    Yes, Lesey, I had it.  Once I thoght I was having a heart attack - My heart was very irregular, I do not know the speed for I could not even count as confused I felt.  Could not breath, it was like my lungs were filled with air but the air was not crried through my blood (?!). Went to the doctor, he saw my heart was skipping beats and put on a holter.  Nothing wrong came up but for a period of about 4 to 6 months my heart was just very irregular, beating from 38 to 108 (bought a pressure metre, just to keep a track on it). One year ad a haf later, I still feel my heart sometimes, but nothing even close to that.  Still in peri, though, and I learned it is quite normal.  But always go to a doctor, just to be sure.  

    Be well
