So I’m drinking maximum of 60oz of water per day…slightly optimistic to see that maybe I’m low and this could be my “trigger” for my semi frequent PVCs because I have yet to identify anything else.
Anyone realize low hydration was a trigger? According to Google I should be at 80oz as a 160lb male..
Might explain why some days I have very few and some days I have several thousand?
Hello. I (F61) am wondering what kinds of arrhythmias cause a sudden drop in heart rate which I have been experiencing frequently for the past few weeks. At first I thought the feeling of pounding heartbeat meant my rate was increasing but then I got out an oximeter and saw that actually the rate was dropping. For example, I was washing dishes in the evening and felt that familiar flip flop in my chest. Checked the oximeter and at first my number was in the mid 80s. After a couple seconds it dropped to 53 and then to 44-43 where it stayed for about a minute all while I felt very strong palpitations. Then it went back up to the 60s and 70s and the pounding feeling went away. My GP had me do a week of a holter monitor (no results yet) and I’ll see a cardiologist later in the month. Just wondering what possible reasons there are for this so I can educate myself ahead of my meeting with him.
Hello, i am writting this post to share my experiences that happen from time to time now. This weekend since friday is a most likely first time i can't fall asleep for a third night in a row now. I couldn't sleep from thursday to friday so i called off from work, i've spent longer than usual watching some videos until 1 am and tried to sleep but nothing worked, i could just hear my heart beat really loud and tried deep breathing and relaxing but the longer it lasted the more sensitivity i've felt in my chest region, sometimes the chest itself would hurt which in turn made me think it's the hear which in turn gave me anxiousness and the cycle repeated itself incrementing the overall discomfort, although i might have semi-slept for an hour or so but basically no sleep on forward through the friday. From saturday to sunday i went to sleep a bit earlier still not feeling too sleepy but the same thing continued, this time i really tried to nourish myself with the right foods, drinking water, but it did not help. What was worse was that if i feel i could sleep i would try to but then this rush after im in a calm state would come over me and it felt like my heart would jolt, i knew my nervous system is basically in an unstable condition. I went out for a walk at 4 am for half an hour trying to relax myself with calm music and trying to sleep again but i maybe managed for a couple hours to semi-sleep. That day i had some errands to do and i managed to sleep for 5 hours during the day and had some good sleep but now at 6 am while im writting this post im just watching and listening to something boring to get me to be tired even more or distract me from the heart beat. The problem is not that the heartrate jumps up and down, it's more that the heart is pumping really hard, and my girlfriend at whose i spent the night maybe 2 weeks ago said that she could feel it pounding really hard.
I hope some of you can share your experiences and help me in any way to see how i could overcome my problems with sleep. Thank you.
