How common is tachycardia in Lyme?

did you see the post about POTS ?

I myself have all these symptoms . It is very common in lyme people especially if gone un treated for so many years.

how long do you have lyme. you can read more info on wikapedia . punch in ..POTS

Dowa, I get it in my sleep and standing up. my bedroom is a mess becasause by end of day I just drop everything on the floor to go to bed. But for me to PICK THEM UP is too big of a deal to bend over.

Have you been checked for parasites? i had strongylides and everyday I would be out driving the carGRIPPING the steering wheel in the most frightening pain . All the time I thought to just drive myself to the emergency room but the thought of that is even more frightening.
Once you mention heart the go nuts in the ER. you could go in bleeding all over and be dropped instantly for a person who comes in with chest pains. That happened to me once before. They drew blood and something from that blood test told them I had a heart thing happen. The cardiac doctor and team were all there instantly. I thought it was my thyroid going bezzurk from inteferon treatment for hep c. This was before I figured out that lyme was my biggest problem.

anyway last year a really sharp group of naturopaths in Seattle took my case on as a group and finally figured out that the culprit here that has caused so much damage is lyme. But the stool test with the strongylides was the tip off that led them in the lyme direction. Ivermectin is what I took for a couple of days and instanty my chest pains were gone.

the stool test comes from metametrix and is about $400. it will tell you everything about how your gut is processing everything. how your pancreas is doing and PARASITES. that test saved my life.

Hye Dowa, don't forget too about the thick blood test from hemex labs.

Also, Babesia can cause tachycardia too but I am concerned about you looking blue/grey. That sunds more like you're not getting oxygen that's why sleep apnea came to mind.

Thank you to all of you who replied. I was hesitant about the ER as Bucci said, they get "freaked out" there and I dont have another million dollars to spend in the ER. I was surprised to see that parasites could cause chest pain and tachycardia, interesting. I dont believe I have sleep apnea but I do live alone so, I suppose I could have it and not know. I just did not want to do the whole "cardiac workup" and be told I am ok. I read an article recently about Lyme and left-sided heart block and I cant seem to find that article now. That is why I asked here. I was also thinking the sticky blood condition...is that Heme test done only with ND or LDMD? I have no Lyme doc here, that is the whole problem. I am stuck with a GP or ER visit and am in Texas where they swear they dont have Lyme Disease. Thanks, I will due some more research. Be well everyone, thanks for helping.   Dowa
