tachycardia

Was wondering how many of you have the racing heart. For me it is worse during the night and often wake up in a panic with extremely fast heartrate. What is the reason for this and what do you all do about it to bring it back to normal? Thanks!

Yup.

Racing heart about 7 hours after taking the abx, so about when abx reaches peak blood serum level. Lasts for 2-3 hours. LLMD has now pulled me from the abx, clarithro. I tried "pushing through" for 2.5 months and it led to no improvement in Lyme symptoms, but screaming nightmares.

Skipping heart - got that after 6 weeks on Diflucan daily, think it was a case of my body had had enough of it. Heart would skip for hours on end. These long episodes stopped when I stopped the Diflucan.

I still have skipping heart - right now my theory is my ferritin level. It's low, and only risen very little after systemic candida treatment. Even though lab reports say that "normal range" ferritin level is 13-150 (really big range when you think about it), some online research tells me it really should be 50-70 in order to be feeling well.

I do still wake up at night with a faster heartrate, but am talking elevated to 80-90, not over 120 like it has been.

I'm waiting for my LLMD to come back from vacation next week for a telephone consultation, but I was at the point where the heart stuff was outweighing the benefits of the meds I was on.

Sometimes it can be part of the body's "fight", sometimes it goes to far, and it's better to ease off the meds and talk to your doc. My two cents...

My daughter's doctor totally freaked out about her heart rate today. Resting was 110-120. Now he wants her to see a cardiologist. I don't want to mess around with her heart, but everything we have ever done as far as testing turns out normal. Funny that I should see this post tonight. . .. Her neurologist basically told us to choose between him and antibiotics or alternative--at which point he would write us a "dismissal letter." Sigh. . . . Why does this have to be so hard??!!!
