Hello to you all.
I’m in a bit of a bad way at the moment.
Severe palpitations have been with me for about a week or so. Prior to this I hadn’t had any palps for months, six or eight months or so. The things that are really worrying me are the following…
I wasn’t feeling particularly stressed before the latest onset of palps. in fact, I’d been doing a good job of regularly jogging and had a resting heartbeat of about 56-58 bpm. I’d been eating healthily (for the most part) and have been drinking fresh green tea for a good six months now. So I’m a bit worried why the palps have returned.
I’ve had the tingling in the left arm too along with that awful feeling like your chest is going to burst when I get stressed BECAUSE of the palps.
Have just finished my MA and it’s been hard work but I really didn’t feel stressed before this bout of ectopics or whatever came around, but I have been really tired – sort of run down and busy with work, kids, etc. Plus, today some kind individual today started telling me how a friend of his dropped dead at 38 from a heart attack. I’m 37. He said that his friend was thin as a rake but had sky high cholesterol from a bad diet through his 20’s and 30’s. Now I eat healthily as much as I can but I’ve eaten some rubbish in my time (am now 5’ 11 weighing 11 and ½ st). Am really beginning to wonder if these palps are perhaps early signs of bad arteries, even though I’ve always been an active cyclist, runner and swimmer.
Am I being soft? Could these palps/ectopics be signs of heart problems? Could do with any level headed words.
Thanks in advance,
Dan
