    Yes jayne24241...I have been in distress for the past couple of days...you need to get a Oxygen meter cost about $35 dollars at any drug store...it will tell your oxygen level and pulse rate...sometimes mine will go over a hundred...but when I sit for a while and look at the computer it goes down fast....I hop i helped you with my answer...

    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.
