Irregular Heart beat

[ralphylad]

Now then guys, on Monday night I went to bed and noticed for the first time my heart was beating normally for around a minute then I get a massive beat which is like a surge through my body and can feel it in my head, its been happning every min - 5 mins since, Im not really worried as I am fit and have a docs appointment tomorrow but just wondered if anyone else has had a similar problem, its more annoying than anything.....AM I GOING TO DIE? lol

I have a heart murmer, They picked it up when I went in the army, Went for a spec med and they said I had a sticky valve? but still let me in so im guessing thats not a problem. I somtimes get a feeling like you have described but not all the time just every now and then. I hope its all ok mate.

There is no such thing as a 'regular heartbeat'.

Don't worry, I bet you're as healthy as they come.

[Temeura]

I was under the impression that heart murmurs can kill you. Isn't that what killed the borough player a few years ago

[simmy]

What gear you takin? lol...It wont be serious but i'd see your doc mate...

[Pinhead]

I wouldn't worry about it. I get those ever so occassionally too -perhaps brought on by something I've eaten due to the irregularity in them. I know of tons of people who get that. Like someone said above - it's normal to experience such things.

Saying that (and because I'm not doctor or expert) - always best to get a professionals opinion on it. My sister had REALLY bad pulpatations up until about 6 months ago, to the point where she needed an ambulance each time they came on. Even then, they said at her age she wouldn't die from it, but it could have affected her at an older age.

She took the operation option 6 months back, and the procedure is amazing. You stay awake for it, under drugs obviously, and they use the same method they use to put stents into valves (using an artery from the inner thigh) - it's all really easy these days.

You'll be fine dude from the initial sounds of what you're having.

as much cocaine as you can afford and a greasy burger each day should sort you out, dude.

*sorry to hear this - hope it's good news at the doc's.

Dunno what killed the boro player, but we all have heart murmurs and irregular heartbeats it's just that most of us go through life without having them diagnosed, so I suspect there was more to his case than that.

If you die, can I have your stuff?

Really? I do get very strange feeling if i train hard to be honest. Like my heart stops every 10 secs for a few beats, well thats how it feels anyway

Haha but that's dark. He might still be at the hospital.

i get palpitations sometimes. my heart is healthy tho. Its quite an uncomfortable sensation. its something to do with the electrical firing of the atrioventricular or sinoarterial nodes which trigger the contraction of the heart. Its to do with how those signals travel or when theyre triggered, but doesnt mean you have a heart problem sometimes jus means you get an uncomfortable sensation like ur heart is beating hard or fast. I wouldnt worry but get exercise ECG to put ur mind at rest. avoid overtraining as well tht can raise ur resting heart rate by about 10 beats a min sometimes and if u get palpitations or whtever might aggrivate it.

welcome helenbro

Dude, go see a doctor. My cousin dropped dead playing footy when he was sixteen from an undiagnosed congenital heart defect.
He was a nice kid and it completely fucked his family up.

[ralphylad]

Doc on Monday for ECG, wondered if the Potassium and Sodium levels in maximuscle cyclone could be to blame....

[rockster]

So.......?
Any news?

[ralphylad]

Turns out I am a hypercondriact, ECG come back as irregular, took bloods (still waiting) pressure (normal) stood there scratching head for about 2 mins, "I dont know what it is" maybe cut out your protein drink, okay good day to you, come back if it gets worse"

I have the same condition man. Docs say it's pretty normal. Don't stress or panic about it as adrenaline agitates your heart and the condition. Just try to chill out and live sensibly. then you wont really notice i at all. Still get it checked out though as if it's related to a couple of other things it could be a little problematic.

[Jimmy Boogaloo]

that's it for me and internet sympathy

Could be first degree heart block, its an irregular heart beat found in many sports people where in effect the heart shuts down when not needed and the big whoosh you get is the first returning beat.
When I was a student I needed money and went to one of these research establishments to sell my body and let them test plasma expanders on me when they came round in the morning they had difficulty in finding my heart beat and thought their machine was bust but callede in the consultant who diagnosed it as first degree heart block and so I was unsuitable for the experiments as they required a steady heart beat to monitor. Of course I didn't get any money either

[ralphylad]

Ralph means old wolf just thought id mention that, the heart shutting down when not needed.......er.... when is the heart not needed apart from when you are dead!

I have a atrial fibrillation which I take medication for. Before I was diagnosed I would have a lot of pain across my chest and shoulders, and I could only manage shallow breaths. I also used to get really light headed and my heart would pound like a mofo. If I get a bought these days there is no pain, but I get light headed and out of breath easy - I feel a bit like a space cadet. However, since going vegetarian over two months ago I haven't had a bought since, so hopefully that keeps up.
