by the way, panic attacks can start at anytime, out of the blue, even when you are asleep. I have waken up in the middle of the night with chest pain and an extemely high heart rate, then gone to the...
hello, panic attacks can be very scary. If you have been to the ER so many times, I assume the doctors have checked everything and ruled out anything that could hurt you. I assume, but you should...

by the way, doing extreme sports like you have... If you consume energy drinks, get a little dehydrated or both at the same time can cause erratic heart beats... If I drink a caffeinated drink and...
glad you can still do those active things you love to do, I was a runner and weight lifter, also love hiking. the aneurysms have stopped all that for me, not the palpitations.....
You will definately know if you are in a-fib, just sitting down you can see my chest shaking from the erratic heart beat. When in a-fib my heart is beating at 180-over 200 beats per minute and...
just came across this Post, I have the same problems. I'm a jogger too. I am 37 and just had an ablation back in July for atrial fibrillation. I have not had afib episodes any more after the...

I know very well how powerful just a walk in the park is for anxiety. I go for a walk and tune my phone into my charlie brown themed piano jazz pandora radio station. I have alot of heart issues that...
thanks for the reply... Iv had injections in my back, not spinal injections, cant do that on blood thinners, iv had deep tissue massage and injections directly into the knots to try and release them...

I have thousands a day, up to 30,000 when they happen every 2-3 beats. might last 3-4 days then not have but several hundred a day for a couple weeks. Its a cycle and when I dont sleep well or get...
Sometimes no trigger at all for me, just happens out of the blue. Will have a very good day going on and BAM!!! here we go again, then the anxiety starts and a good day goes to a very bad day in a...

anxiety is a whole other problem to treat and I dont want to do it with medication, I can beat it, but i still carry Xanax with me for severe attacks that shoot my BP up so high it could affect the...
I hear ya, very hard sometimes. Iv had to just lay down an take a nap at times to shake off the anxiety. Since iv had the ablation back in july, I have more PVCs than ever, but no A-Fib.. that eases...
definately! when you focus on them you just sit and wait for them to happen.. I will do something to get my mind off of them, usually hiking or joging, but just a leisurely walk in the park or around...
most of the general population that have PVCs dont even feel them or notice them, but when they become aware of them, it startles them and they usually start to feel them all. I have thousands of...

sorry, hit the button twice.... LOL, by the way, I am not on blood thinners any more, since the ablation.....
If you keep having A-Fib episodes, and your doctor suggest an ablation, I would definately have it. A-Fib can cause blood clots. I had an ablation back on July 10, 2013 and I don't have any more...
