HEART RHYTHM COMMUNITY
But it's not heart related (LOL)

But it's not heart related (LOL)

My heart has been a bit bratty lately, more PSVT than normal, annoying chest pain that grabs when I least expect it. Sure, I can do a 2 mile walk with friends but can't walk through the grocery store without chest pain. When I got home a few minutes ago I was putting my groceries away when my heart went into a wacky tachy as I call it, a very irregular rhythm. And the chest pain came. I decided to check it out with my stethoscope. The rhythm was way out of sync:  a couple regular beats, a pause, a salvo of beats over 200, a PVC maybe, a couple regular, another salvo of 10 - 15 beats too fast to count. I tried to get a feel for the rate but my metronome only goes up to 208 and this was more than that.

The funny thing is years ago I asked the cardio about this chest pain and he said he didn't think it was cardiac related. I said that it's funny it comes with an arrhythmia but what do I know. I'm thinking I might have to take another Diltiazem. I took one over the weekend because of this nonsense. Looks like another bratty heart day.  Pbbbt.

That stinks....I get those crazy episodes too...of course it's never when I have a monitor on. I'm like you, I can swim 20 laps, walk 2 miles, be my husband's laborer around the yard and be fine....I sit down, go into a store, sit in the car, sit in a restaurant...BAM..here it goes. Hmmm...you were probably bending down to put groceries away..up and down...looking at what I wrote, mine tend to happen more when sitting...I may need a vagal nerve transplant..lol...Hope your skippy heart settles down.
