How do I know for sure?
My heart sometimes feels like it does a flip in my chest,causing me to catch my breath. Today my body feels like I have the flu and I am tired and my stomach is upset my heart feels like it is really pounding ( I can hear it in my ears). I am also shaky. I do suffer from depression and am on celexa and wellbutrin. How do I know when to call 911 or should I just call my doctor? I also suffer from mitra valve prolapse.
this could be a side effect of wellbutrin...you should check into it good luck
It might help to know I am a 45 year old female and off and on exercizer , currently I work out 40 minutes a day (tread mill and weights)
Mitra,
Thanks for the post.
If you think that you may be having a heart attack, then dial 911. The internet is not a good medium for making or refuting this diagnosis.
The sensation that you described could range from something benign, such as a PVC (premature ventricular contraction), to something serious. You need to speak with your doctor to help sort this out.
Good luck.
