heart problems with chiari
hi everyone,
ive been having heart problems recently, the beat is slow then speeds up, my blood pressure ends up being 204/110, went to hospital, was sent home,
now awaiting a 24hr heart moniter, i get so lightheaded, and weak, heavy, if i take a step of stand, or even roll over in bed, it becomes hard to breath,
I have had this alot, but had never had a BP, or heart listened to while it happened, i dont normally go to doc, but i felt so bad, i decided i should go, which i found interesting as it maked me wonder if this happens every time,
my question is....... Do you get heart and Blood pressure problems with chiari and if there is anything that can help this effect, of relieve it????????
at the moment i seem to have problems one after another. lol

I had an MRI of my brain today (thought it would be of my spine...guess not) ? 1. will a plain MRI of the brain show CSF blockage? Syrinx? ( in the portion of the spine viewable?) 2. Does Iodine make you feel lightheaded?..I havent had an episode of my heart racing for more than 5mins...and today it seemed after i had the MRI I had to go straight home instead of work and lay down for about 2hrs cause my heart was beating faster than usual.I'm not sure if it was my plain ole chiari-ness or the iodine...

Now post op, I haven't had any issues to that degree, I actually didn't even think about it now until I read your post. Also, after surgery I found out that I had Hashimotos (auto immune thyroid disease) and sometimes you run from hypo to hyper (which can cause heart racing, breathlessness ect.), so you may want to get that checked out. Or you could be hyper (Grave's disease) in which you most definitely would have those kind of issues. So if you haven't had your thyroid tested, I would do so. I am now getting the Hashi's treated properly so I am wondering if that has helped it for me.
I hope it gets figured out b/c that is a really horrible feeling!
