Atenolol

I am a 30year old female. I have been haveing heart pounding palpitations. I have been haveing them since last year. I went to the er last october they said it was low patasium. I has 2 bags of patasium iv's in the er. I was great for a month no palpitations. then again they started a few months ago on and off. I started eating patasium everytime it would affect my breathing or cause dizzyness I went to my Dr he didn't hear it, didn't belive it.
so today I went to the walk in and told them my symptoms and had a ambulance take me to the er. They finally seen the palpitations on the heart monitor. 6x's in one minute it pounded and stopped for a very quick moument. I have it through out the day getting dizzy and the pounding is nerve wreaking. I get so scared I am ganna have a heart attack or something. I need to know if anyone has had this kind of problum. The Dr at the er put me on Athenolol 25mg. I have to go see a specialist. My heart pounds too even when its not skipping. like it's working on overdrive or something then a quick pounding skip then it contiues to pound.
this is so scary and I don't know what to think of this can anyone tell me what you think?Or if you have been through something like this too?

What you are describing is pretty common on this forum and all of us have different conditions, ranging in severity. So you are not alone! Hopefully you will see the specialist soon and he/she can run some tests to figure out what is going on. If you pass out or feel close to it, head back to the ER. I wish I could tell you more, but there are different causes to the symptoms you are describing. The important thing to focus on is that you are taking matters into hand and you are going to find out what is going on. If it turns out there is a problem, it can be treated.
