Chest issues ramp up around same time daily?

It would make sense to me since the spirochetes have a life cycle that they could create a cycle within us.

Rikki,
Like suggested by jrpsf, monitoring what is happening at that moment is so important. Often it isn't racing at all....

I had true "racing" last summer when I would deal with Hashimoto's flares - tachycardia (over 100) and high episodes of BP. Didn't know about the parasite load or lyme in my body at the time. I got the true racing under control with magnesium.

Since treating Lyme, I get the flutter or feeling like my heart is rolling down a staircase sometimes. Like jrpsf, it is LOW pulse and lower BP. Actually, since beginning parasite treatment 2 months ago, I no longer have a fast pulse or high BP...not once.

So start by keeping track of pulse and BP - i bought a fingertip pulse reader on a lanyard to keep with me, plus a BP monitor. Start seeing what is truly going on, then go from there.

One other tachycardia incident I had was from taking a large B-12 sublingual tab "on a whim" - not knowing my potassium level was low. It caused immediate tachycardia and was very scary. B-12 draws from potassium stores, so it made my already low potassium worse.

The vagus slows the heart rate, I'd look more into the circadian rhythm being altered which may be adrenal gland issues. Tough call on this one, I have no knowledge backing up my statement it's just what I would examine first.

For two years (including over a year prior to treatment) - my symptoms would ramp up everyday - late afternoon/early evening.

I called them 'flares'.

Lately, it has changed...I don't flare as much in late afternoon/evening ...but I feel worse earlier in the day...
So, now I feel moderately bad all day/evening...instead of okay during the first part of the day and worse in the later part of the day...

Don't know which I like better...lol
