weird heart beat
Posted , 4 users are following.
my wifes heart beat keeps acting strange
it speeds up slightly but the gap between the du-dum gets larger until they are almost metronomic
dum- dum- dum
which feels like the heart is beating twice as fast
i wish i knew what the medical names for the 2 beats are
lets say first beat is du and second is dum
giving du-dum the normal pair of beats we call a pulse and are counted as one.
"du" gets slightly faster and dum seems to lag and instead of being secondary or weaker dum becomes as strong as du so its as if its just du- du - du - du with regular lets say just under half second intervals between each noise
instead of du 0.25seconds dum 0.75seconds du 0.25 dum 0.75 etc
it becomes du 0.4s dum 0.4s du
like a drummer beating out a regular rythmn
sorry for going on but i wanted to make it perfectly clear what is happening and hope someone can tell me what its called
cheers

Not sure from your description and Im not a medical person,
but it sounds as though you are describing something called tachycardia.
If this is so then apart from visiting her Gp she needs to cut out any
stimulants like caffeine and alcohol.. Stress is another
enemy which would cause a fast heart beat. Drinking cold water
and cooling down seems to help to bring it back down to normal. The Gp would prescribe
a beta blocker type medication.
