Chest and lungs

since I have had Bronchictasis I have  had a few E C G done but they have all come back fine . Just wondered if sometimes any one of you get a quicker heart rate while excerting themselves I just walk upstairs and my heart seems to race quicker .

Hi ,yes ,I have ,I was taken to hospital from the gym with a suspected heart attack ,after many tests and over night in hospital I was told my heart had gone up due to over exertion at the gym ,,,,so now I keep a closer watch on my heart rate while I'm on the tread mill ,I to gave Bronchietis and asthma copd ,emphasyma, 

take it easy ,best wishes

Oh god bless Nanny , I was just a little concerned and sometimes when I lie down I feel like my heart skip a beat , now I have got Bronchicatis I will have to start thinking about my weight more...all the best to you x

Hi ,no problem ,going to pulmary rehab and weight watchers I lost just over 2 stone ,and going to the gym regular helps me stay that way, good luck, and try not to worry ,,,but it's always an idea to ask GP for a referral to pulmary rehab course ,hood luck ,

Of course ,,,,it should read GOOD LUCK ,

Hi Jayne  I have only had 1 episode of this heart thing  I thought I was going to faint

when I got off the bus.   I went to A & E and after several tests I was told it was 

Sinus Arrthymia  Something to do with the heart being unable to keep up with the breathing.  All to do with the Bronchiactisis  I have had Bronchactisis for the past ten years

Same thing happened to me ,,,,I was at the gym doing a pulmary rehab class ,rushed into Stoke hospital suspected heart attack ,,,,seems I had pushed myself you much ,,,after many tests including a

nuclear test ( horrible )  it seems it was all to do with my Bronchietis ,

Hi Marion I was only diagnosed with brochiectasis a couple of months ago I don't get many symptoms but I do get the heart beat thing and also tightening of the chest I wondered if that might have anything to do with the heartbeat wish you well .

Dont know your age Jayne but I am in my early 70s andhave had an irregular heartbeat for many years along with tight painful chest but always given the all cleAr & advised to stop doing so much. Been under a lot of stressasa carer the last few years and had a mini stroke 6 months ago. Put on blood thinners. Whethe the stroke or the meds I dont know... but since missing heart beats

for 30 years I now hav regular rythym. Just a thought.

You dont have to pump iron and push your energy to the extreme and put your body under stress to be fit. Good diet and plenty

of walking or regular gardening even is just as good. Hope you

improve.
