I'm sitting here with such relief that I can post here again. This morning I woke from having such horrid palps. Resting pulse was 125bpm, shot up to 140 the moment I stood up, this is the upper limit on my pacemaker. The oddest thing is that I just had a cup of coffee - I very very seldom drink anything with caffeine as I have an average pulse rate of 110bpm, but since I had the coffee my pulse has slowed down to 113bpm. It seems very odd as I'd expect it to increase my heart beat, not slow it down. Maybe I was a bit panicky cause it was so fast but my hubby has woken up now and he made the coffee for me so maybe it's just relief that he's awake and I can tell him that I'm feeling offish which might have a calming relief type of effect.
Oh dear, I think I spoke too soon - pulse has just shot up again suddenly and I can feel my ventricular lead pacing, usually only my atrial lead paces so I notice when the ventricular one starts up, it feels funny. Wonder what is going on? Maybe I should double my Coralan dose this morning even though I'm already on the max dose, it definitely works with slowiing down the rate, the best heart med I've ever taken to be honest!
