Hello ALL! I am looking for some help and i will try to make it to the point.. I was just recently
diagnosed with Dysautonomia after a REG STRESS/ECHO TEST at my cardiolgist 6/10/2013..
Here is the run down of me!
I am 40yo white male no drugs, no bad life style, and exercise regular.. I am a bit over weight(5'11,240lbs- but ex football player build 38" waist)-->for the past year i have been heavy into CARDIO EXERCISE on the eliptical or indoor bike..
My 4 times a week cardio routine for the past year has been ELIPTICAL or indoor bike for 30-40mins at faily high intensity.. where i burn 300-500cals(that what it says), RPMS 75-90 and I keep my HEART RATE around 150-160
my heart rate recovery has always been great.. i get it to 170 for a few seconds, then what it drop to 120-125 within 1mins,...
OUT OF NOWHERE->JUST 2 weeks AGO started to notice my HEART RATE would goto 130 whenever i started to exercise.. NO OTHER SYMTOMS.. NO cheat pain, not out of breath.. I would even push it to 160 but it would get there to fast and i would get fustrated.. THIS ALL HAPPEN within the past 2 weeks.
When it first happen i was very upset and i pushed through the workout for 20mins.. when i was finished my HEART RATE stayed at 125 after 10mins-- SO I FREAKED OUT and went to the FIRESTATION.. They tooka ECG and BP, PULSE --etc-etc.. Nothing other than Sinus Tachy and of coarse HIGH BP cause i was worked up(170/100)
I went home took .25 XANAX and it dropped to 75..
I went to the cardiologist showed him the ECG and he did a STRESS ECHO.. What he was was the following during the stress echo/ MY HEART RATE WENT UP to 130 like nothing during the walk, then around the 6 minute it was at 156pulse.. He said I COULD STOP cause he had enough INFO OR I COULD KEEP PUSHING !!
I said lets push it to the max.. I maxed out my HEART RATE at around 190 with ZERO symtoms and just a slight shortness of breath.. He told me to stop.. I could have keep the fast incline.. Not sure what level i was put maybe 10-12mins..
After the TEST I talk to the CARDIOLOGIST..HE said my HEART fuction is fine per the test, but my pulse
was the problem. and he diagnoised me with " DYSUAUTONOMIA " and wants me to take a BETA BLOCKER( aetnolo ) for 2 months then see him again!!
This doctors has known me for 8 years and he knows my family for many.. He knows had ANEXITY from the age of 33 to 38 and i have not had it since I AM now 40.. BUT my anexity started at 33 cause i had a heart PAP.. so now i am thinking maybe this whole time i did not have ANEXITY but it was caused by paps..
What KILLS ME THE MOST!! is that my CARDIO and heart rate has been like a RACE HORSE(atleast for me ) this past year and doing great cardio.. I mean i would follow my heart rate normally it would be at 100 starting to exercise, then move to 115, then hang around 120s .. it would NEVER get into the 135-145 unless i pushed it! Then after a while into the 165s but pushing hard.. THE PAST 2 weeks it gets to 130's easy!
I am trying to short this out..
He wants me to take a BETA BLOCKER, but unsure.. he alsowanted me to take WELBUTRON by i am not depressed..
I have research " dysautonomia " and i look at my past 5-7 years and i have had symtoms of such for a long time..
paps(not often), BLOOD PRESSURE SPIKE, heart rate spike (a few times a years) and I had BAD GI PROBLEMS in 2010 that no doctor could diagnoised.
ANYHELPis greatly apprciated!! sorry for the long post!!
Thans
