well, when it comes to our hearts its hard not to be paranoid considering it is our pump that keeps us alive.  One can never be too sure about anything.  I just know that my cardiologist says that anytime we go on meds or go off them, our heart goes through an adjustment.  If it doesn't get better, for sure, call your doctor.  You might want to check with them anyways just to be safe.  what harm can a simple phone call make.  take care and lets us know who it goes.

thanks for the response - Yes it is a medication and I didn't even think of it being an adjustment - maybe that's what it is - I don't want to get paranoid !!

what is cardism?  is it a medication?  if it is, the skipped heart beat may be just adjusting to the med.
