Papitations started out of nowhere...again...

[Ihatepalps2]

had PVCs and PACs for years...on Metoprolol.... so that usually controls them very very well...but yesterday I felt ill all day...stomach ache...nausea...diarhea...terrible upset in the stomach with gas...and suddenly on came the palpitations. They were horrible! I tolerated them all day long. Finally had to do something about the stomach..took alka seltzer..and the palpitations were gone within an hour!!!!
Weird!
So...havent eaten..havent really had enough fluids..although havent had vomiting or too much diarhea..just not hungry or thirsty...so Im sure im close to being dehydrated....sitting at work here..and just as suddenly, bam! My palpitations are back--BIG thumps and skips....I didnt have them all night OR all morning.
Can feeling sick...stomach issues...fever...not eating or drinking...cause the palpitations to start up and be nasty????

I think they dehydration causing low potassium would/can cause palps for anyone. Hope they have subsided

make sense they would increase when your system is out of wack.  Being sick is a sure trigger for me.
