At least that is what they told me that is what I was having last night, after I spent 3 hours in the ER.
Heart palpitations -- an unusual awareness of the heartbeat -- is an extremely common symptom. Most people who complain of palpitations describe them either as “skips” in the heartbeat (that is, a pause, often followed by a particularly strong beat) or as periods of rapid and irregular heartbeats
I was hooked up to one of these. It was normal. |

So, for now, they tell me it is Heart Palpitations. Ok, I am good with that. I thought I was for sure headed to the OR for a bypass. Yah I know, a little dramatic. But bad hearts run in my family. Now, its time to work on a better diet, so I don't end up on that table in the OR bypassing 3, 4 or 5 vessels. At least my BFF was there with me to help pass the time, and of course there was always something interesting happening. :)

I am glad you are doing well. When I was pregnant with my 3rd I had really bad chest pains out of the blue. bad like had to pull over because it hit me so hard and I almost drove into someone HURT! and they said it was chest palpitations and anxiety...what?! I am so laid back...anyway I eat healthy and pray that it is not my heart...
How scary, glad everything turned out okay! :)
