get a second opinion from another doctor. this is really a medical question, so you should really get a doctor's answer.

You probably have PVCs/PACs, I've had them for a few years and I hate those @@#$@ so much. They feel like an extra beat, flip flop, or fast double beat right? I think its recommended that you be evaluated by a cardiologist to make sure you dont have any heart defects. The vast majority of cases though either just happen for no apparent reason, anxiety/stress related, potassium/calcium/magnesium imbalance in your blood, or a thyroid problem like they were saying. My doc theyre probably anxiety related too and I didn't think I'm anxious either. A lot of people say beta blockers work for them as well and my doc put me on one but it didn't do anything for me. Never tried an antidepressant/anxiety drug but some people say those have helped them, so go for it if you want. Mine seem to be triggered when I'm under stress, drink, dont get enough sleep, or drink too much caffeine. Exercise seems to reduce them for me, but everyone's triggers are different. You can check out the heart forum at medhelp.org a lot of people have them and have all kinds of weird tips and tricks you can try. I think the best thing to do if they really bother you is keep track of what triggers them and then avoid those triggers if practical.

When I was trying to get pregnant, my psychiatrist took me off of my antidepressants cold turkey.  I felt many of the same symptoms you explained.  Worried, I called my doctor again.  He did not want to put me back on the medication due to the possible risk to the baby.  I talked to my OB-GYN and she decided it was in my best interest to go back on the medication.  I went back on it under her supervision.  I am feeling normal again.  Depression is a imbalance in hormones in the brain.  Anti-depressants fix the problem.  I would definetly talk to your doctor.

PLEASE talk to your doctor ASAP or contact the hospital, for advice, while it maybe normal to feel a little weird when starting a new medication, it is not normal to feel faint, tingly, heavy chested and wanting to  or falling into a deep sleep.\n\n\nAtenolol may cause side effects. Tell your doctor if any of these symptoms are severe or do not go away:\n\ndizziness\nlightheadedness\ntiredness\ndrowsiness\ndepression\nupset stomach\ndiarrhea\n\nSome side effects can be serious. The following symptoms are uncommon, but if you experience any of them, call your doctor immediately:\n\nshortness of breath\nswelling of the hands, feet, ankles, or lower legs\nunusual weight gain\nfainting\n\n\nI don't wish to alarm you but I has a similar experience with another  drug, and at the time I had no idea that I had a major allergic reaction, all similar to the symptoms you have described. I eventually passed out, (no one could wake me, and I was barely breathing) in the middle of my 40th birthday party (not one drop of alcohol, passed my lips). But I seriously did not think it was all that serious until, I spoke to my doctor the next day. \n\nSo do speak to some one sooner rather than later.

Talk with your physician or psychiatrist, there are many new meds out there available to try.  You always want to give 3-4 months on a trial though, because it takes that long to get into your system and work, if it is going to.  There are Lexapro, Wellbutrin, Cymbalta, Symbayax, Effexor, to name a few.  Some have anti-anxiety properties too, so talk with your doctor and give them a try.  Best wishes =)

I would talk to a doctor about it, it could be related to tension and stress...

I'm not saying that this is what it is....but sometimes it can be something related to your heart. Your heart is beating so fast that you sweat. It could be hormones....making you have hot flashes...it could be an electrolyte imbalance. All of which are important and I would consult your MD.

You don't know why you are having the hot flashes. It could be a hormonal imbalance, or it could be your thyroid, or any number of things. It could be psychosomatic, go see your general practitioner before panicing about your future fertility.

Hi, I am sorry to hear this.  You didn't state if this has always happened to you or not?!  If it is something new you are experiencing then I would really speak to a Doc.  Sometimes a load of stress in other areas of your life can make you heart race and do funny things.  It isn't uncommon to have panic attacks when stressed or nervous.  There are probably a lot of options out there to help you with out taking meds. I would really talk to your family doctor as soon as you can, just to make sure there isn't something majorly wrong.  Take Care of yourself and remember you are the best judge of yourself and what you need.  Sending you lots of smiles :) :) :)

You need to get back to the doctor pretty damn quick.  I was on anti-depressants.  It took about 3 weeks for me to start to feel better, i.e. more positive, wanting to talk to people again, go for a walk etc.  I was on them for quite a long while, they worked for me.  I think you need to change yours, speak to your doctor about all your 'worries, fears, anxieties'  I feel for you, I hope you get the help you need.  Life is for living.

