Current Events > I'm sick of having undiagnosed heart problems.

(+) Yeah! (+)

I've been dealing with this shit since March. No doctors know what to do with me. I get really bad PVCs but they act like that should be benign. None of their tests show anything they consider to be a real problem.

Regardless they put me on Metoprolol which I took for a long time and hated, never made me feel any better. Finally switched to Diltiazem which really seemed to help a lot on the heart front, but then I just started feeling dizzy and having bad headaches all the time.

I just want to be normal again. I'm too young to need to be on this medication. I just came home from a lit wedding and I was actually dancing around a lot and feeling alright up until a point, then it felt like my heart was racing bad.

So I sat down and tried to let it slow down, but it never did. Sat there for a long time and I'm like my pulse still is over 100 bpm. Went outside away from the music and sat out there for a while, still no good. So I found the bride and groom and told them sorry but I need to go home, and I booked it out of there. I just felt like I needed to take my heart medicine again before it stops.

It's not like i was in physical pain either, but i just felt my heart racing and I'm thinking it's a muscle and eventually it's gonna give up and stop, so i can't just ignore it.

I might have forgotten to take it last night. I don't know, I can't remember taking it. I thought I did, but when I tried thinking back, I couldn't recall it. So maybe I didn't, and the lack of it is what made it all start coming together at that point.

It just sucks. I'm 30, I shouldn't be like this.

You can't be forgetting to take the pill that keeps you alive, man. We only have so many heartbeats.

Have the doctors ruled out dysautonomia?

Have you been stressed out lately? Are you in good shape?

Well, not sure, but that sounds like one of the things they tested me for at Mayo Clinic.

I didnt mention another part of this is that my muscles shake all the time now. I've been waiting for months to get an EMG to test that and finally it's coming up on Tuesday, very excited for that.

You should bring it up with your physician just to be sure one way or another. It's not that bad once you get used to it.

I'm sorry to hear that man. I've got an undiagnosed nerve/spine/brain thing going on and it blows. I hope they are able to figure it out and get you some help.
