Saw the doc about my pulse rate, semi not good news
It is looking that I have arrhythmia, (irregular heartbeat). I wore a heart monitor yesterday and had it on for 24hours. I have to go back Monday to get it back on for 48 hours.
What is very weird about my situation is that when I run/workout it goes into a semi normal rythmn. So sometime this week I have to get a test where I am on the treadmill and have my heart monitored at the same time.
I do know that I will start some meds after the 48hour monitor, if they do not work then I might possible have to have a pace maker. I am only 27 years old.
Has anyone had/have any experince with this?
Re: Saw the doc about my pulse rate, semi not good news
DH has SVT (supraventricular tachycardia) - basically he had an extra node in his heart that would cause his heart rate to go through the roof. (like 200+ bpm) .
He discovered it has a young kid, but growing up his family didn't have the money to have it fixed, and it really didn't affect his day-to-day life.
It started to become more prevalent in 2006/2007. The "Attacks" were more frequent, and they lasted longer. They would leave him feeling nauseous and exhausted.
really long story short - we finally caught the attack on the holter monitor and his cardiologist set him up with a surgeon who did an ablation.
That was 5 years ago (wow time flies). He doesn't take any meds & he hasn't had an attack since.
ETA: He was 25 at the time - they also told him that he could end up w/ a pacemaker.
TTC #1 since May 2010. BFP #1 - 5/31/10; m/c on 7/22/10
Started seeing RE in August 2011
5 IUIs: BFN; IVF #1 - Success! BFP - 7/25/12
I have SVT's, and sometmes palpitation/missed beats. I can feel them which can be scary, and they were confirmed with a holter monitor study a couple years ago. Structurally my heart is fine, except for some very mild mitral valve prolapse, and I passed the stress tests with flying colors.
Same as the PP, my doctor said he'd treat if I were like 60 years old or a smoker, but he's not worried about it now. I go every 6 months for a check up. As long as I stay extremely well hydrated, consume enough salt, and avoid caffiene I'm symptom free.
Good luck with your testing. I hope it the findings are benign.
I have PVCs that also go away while I'm working out. I was diagnosed 1.5 years ago when I was 29.
The doctor and I decided against meds because of my asthma, so I try to control it by controlling my diet and stress level.
It was scary and nerve wracking while I was going through the testing. But I think not knowing exactly what was going on was way worse. I did the treadmill test and they did a couple of sonograms, once before the treadmill and again right after.
Good luck with your testing.
