I can't tell you about the arrythmias. I feel them sometimes, like a flutter, that only last a second, then other times I feel like my heart has gone out of rhythm and I check my pulse, but I can't tell. I can go two days without feeling any flutters or feeling my heart is not beating right, and then (like last night) go to bed and can't sleep because my heart is pounding so hard. I walked to the store after lunch (too dizzy to drive but walking is good anyway) and bought a blood pressure monitor because I thought maybe I feel awful because my blood pressure is too low, but no, it was 122/68 and it's a monitor that says when you're heart is out of rhythm, and the pulse part said 69 with no indications of irregularities. So, I'm all confused. I called the doc's office and she can't see me today or tomorrow but they said if I still feel awful on Monday, they'll make a spot for me although she said she doesn't know what she can do for me. I did find a cardiologist though. He's booked 5-6 weeks out. Waiting for a call back on setting an appointment (he requires a referral from my doc).

There are two pains in my chest and neither are there all the time. One is about 4" below my clavicle on the left and feels like a muscle ache. The other is a sharp pain in the middle of my chest to the left that I hardly ever get but when I do it gets my attention because it feels like I'm being poked by a sharp needle right there. And, no, I have not noticed that it travels.

Such a mystery, along with why I got this and why it hit me all of a sudden like a ton of bricks.
