tachycardia
Hi guys, well i really don,t know what to do i suffer from benign pvc's but last night after drinking way way to much caffeine and having a heavy meal my might all of a sudden went into a bout of tachycardia which has never happened before. it was going so fast i couldn't even count. i was so scared i took some xanax and had my wife try to calm me down. after 20-25min of this my heart started to slow down i am so scared right now that i can't even think straight. has anybody have had this happen to them thanks
Thanks for the help I went to doctor yesterday for my physical and he did not seem to concerns about it either
Yep sure have!!
been living with this for 27 years and can guarantee that if I exceed for example 3 alcoholic drinks or repeat drinks without a two dat gap then i will get a rudde awakening with SVT and/or a bad day of PVC's.
The good news is that once you identify hoe YOUR UNIQUE BODY reacts to stimulants/toxins etc then you can live a greatlife by avoidibg them and rather than being avictim you fell partly in control.
So try and forget the fear - get a diary and start listing your incidents and what you did ate and drank so that you can identify the'triggers' and avoid them
For the scared feeling it is important to breathe correctly as hyperventilation will cause heart rhythmn problems so pur your hand on your abdomen and breathe slowly so that youe hand rises and falls showing abdominal breathing. The out breath should be toughly twice as long as the in breath.
read all these posts and know that you have nothing to fear but fear itself.
i am assuming in my comments that you have been given the all clear by your doctor.
