Heart Rhythm Conditions – Welcome to the group

I had probable essential tremors diagnosis 5/8/2026 I am an R.N. 85rys , of sound mind, live alone still do everything mow ,clean, cook, shop, A.D.Ls, drive, go everywhere by self. I hear a constant humming. feel like house is shaking when in this house since a new furnace with air conditioner & water heater were installed 2/28/2026 through 4/12/2026. Since this instillation I have begin to feel like house, me, are vibrating, hear the noise, but only when in house. When outside or any where else do not shake, hear normal noises that have a reason. Really, could this be essential tremors?

@sandrakujak I would really like ALL IDEAS! PLEASE! Going crazy over this or needing to sell & move!? Losing sleep! Thank you!

@ellenp55 ==Hi Ellen....good to hear from you too! My total ejection fraction is 61% but I am not sure I have the data for just the LV. I will check with my doctor. private message me if you want to have a discussion off line. I am in northern California

@sandrakujak I can't be sure or advise you....not there, don't know you...don't know what it was like in your house before the new installation, but on the face of it, I'd say the new climate control is moving air in a frequency that makes part of the delivery channel, the ducting vibrate in a new harmonic that is literally driving you crazy.

When water moves through a pipe or a hose, and when air moves through ductwork, the drive mechanism behind it impels it with pulses, and those pulses come at a frequency dependent on the design of the impeller/propeller system AND ALSO on the voltage being supplied by the power supply, which governs how rapidly the electric motor spins the axle on which the fan rests. This imparts a thrumming or a drumming or a hum or a whistle or a whine....something audible, and in your case, intrusive.

And, on a practical matter, you would probably ask them to send a female office employee, or a wife, whose hearing is likely to be more like yours, unlike the probably stunted hearing of the typical male installer of a sort who has been using power tools and hammers to manipulate steel sounding boards (sheet metal ductwork) for the better part of a decade or two. A 'nuther woman would probably be able to back you up when you say you're hearing something objectionable because she'd stand a good chance of hearing it as well. Or, a sympathetic and knowledgeable installer who has dealt with this once or twice and knows where/how to provide relief.

I would contact the installer and ask if they have a way to alter the settings, or to place baffles, or to put a damper somewhere to help to reduce the pulsing and the attendant noise. Somebody at that outfit has had to deal with this problem because, believe it or not, you're not the first person to be dismayed at their bran' spankin' new HVAC system due to new components and different speeds of medium movement.

@arrgh1, you'll notice that I removed your personal phone number. Connect is a public forum. We recommend sharing personal contact information using the secure private message function. I might also add that by sharing here in the forum, you are connecting with several people where all can benefit from group support.

Just joined. I have infrequent bouts of SVT. This has been going on for decades. They always resolve on their own - except the last one a month ago where I went to the ER. Adenosine push stopped it immediately. And now, for the first time will be seeing a cardiologist. In preparation, I have an echo later today. I have no interest in ablation, mostly because these SVT episodes are very infrequent.

@jmarsh If you were to ask me what I think of your position on this, I would say I agree with you. Any intrusive intervention carries risk, as do drugs. If you are not taking anything, and you have infrequent AND self-resolving episodes of SVT, then the worst thing you face is those infrequent episodes that fix themselves in an hour or two. No big deal. Once you introduce drugs, there's often a cost, even if it's not immediately apparent. If you undergo an operation, even day surgery, there's a risk (they'll still use propofol at least, and that's not nothing).

Everybody has to determine for him/herself what they're prepared to endure. Discomfort, worry, sleep loss, ruminating, higher blood pressure, more frequent urination, palpitations, breathlessness, maybe some syncope, but also future events that are possible as a result of age-related changes and morphological changes that may come in time due to the strains on the heart. Basically, if you can abide what happens and how it feels at the time, if there's no lasting anxiety, and no other worrying symptoms, dangerous ones, then.....why not let 'er ride?

@jmarsh Hi. I had similar goings on. About 8 years of SVT. No drugs just amlodipine to bring down heart rate/blood pressure. Then I passed out right when one started as I got the drug. Hospital overnight observation for big lump on back of head. So no driving at that point. Ablation was only answer. It was scary waiting, got shingles from stress so another 3 week wait. EP created event, showed Afib and SVT. 6 weeks out, no issues at all but on Eliquis until EP clears me. On Holter monitor now looking for events of any kind. I have felt nothing. Happy it’s over no more SVT. And hopefully no Afib either. Oh , I have Factor V Liden blood issue evidently for my 79 years I wasn’t aware of is one reason he kept me on blood thinner til I get with a hematologist about that. Felt great in 2 days and on with my 79 yr old self. Just my situation, everyone had a different thought. Great info on this site.
