I am 75yo female. I have had arythmias for about 15 years or longer. First noticed them when I had stents placed. Have hardly noticed them until lately. I do have a very stressful life taking care of my husband who has dementia, and now this stupid election. They have been bad off and on for a month. I've worn a monitor twice but the times I was wearing them were not heavy with arythmias. So cardiologist says no problem. Well, they ARE a problem. Scary. Mine are worse at night, maybe because I'm reading or doing crosswords, so more noticeable. I do notice that they are worse when I don't eat regularly. I have what seems to be hypoglycemia, but not sure. Do not have diabetes, but have low thyroid. When I don't eat for more than 2 hours they get very bad. But I need to eat protein when I do, not sugar, so not sure what the problem is. I decided yesterday to be very careful about what and when I ate. Very careful. And last evening I had absolutely no arythmias! I was so elated, hoping I'd solved it. But today, as I was about to eat my well scheduled lunch, my husband did something to make me freak out. So, no matter that I ate well, I've been having terrible difficulty all evening. I read that that is due to adrenaline release. Anyway, it is driving me crazy. Oh, and I take Hydroxyzine. Used to take it very infrequently, but finding I need it more and more. It does calm me down and allows me to sleep.
