Test results are back

Well over the past two weeks I have had a ekg, echocardiogram and a 4 holter I seen my cardio doc yesterday and they say with over 90k beats I only  had 2 irregular beats???? though I had 20 episodes where my heart rate elevated to 100-120 and down to 47 when I was sleeping and once it went up to 160. I  think that was the panic attack I had in the  morning... but my eck was normal and she said I had a absolute perfect structured heart!  the most beautiful one she had seen in a long time..ok that was weird. But all the pause out she said was a normal beat..hmmm this is sooo weird how could that be?

I do suffer with thyroid issue from a partial thyroidectomy  and go hypo alot as though I am now.. she said though most people have a slow hr I am backwards on most things and this could be causing my fast hr and anxiety  She said they would want to re holter me again after I see my endo and get my meds for the thyroid in line and treat my anxiety and see then if I still have the spikes.. I did however forgot to mention to her that I live in a two story home so I go up stairs alot throughout the day which I am sure is the spikes.. heck its like working out on and off all day especially carring my 20lb baby up..lol

Well I am thrilled to have good results but so bewildered at the same time.. I have had a pretty good few days and feel like a ton of bricks have been lifted off with these  results finally in wow whata long two weeks!!! I wanted to share my results and update I hope all of you are just as well!

Thank you...

I am much more at ease now.. though I still have my  pause out feelings which I feel my pulse and can catch a pause in the beat... I just wonder if it such a slight in change that they are not being picked up? Lucy I will look into those attacks!.. oh ofcourse I did not have the BIG flip flop I get .. when I had the 24 holter on..lol doesnt it always work that way =)
I hope I can hold the sense of well being.. and stop questioning it!!!! thanks agan everyone

That is wonderful news!  I know that I am an avid pulse checker and, sometimes, when I think I am having pauses or even PVCs, my pulse does not change.  Although this is rare, I sometimes have to wonder what makes me feel this way.  I also had times when my HR went up and I, too, concluded that it was every time I went up the stairs.  They have always been hard for me.  I hate stairs. BUT, I hate elevators more.....so, they are the lessor of the two evils.

Im glad that your heart is ok and that you can rest easy.  You dont need anymore stress with the little one.  I learned about these things called noctournal panic attacks.  I was getting them a few years ago when I didnt know what was happening to me.  I literally had to teach myself to sleep again because I was so disturbed by them.  Getting good news really helps get rid of those.  I believe there is a bit of info online about the noctournal panic attacks.  They match your spikes in hr.  I was getting that too a few years ago.
