I cant tell if I am having heart problems or anxiety problems. ABout a
month ago I was not feeling right and wore a 24 hour monitor. It
showed I had 31 "short run" svt's. I was refered to a cardiologist.
Cardioloigst had me wear another 24 hour monitor and do a stress test.
He said the monitor showed I have a few extra beats now and then but
nothing to worry about. I also had an ultrasund which was normal.

I get a fast heartbeat when I lay down, sometimes when taking a
breath, sometimes lat=ying on my right side. It is like my heart
"pauses" then beats real fast for 5 seconds, then goes to a normal
rhythm. It is worse in the afternoon. I start felling a little funny
afterwards.

Every 2 weeks or so I have a major "episode". It is almost always in
the afternoon or evening. I have a few of the weird beats and I start
feeling wierd like I can tell somethig is about to happen. I get
scared, sick at my stomach, very cold and start shaking. This lasts
for about 5 minutes. I lay down and it eventually goes away but I feel
crummy the rest of the night. I am able to sleep fine.

I have asked in other groups and people tell me it could be
anxiety/panic attacks. I have never had these but my grandmother has.

How do I find out if this is what I am having and what is the best
medicine to ask for that wont cause you to gain weight or turn you
into a zombie.
I am a male and 32 years old. I dont think I am inder alot of stress
other than the stress of this feeling. We have our second child due in
a few months and I dont want these episodes ruining that. WHen I am
having a major attach all I can think about is I am going to die and I
dont want to leave my precious daughter.
