bradycardias palpitations?

Palpitations usually do not mean that you have a significant heart problem. Causes might be:\n- problems in the electric conduction of the heart\n- low blood sugar\n- excessive use of stimulants (coffee, cola, tea, cigarettes, antidepressants)\n- anxiety\n\nYou have tell to your doctor:\n- when your palpitations occur and how long do they last\n- whether any other symptoms are present \n- do you use any stimulants or medications  \n\nCheck the links in the source.

you probably had a type of palpitation called a PVC or PAC- your heart just beats a little too fast and gets ahead of itself. lots of people get them, theyre harmless unless you have an underlying problem like a heart defect. if you just get one here and then that's pretty common and youre fine. if youre getting quite a few, youre still probably fine but should get it checked out just to be on the safe side. \n\ni have them bad, i literally get thousands some days, it sucks. they still scare me some even though im pretty use to them by now...

Possibly.  And it is something that needs to be checked.  We use the same technique in patients that are experiencing a heart attack.  We call it the brady method.  When someone is having a heart attack, we tell them to cough forcefully or to bear down as if to have a large bowel movement.  This coughing process slows the heart rate, which would explain your sudden dizziness.  As for the headaches and the chest pain, that is quite understandable, since you are exerting high amounts of pressure on those muscles.  When you feel the cough spells coming on, see your doc and ask about a cough syrup such as guaiffennisen because one of these days, your coughing episodes may literally cause you to pass out, and if you are driving at the time, well, I don't need to tell you how dangerous that can be.

Heart palpatations.  The heart beats irregularly when super excited.

You need to see a doctor, and they will probably either:\n1)Put a 24-hour heart monitor on you if it happens daily.\n2)Put an event recorder on you that you can keep for up to one month to capture the fast heartrate and see what it looks like.\n\nIf you do not have any symptoms such as shortness of breath, low blood pressure, or dizziness during it, that's good.  Still need to find out what it is.\n\nI would see a cardiologist or electrophysiologist, who specializes in abnormal heart rhythms.  They are experts in this stuff.

I had this too, so i went to my doctor who sent me to get the 24 hour monitor attached to my chest. It turned out to be ectopic heart beats, i have tablets for it, i don't need to take them really but it stops me feeling the missed beats which is what i didn't like. I was told not to worry about it, but when it's your heart you do worry. The only time i feel it now is when I'm really tired. Don't be afraid, go to the doctors and get it checked. I'm 43 and I've had it for about 10 years. Being overweight doesn't help either, so if you are then try losing a bit. Hope this is of use to you.

The term is a "premature ventricular contraction"  (aka PVC).  It is common and benign.  Although it feels like your heart stops, the large part of your heart actually beats earlier than it was supposed to have....then the signal comes through to tell it to beat...but it doesn't beat because it needs to reset after having just beat....then there is a slight pause until the next signal comes down telling it to beat.  It resumes completely normal function thereafter.  If you have many of these episodes or if you become light-headed or dizzy with them, then you should get it checked.  Otherwise it requires no medical attention.

I dealt with a similar thing in college.  My heart irregularly papitated and it really disturbed me.  It would race up for no reason.  \n\nThings I did to reverse the problem:\n\n-Reduced my caffeine intake (caffeine has the potential to make your heart race)\n-I had an EKG study on my heart...it was normal\n-I got plenty of sleep at night\n-Realizing that the majority of my irregular heartbeats were contributed from Anxiety. \n-I began to pray for wisdom with this problem.\n\nAs for feeling your heartbeat after you eat, you will.  When you eat, your body has a lot of gas exchange during the whole digestive process.  The same gas that will make you belch or fart "pass gas" after a meal.  I noticed a lot of pressure in my heart area and discovered that the problem wasn't my heart, it was gas.  I suggest taking a TUMs or some kind of anti-acid to help reduce the gas, which should reduce the pressure around your heart after meals.  Lots of soft drinks, carbohydrates, junk food will bring on gas.  Try to stay away from those foods....I know, that's a hard thing to do if you're in college.  Junk food was everywhere when I was in college.  \n\nAbove all, if you have health insurance, use it.  Go see your doctor and ask him what's best.  He'll be able to tell you what anti-acid medicine you should take.  \n\nDo you have a lot of acid reflux?  \n\nI hope my advice helps ease things a little better.  \n\nGood luck and remember...I'm not an expert.  What I say is just a suggestion from past experiences.  If you're that worried about the heart beats, go see a doctor.

Check out the website below, very good information:\nSinus bradycardia occurs when the hearts rate is slower than 60 beats per minute. The sinus bradycardia rhythm is similar to normal sinus rhythm, except that the RR interval is longer. Each P wave is followed by a QRS complex in a ratio of 1:1. The PR interval is often slightly prolonged and occasionally, the P-waves might be abnormally wide. \n  The symptoms of sinus bradycardia include dyspnea(shortness of breath), dizziness, and extreme fatigue. Bradycardia may be accompanied by an increase in stroke volume due to greater end diastolic pressure (preload). The pulse volume may be greater due to a greater stroke volume and an increased diastolic run-off time (longer time for blood to flow away from the heart). A bradycardia may be a normal physiological phenomenon or result from a cardiac or non-cardiac disorder. \n\nGood Luck, I hope your daughter is doing well.

The lightheadedness and difficulty breating can be side effects of the racing heart. If ur not having panic attacks, u should go to ur dr and find out what is making ur heart race.

Simply and briefly put, "tachycardia" means an extremely rapid heart rate, usually signified by a pulse rate of over 100 beats per minute (bpm). \n\nSo, Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS) is clinically defined as a heart rate increase of 30 bpm or more from the supine (laying down) to the standing position within ten minutes or less.

What you are experiencing is not a murmur, it is "palpitations".  It probably is an irregular heart beat, possibly something called "premature ventricular contractions" or "PVC's", but only a doctor can tell you for sure.  This is something that I would definitely see a doctor about.\n\nPVC's can often be greatly reduced by staying off caffeine and certain medications.  PVC's are only one possible cause of palpitations though.  You really should get this checked.\n\nYou can learn more about PVC's here:\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Premature_ventricular_contraction

Sounds like WPW sydrome, or atrial fibrilation.  Go to a cardiologist and get an EKG.

Yes, heart palpitations are somewhat related to PMS and your period. It is caused by increased amounts of estrogen. Also, if your on birth control pills this can do it too. Have you considered talking to your Ob/Gyn? \nI started noticing my palpitations years ago. Later, i was diagnosed with Mitral Valve Prolapse. Non-life threating. It happens to a lot of women from late twenty's to forty. But, keep in mind no one can diagnose you. It's best to consult with your doctor when it comes to something as important as your heart.\n\nGod Bless and Take care of yourself. No one can do that for you.

You may have PSVT which is a fast heart rate. It is very annoying and is scary when you feel it. It is treatable though. Do you drink /eat a lot of caffiene? (Cokes, tea coffee, chocolate?) Ask your doctor to put a Holter Monitor on you and see if anything shows up there. It is a 24 hour monitor you wear and it monitors your heart.  Good luck!

I get them too, and I seem to notice them at the same time you do -- maybe it's because we are finally resting or whatever, so they seems to stand out compared to when we are rushing about during the day.  I was told they can be from anxiety even if you aren't feeling especially anxious at that particular moment.  I got scared when they kept happening to me, and that's what my doctor said she thought was causing it.  If you have had an EKG, though, I think you are pretty safe.  I'm sort of glad to know I'm not the only one!
