I was on medicine to keep me from passing out. Once I stopped passing out, I was off the medicine. Dysautonomia comes in waves. I wasn't on meds specifically for the palpitations. But when the fainting episodes calmed down, so did the palpitations. Everything claimed down on its own- the meds actually didn't keep me from passing out any less! They just helped me feel a bit better between episodes.
Did they just calm down on there own, or did the cardiologist give you something? I have read up on them and they don't really scare me, they are just uncomfortable and sometimes keep me awake.
I, too, have them. They come in waves for me. I had them non-stop for about 3 years and now they have calmed down to having them a few times a month- if even that often. I did see a cardiologist and have a battery of tests to make sure there were no problems. I do, however, also have dysautonomia, but I have learned when the palpitations are "normal" and when they are a red flag, so this puts my mind at ease!
Well I have said many times, we r always glad to welcome people, but so sorry u had to seek us out.....we all need each other, and this can be a bumpy journey, and no one should have to try and do this one alone.....
The people here helped me and I am more then happy to share what I have learned along the way....but a well experienced Dr is where we all need to get the real answers on all of this.
I will!! I am so glad I found this website and encouraging people like you!! I felt so lost until I found this site!!!
Keep us posted as to what u find out.
Good Luck <3
Thank you for your response. I will check with my family to see if we have any history with this and then contact my doctor.
Hi, yes, I had them too and with a family history of heart issues I had my heart checked with a Cardiogram....it is always best to get this looked at and have the test so if u do develop other issues later on u have this test to compare back to.
It can be the vagus nerve, reflux , POTS, or the chiari...so do talek to ur Dr about this symptom.
