Hiya, that is a scary feeling. Sometimes these things happen for no reason at all. How did you treat it? I find that somethings just don't get it up and staying there at all. Take care, maxx...
Kudos Hope, I've quit trying to find out why? I am not going to let them run my life or stop me from doing anything at all. They will pass, and I will be fine. Maxx...
Hiya Melanie (&Hopes), I don't have SVT, mainly ectopics. I'm also surprised they are doing the ablation. Did you get a second opinion? I think (Melanie) that what I'm afraid of, is dropping...
Hi Bunny, I would love to try hypnotherapy. I can't wait to hear what it does for you, and I hope it works. I myself, have tried meditation and yoga. It seems to help. You are dead-on with "keeping...
Hi Bunny, They really have an effect on my life. I feel that they totally isolate from others as I'm always on guard. I feel like a winer when I say that nobody understands - but they don't. Unless...
Hiya Hopes, are they better today? I hope so. I get to the point where I can almost cry. I am sick of obsessing with these "things", and living from cardio appoint to the next one. Then, I get days...
Hi Hopes, I feel bad for you, and I know how frustrating they can be. Remember, they wont kill you, and anything that can't kill you makes you stronger! Have you talked to your cardio about the...
Hi Lori and Annie, Lori, I hope you get some good news; please post and let us know. I seen the EP after I wore the loop monitor for 2 weeks - "nothing to worry about , but we can repeat it in three...
Thanks Kaylee. The info was great! MAXX...
Hi Kaylee, thanks! The only heart problem I have is a mild murmur (I have had all the tests), and the PALPITATIONS!!! What is Nadolol, and what does it do to stop the palps? Thanks again to everyone....
Thanks Hope. It must be great having a cardio that you can relate to I really need to calm down as I feel that I am totally turning into a neurotic basket case. The scenerio keeps repeating itself. I...
Thanks. The way it felt was like it stopped and stared! I'm going to the doc Thursday. Thanks!...
Thanks Lyn, I have had all of the heart tests, and nothing serious has shown. The problem is, do you run every time it happens or learn to ignore them. Thanks Lyn....
Sorry Jeannie, I have no idea how I did that! I will fix it (Ihope)! Hopes, I think you can totally relate to what I am going through. You are also a wealth of information to all who share this post....
Thanks Dreamgirl, It just felt like it stopped. I have no idea what it was (extra, missed), who knows? Thank you for your support, your note was uplifting and had many positive thoughts. Could have...
Okay here's my rant: Had appointment last week with cardio, everything was"benign". After suffering from palpitaions for years I decided - enough, I will live my life ignoring them (everyone says...
I'm with both of you my friends! I actually had one of those loop monitors for 3 weeks, recorded them, went to the electro...... - Yes they're there (says he); but they are benign, so we wont treat...
Sounds like she has everything under control. I have been unsure of travelling and would love to go further than I have. I actually have heard of people going through 2 time zones, and another who...
I'm with you AMM. Even with the ups and downs, I still feel 100% better on the pump. After 27 years of juggling insulin, life is good. Tried Lantus once since I went on the pump - felt awful. MAXX...
Hi Lori, you have been through so much, I can understand why you're so calm with these. What is Myositis, and what does the cardioligist suggest if it is the electrical conduction? It's easy for them...
Hi Lori, mine last for days, on and off. I am actually going to see a cardiologist on Friday who specializes in the electrical conduction of the heart. I am trying not to sweat them anymore;...
Hi Lori, Is 120 for a heart rate high for you? Mine actually feel like extra or missed beats. They drive me nuts! What do you think they will find with the disposable monitor that they could'nt find...
Hi Lori, Is it showing anything yet? I can't seem to get mine "caught" on any kind of holter! Good luck with it, though I've never heard of it! MAXX...
Hi, I find it really strange to switch back to Lantus - I actually don't feel well! I wonder if its psyco............... I like travelling with the pump and I've done a lot of it (especially if...
Hi Bella, stay calm. From what I know, many people have arrythmias and live with them. The fact that your echo was good is great news. At least its nothing structural. Please keep in touch. Maxx...
Bella, that is good news that he found it and is doing something about it. Sure, and echo would pick up the arrythmia, provided it was going on during the echo. Stay positive, you are on the right...
Way to go Lisa! I am so happy to hear that. It is amazing what a virus can do to you. I was even saying yesterday that when I get the flu my palps are awful. Stay healthy and happy. MAXX...
Hi Elisha, Interesting diagnosis. Elisha, can you exersize, and does it stop you from doing anything that you would like to do? Praying/meditating does help. A trick I try is to let it scare me for 5...
I think that being able to cope and understand is a fair request. That's how I feel - I really just want a diagnosis. I can go for weeks feeling fine - then the symtoms start, and I get scared out of...
Hi Lisa, good luck tomorrow, and please post. I have a new cardio appointment with a specialist in arrythmias next Friday. They are so bad right now I want to scream. I have had a touch of a virus,...
Hi Lisa, hang in there, and try not to worry. Lisa, when you are on a 30-day event monitor, do you take it off at all. My cardio is ordering one, and I am curious. My palpitations have been horrible...
Hi Million, that's how I went on it. Met a mother and daughter! I feel so much better on the pump than I did on injections. I do find that when it goes up, it really goes up (as there is no long...
You should be invincible by now!...
I really don't believe that diabetes causes disabilities. I know many people without diabetes, and there are lots of children with various degrees of disabilities out there. Sounds like youre a great...
Glad she's ok. Were you diabetic during your pregnancy (s)? I was, and I really had no problems; both kids are very healthy. MA...
Jeannie, come along - it's a big plane! MA...
I am also going to the UK (Glasgow), this summer. I think it might be easier than travelling with the long acting insulin. I went to Glasgow last year (pre-pump) and it took me a couple of days to...
Has anyone travelled with a pump? MaryAnn...
I get the same comments. I was totally worn down by the reactions I was having. I feel great! MA...
Enjoy your lunch, and please stay in touch. We all need support now and then. MA...
I also was having extreme lows (and eating non-stop). You will feel better, it's a given. I swam in the Bahamas - I took it off. I think (from my experience), it is safe to go about an hour without...
HI, I have been a diabectic for about 27 years as well! I test around 6 times a day. It is amazing how quickly it lowers your bs's ; I also find it great when I am working out (cardio or weights). It...
Hi Mary, I think it is perfectly normal to still feel a couple after starting the meds (but always check with the doc). I took it for a couple of weeks and they increased dramatically, my bp dropped...
Congratulations on being on the pump! You will love it (even with the ups and downs). How did you know you had a leak in your tubing? I have been on the pump for a year after being diabetic since I...
Hiya, I have been diabetic for 25 years - started on the pump a year ago. It is a lot of work in the beginning, but soon becomes second nature. The only real highs I get right now is when there is a...
Any idease? MA...
Great advice. I envy people that are not like this. It is obsessive compulsive disorder. What else could it be. We just go from symtom to symtom. Is this any fun? No! We need to help each other calm...
