Thanks for the response. :-) From reading other posts in this forum it's good to know that we aren't alone or "crazy". I get tired of being made to feel like it's all in my head.
:-( The toughest thing about it all is learning not become anxious when it happens since that only makes it's worse.. although it's easier said than done. I have had holter monitor, ekgs and an echo and I think when I go to cardiologist today I'll see if he wants to do holter for longer than 24 hours. I know an event monitor probably won't capture anything because the feeling is too shortlived but I'll see what I says. I would rather not start medication if I don't have to nor do I really want to go thru any invasive tests, basically because I am a big fat chicken. I do have a hiatal hernia and GERD which I understand from others that this can make symptoms worse at times.
Keep us posted on how you're doing and how the tests go.
I don't have an answer for you but just wanted you to know that I have similar symptoms. I have been having lots of headaches and some things like you described. I think mine is due to my blood pressure dropping quickly. It makes my head feel funny and I get a lot of skipped beats then. Maybe that is what is going on with you. I feel the same about the anxiety thing. Everyone has a certain amount of stress and anxiety, but I believe that this is the cause of major anxiety when you know something is not right but you don't know what it is. I changed doctors because I was not getting any answers and have a new doctor that is really trying to figure out what is going on. The down side to that is you have to endure a lot of tests. I am scheduled Wednesday for a TEE and cardiac catheter which I am wondering if I really need. Hang in there and keep pushing the doctors for answers.
