So my HR is up again. I went up 6 flights of stairs this morning (which I do every morning) and my guess is it was around 160-180 bpm. Even resting, it is still 90-120 bpm. I am feeling the palps less but they are still present and the PVC's, although the PVC's do not seem to last as long and seem to be closer to normal beats (the time isn't as long).


This morning it felt like someone scrapped the inside of my chest wall, not the whole thing but kind of where and I was sore but only in my chest/rib area. My chest in that area feels very heavy as well.



My regular GP checked my thyroid and electrolyte levels yesterday and did ECG and listened to my heart. I should have the test results back by Friday. I have been very thirsty. Nothing quenches my thirst and I have been urinating more volume it seems than I am drinking. Yesterday I was bad and I didn't eat for several hours. When I got home my HR was 116 and then I ate a much needed apple and oatmeal and it went down to 85. Does this mean I'm diabetic?

Anyone else get thirsty for days during a herx???

Usually I do not feel much of a difference when I eat but I hadn't eaten for hours so.... Part of me wonders if I should go to the ER if it doesn't get better just for piece of mind plus the doc did give me that "talk" about go to the ER if you have chest pains (which they have to do for liability)

opugirl,

I had a lot of the same things happening to me.. The doctors found that the valves of my heart were not closing all the way because of the lyme. My cardiologist explained it to me like seaweed being stuck to the valve and it just didn't close all the way. I had very similar symptoms to you. We were not sure if my valves would need to be replaced, but as I began getting better, the symptoms subsided. (It was over a year later).

AS for eating that apple on an empty stomach though... apples have a lot of sugar, and they spike the blood sugar. Thus, your lyme will thrive, as will yeast, if you have a problem with it. Diet is huge with lyme. As you kill off more lyme and yeast, you develope more toxins and ammonia, and increasing your symptoms.

My daughter seems to hae sugar issues due with her lyme, seems she has bouts of hypoglycemia. She has to eat every 2 hours, especially when she has her period and when she is ovulating. And we found out this was due to her MTHFR gene mutation! Which also caused adrenal and thyroid issues! Have you had this test done? I believe we talked about it, but I can't remember if you did. It can also cause issues with the heart...

No I haven't had it done. I will ask my doc about it in 3 weeks when I go. My thyroid test did come back normal so that is good.

I'm glad to hear that your heart issues have been resolving! Thank you for responding. It eases my mind so much hearing that other people have gone through the same things.
