, could be you might
have tacachyarida, could be low progestrone, , have you worn
an event monitor at home prescribed by a doc or cardilogist?
You could have POTS. .. Postural orthostatic tachychardia
sydrome? .. .need a cardiologist that has a "tilt table' test
for that. It sounds like it's not anxiety to me . . .so just
BREATHE .. .and relax . .. .be persistent when you're
body is not "your normal" . . don't back down.
If you need to talk more . .email me ***@****

Gosh, I can so relate to you! I have been going out of my mind due to having morning tach. This has been going on for a year now. I wake up and my heart rate can be as fast as 124. goes down quick, bu tI don't like it. Scares the heck out of me. I've had every cardiac test with the exception of a cath.. all passed with flying colors. I wore the holter, and an event montor for 6 weeks. all came back fine. I even had a tilit table test. that was normal. My monitors Just showed some mild tach and a couple extra beats. I do suffer from panic attacks and I'm a keyed up person in gerneral.. they are trying to tell me this is why. I've been to the ER many times due to this.. it's very alarming. My xanax has been the only saving grace so far. but, Doc wants me off that and to try a drug called luvox. I've also had just about every other medical test in the book to see if the tach was coimng from other places like my thyroid.. and nope.. they can't find a single thing. This is an awful feeling and way to live. I now have had a couple attacks at mid day. few days ago my heart raced up to 140 and B{ shot up. Took my xanax 20 minutes later it was back under 100. My resting is high to begin with 80's 90's has always been like that. I'm perplexed and this is having a very bad affect on my life.
I totally relate to so much of what you just wrote. I am about to go take a cold-er shower myself, and PMS week is in full swing. Yes...this is all so frustrating indeed :( And, I also miss having a nice, icy cold Coke...or, better yet...a yummy Dr Pepper :(
