BabyTiger, I don't think that you sounded mean or rude. I think your advice is very good. Thank you! Maybe I can get a little better over time---a long, long, long time--but maybe I can ....
Thanks everyone! I am feeling much better but then again Ace is behaving nicely. (LOL) I really do like him when he is quiet and behaved. I haven't worked with him any since that night though. I know...
I woke up this morning as exhausted as last night, but I did not have any more panic attacks last night. That in and of itself is a miracle. I am still having palpitations on and off but not as bad...
I'm sorry but I just wanted to add another thing. If this is a true ticcing disorder, then I am sure that the neurologist explained that it has to do with the neurotransmitter chemicals in the brain...
I just wanted to add that when her ticcing was really bad. We noticed that if she was focused on something, they would virtually disappear. However at night relaxing, they would be terrible. Our...
I just thought I'd let you know that my 12 year old daughter has a ticcing disorder also. It started when she was 4 and she has been under a neurologist's care in the past. However she has been...
Something very scary happened tonight and triggered a panic attack in me and I'm pretty sure it will be just the first of many tonight. How do you stop it? How do you get back in control? I am...
I'm really not sure what you call the testing that they did. It was a series of tests done at a research center in San Antonio, Tx., although I'm sure that they do it other places too. The tests...
It has been a long time since I've posted. I finally got answers on all the tests that ENT ran on me because of those episodes. He said the tests did reveal it is an inner ear problems. It is called...
For me, vertigo means that the room begins to spin around....
Hi. It is your doctor that has to find out what is going on but it could be a number of things. It can be a muscular-skeleton pain. It could be heartburn or GERDS. It could be a gallbladder that is...
I did call my doctor's office again. She didn't seems concerned and referred me to an ENT over the phone who cannot see me until Nov. 27th. So I guess it is no big deal but I would sure hate to have...
Hi everyone! I have gone back to my counselor and am practicing the biofeedback thing again. I'm definately having symptoms but I know that with time and practice I can get things calmed down again....
Practice relaxation techniques daily and enjoy, even if you have to start out by faking it. Force yourself to go out and be busy. You might find that several hours or even days have gone by without...
...
I talked to my primary care physician on the phone. When I'm not hit by these symptoms, I'm feeling fine. They hit so randomly and out of the blue. I just don't know if it is anxiety or something...
Something is going on. I don't know what. I called my doctor's office yesterday on Satureday and she called me at home. I told her what I was feeling and she said she didn't know but came into the...
UUHHMMMM..........And how do you explain the young lady repeating about 10 times that there was significant swelling and a deformity at the hip? Let me remember....oh yeah, there was NO swelling, NO...
My father is having a stent placed in his carotid artery this afternoon. He is 78. A two time cancer survivor with a larnyjectomy (SPELLING ?)-his voice box was removed due to surgery from the last...
I am sorry that I haven't been able to get on chat. I really want to but we are at the stables every night. My daughter does hunt seat and jumps. This weekend is her first competition. So we've been...
Hi Mike! I know what you are going through. They are no fun! These things usually cycle. They'll be bad for awhile-like days or weeks or even months. Then they just settle down and might even...
I'm 44 and have wondered before if it was flushing. I have checked my pulse and it shoots up a bit to around 110 which is really nothing. Also I can't tell if the sensation causes the racing or if...
I am having these unsettling feelings come over me today. It is a warm explotion type of feeling in the center of my chest/upper stomach area. It is immediately followed by a bit of a tingly feeling...
I have something unsettling happening. I am getting these fleeting sensations in the center of my chest/upper stomach area. It is a sudden warm explosion type of feeling. It causes me to feel tingly...
think my husband will be home. Then again he may be sleeping so that he can hit the 'rails' in the morning. It is too hard to figure out [b]his schedule. [color=#008000> 10minutes. Into my morning...
I wouldn't worry about[b] the disability issue. It is really hard to get. They make a pretty thorough investigation. So if you qualified, then you qualified. Take it and don't feel guilty about . My...
is usually associated with PVCs or PACs-ectopic beats. Beats which occur a bit too soon in the cycle. They are nothing to worry about[b] if your heart is structurally normal with all your tests you...
them. with lots of friends and family and always eating while visiting and playing? Foods at the family reunions or football games/bowling allyey/ballpark/etc... tend not to be the best. Since we...
A couple of hours after lunch: Have one, small fruit serving. Did you know that a serving size for grapes or strawberries or blueberries or watermelon is 1 cup but for fruit juice or canned fruit it...
It is really better to eat a little something 5-6 times throughout the day rather than just have 3 big meals. This helps to keep you blood sugars level throughout the day and keeps you from feeling...
Anyway after the birth of my daughter, my husband and I weren't really getting along well. I never did lose the weight and in a couple years was up to 190lbs. I was miserable, uncomfortable and...
I'm really kind of freaked out and afraid. I was tired this afternoon and decided to lay back on the couch to rest. I closed my eyes and began to drift off. Then suddenly I jumped up feeling like I...
Hi Emma! A premature ventricular contraction or PVC is where the lower pumping chamber of the heart pumps a bit too soon. You usually don't feel that because it is pumping out a slightly lower volume...
your experience with the cardiologist and ask them to refer you to someone else. Most will sympthize and help you get into someone else. You do not deserve to be treated badly or fluffed off. The...
What do you mean by palpitations because when I talk about having palpitations it is the PACs or PVCs that cause me to feel the irregular, extra, skipped or paused beats. ???...
though. Lots of people get those. They are very uncomfortable and annoying to some though! I have had them coming as often as that before, even more often and I am still here. (...
HI TammyGrl, I'm not a doctor or anything but I'll give you my opinion. However you still need to get to a doctor to find out for certain what is going on. I wouldn't be too worried about the heart...
Hang in there, Maxx. I completely understand what you are going through. It stinks. I was at a family picnic today having a great time when at the end of dinner, it felt like my upper and lower...
Bunny, What type of SVT do you have? I'm really surprised that they are going to do an ablation when you only get it once or twice a year. Most SVTs are not life-threatening. I get SVT also, but not...
Thanks guys! They did just do bloodwork and everything was normal. I guess I'm just in that part of the palpitation cycle but I think things are beginning to quiet down a bit....
Hey, Maxx! In fact, things are better today! I am so thankful! Hope it holds out for awhile! Here's wishing you a Palp Free Day! /community/emoticons/smile.gif ...
I have had multiple EKGs, nuclear stress tests, echos, 24hr monitors and month long holters as well as a 64slice CT scan last year. I have also had 2-3 abdominal scans and finally a HIDA scan....
Katelyn, You certaintly have been through alot. I am glad that you are doing better. You are a very strong person. I've had these delightful palps for 5+yrs now. I still hate them. I go through...
LOL! Sometimes the hard coughing works for me and sometimes it won't. [color=#008000> [color=#008000> I just hope it settles down SOON! ...
Hi fellow palp sufferers. /community/emoticons/smile.gif I am really not feeling very happy these day. For the last 8 weeks or so, I have been having these palps every day. I am getting really tired...
I don't mean any offense by this but I think that the nurse in your Primary Care Physician's Office should keep her mouth shut. There is no way that she is qualified to make the diagnosis that she...
panicking but it was just not worth the trouble. In case I haven't mentioned this fact before, let me just say right here and now that I HATE THESE THINGS! Oh well....I'm done now....
Have you been checked out for these palpitaions? Do you have a structurally normal heart? If so, then they will not harm you. Ask you doctor what insignificant changes in your EKG means and ask why...
