Hi

Have you looked at POTS?

Hi Mandy,

I feel very sorry yoiu are going thru this.  I have multiple benign ectopic beats. Depending on what I have eaten it can be extremely constant and often - like an ectopic beat twenty times in a minute and quite erratic   Just a thought - can you keep a diary of what you are eating and see if they are worse after eating certain foods - even coffee and tea.  Do you have gut problems associated with this.  Apparently this association between gut and heart is quite common.  But how to fix it?  Ke.ep trying to solve your problems.  Push through. Good luck

Hi Mandy I also had problems for 35 years seeing various cardiologists I had an ablation on Monday after sourcing a good Electrophysiologist who pin pointed the problem area you need to find an Electrophysiologist in your area and get a holter to monitor the heart. Good luck!

Hullo Mandy

                   I know how desperate you must be feeling.My experiences as follows...............For years now I have suffered  from episodes of extreme anxiety for which I take pills. Three years ago I started having (what turned out to be) Benign  Ventricular Ectopics. Benign means I'm not going to drop dead with them!!!. Have had all the tests, seen different cardiologists etc etc The ectopics  are utterly debilitating.The thing is, the condition is ALWAYS  worse first thing in the morning  Comes on with consciousness and , like you My bowels continually open and run like a tap. Also I feel sick and cannot eat anything.  I said to my Dr 'it must be body chemistry causing it' and he said yes.What causes the anxiety  causes the ectopic heart beats.   ? too much adrenaline. Cardiologist said there is nothing can be done about it.  I have to say the bouts of ectopics come for weeks then stop for weeks  then return etcetc. You are right.....when you are wearing the holter thingy they disappear.  Sods Law.

Have you figured out your problem yet? I have the exact same symptoms and they freak me out! 

I'm having something similiar.  When I wake in the morning and begin to move my legs my heart rate increases way too much.  If I remain still, it goes back down.  I have to slowly move my legs around for ten minutes or so before standing or my heart rate will go up to 145. I do have SVT but am not convinced this is SVT because usually with SVT my heart rate will stay high even when I lay back down.  I've also noticed slightly tingling in my feet when I finally stand up.  After I get up I seem pretty normal all day.  I can lie in bed for an hour or two and watch tv and then jump out of bed with no problem.  This is just happening when I first wake up.  My legs feel weird too when I first get up.  Kinda heavy and weak at the same time.  I am wondering about Cortisol and adrenal issues.  So hard to figure it out.
