Tachycardia for about 2 years now.

I'm not sure how it started. I took adderall (adderrall) RX 25mg once and I had a really bad palpitation ever since but I also suffered from panic attacks. It could be both...

I went to the doctor because I was really worried. He referred me to a cardiologist who did one of those scans and everything came out fine. I been taking Propanolol ever since, skipping doses every now and then when I forget.

Lately I been getting this mild pains that last no longer than a few minutes and I'm kinda worried.

Should I go back to the doctor to have another scan?

what scan? its important to know what tests you;ve had.. since you're complaining of skipped beats, you should have an ekg, and echo at least to rule out any structural problems, and even a holter monitor wouldnt be a bad idea to make sure your tachycardia is in a normal sinus rhythm.. Talk to your physician about these tests.

I don't think it would be a bad idea to go get re-checked.

Any possibility that you might have sleep apnea?

Sorry. I meant that last post to go on the "Palpitations during sleep" thread below. My mistake. The comment clearly doesn't apply here.

Yes, you should report your symptoms to you cardiologist and be retested (stress test with echo).

Best wishes

Tony.