Yes, definitely see your doctor. Anxiety, depression, ADD, and the like are complicated and are many times just the body and brain reacting to either an inherent or temporary chemical imbalance. Stress, in general, can hurt your arteries regardless of your coronary health.  You may also have a sleep disorder that you are unaware of. \n\nI had funny things happening in my chest and it scared me to death. The problem actually went away, but the doctor said that it was a normal expression of abnormal stress. It wasn't even a rough period I was going through. Although he didn't put me on medication, you may need it, and there are plenty of good, tested over time, anti-depressants/antianxietal drugs such as Wellbutrin XL that are for people who are dealing with anxiety but are still quite able to function in day to day life. So, no Prozac or Zoloft would be needed here... \n\nbut DEFINITELY go to the doctor to eliminate anything regarding your coronary system. But, like I said, if you are in good health otherwise, don't jump to conclusions about your heart and follow your intuition: Yes, it is possible to have mild anxiety all the time. You are not crazy, you are normal, and there are things that will help you...

Yes I have been going through the same thing. I bought an antihistimane and some generic claritan I am starting to feel better.

There are two ares you need to review carefully.\n\nFirst be sure you have not started any new medicines or herbs since the time the problem began.  You could be having a medicine reaction or one caused from mixing medicines or medicine and herbs.  Certain herbs do not go well with some medicines and even other herbs.  A pharmachist may be able to help answer quesstions or some in-depth research of what you are taking and their possible inter-actions with other medicines.\n\nSecondly, (if the first part does not help) you need to be more aggressive in finding out the problem.  Panic attacks are a problem, but they are only a second problem not the main problem.  Don't let anyone try to fix the panic problem and leave you with the real root problem.  \n\nMy mom and aunt both had this problem.  It took about year of going to specilists to find the root of the problem.  Several doctors claimed one thing or another and gave them medicine, but it did not fix the problem.  That is because most doctors are looking for a quick fix or treat women as panic emotional beings that a tranquilizer will do the trick.  Well, IT WILL NOT in most cases.  There is a problem and it can be solved.  Chemical emblance in the body that can effect the nervious system and or the brain, is often the problem, but not always.  It is true there are many causes, but finding the right answer for you make take some time.  If you are very lucky you might find the right answer right away, but realize this is not the usual occurance.  So, perserverance and going to additional doctors is often the course of actions tha has to be taken.\n\nThe problem is not likely to go away on its own (unless you can pin point a combination of medicines or herbs as the problem). Check into specialists in nervious system, brain functions, Miglinate Hypertension (a not-so-common blood pressure problem), and surpising enough a diet specialist.  All these may need to be contacted in order to isolate and identify the cause of the problem.  When you get the right answer you will know it because they will likely be able to treat it.  \n\nIt is unlikely that is is brain tumor, but it should not be ruled out without proper testing.  A doctor dealing with brain function can look at that plus chemical reactions in the brain itself.\n\nIf you settle for less the doctors will be happy, but you may still be in the same condition.  Good luck.

Menopause is quite stressful and it is good that you are well informed about this problem. Your husband should have treated you with compassion and adjusted with your problems. I hope you might be taking these two tablets one each daily:\n1.Tab Menopace\n2.Tab Shellcal\n\nI think you are unaware about the fact that males also have menopause type of period in the same age because of hormonal disturbances. They have all the same problems what you have except the hot flashes. You can very well imagine his mental state.\n\nPlease visit webmd.com and both of you should collect information about the problem of male and female menopause. \n\nPlease be considerate with him… he is in need of compassion from you as you do from him… \n\nSit together and talk… All the best for you lovely couple…
