Has anyone else here dealt with heart issues that show up as constant, heavy heart palpitations? I've been dealing with this for ten days straight now.
About ten days ago, out of nowhere, I started feeling these intense skips—like massive thuds in my chest—which I assume are extrasystoles. Sometimes they hit three times in a row, and the longest gap I’ve had between them was about 40 minutes, which was just enough time for me to finally drift off to sleep. I can manage to sleep through the night, though I honestly have no idea if the skipping continues while I'm unconscious.
To be perfectly honest, the last two years of my life have been incredibly draining and stressful due to some ongoing family issues, and I also carry a bit of a genetic predisposition; my grandmother suffered from angina pectoris, my mother has been on beta-blockers for about thirty years, and my sister deals with occasional palpitations too...🙄so there you have it.
I'm 28 years old, and by nature, I've always been a pretty high-strung, anxious person. Because of these occasional bouts of tachycardia, my therapist actually prescribed Normabel and Fever. At first, I assumed these skipped beats were just side effects from the Fever, but that doesn't seem to be the case since the sensations persisted even after I stopped taking it. After seeing a cardiologist, he put me on Nebilet, but despite being on it for seven days now, the symptoms haven't budged one bit!
My thyroid levels and EKG came back fine (though they did note some tachycardia), and I'm currently waiting on my Holter monitor results tomorrow, but the whole situation is driving me absolutely insane. You can probably imagine how 🤷
