hi all... just looking for someone who can relate and maybe advise on how to deal. I've had a heart obsession for a couple years now because of my constant chest pain and palpitations, racing then slowing down. Alcohol has been the culprit for it, because Im a heavy drinker. I have been to the cardiologist and did all tests, including an echo. I stopped drinking and was better but since the holidays I have been binge drinking and.... of course now my heart is feeling out of whack! It is racing.... for a few then slows way down.... or Ill have a couple of skipped thuds, but by the time I check my pulse, it feels regular. Its driving me nuts ... thinking Ive developed a dangerous arrythima and maybe need to be checked again??? While I experience these I get super dizzy and lightheaded.... like my brains not getting enough oxygen.... does anyone else experience this??
Hydrate!
Hi Christina - sorry you’re feeling unwell! I have had the same. Can you get beta blockers? Those always help me when I know that I need to slow my heart down a bit - or at least be less aware of it. I also have a heart obsession. Beta blockers have helps me a lot.
