You've mentions several different symptoms in other conversations, have you considered asking your mother to help you find an internist who can address the bigger picture and look at you as a whole?

Hi I’ve been feeling crapy for a couple of days and I have a numb throat weird felling in center of chest and felling like I’m not getting enough air cheeks feel like they have pressure and I have a headache I do have anxiety sometimes but this scares me I’ve also been having a pulse of 105 and then it will go back down to 77-88

Please let me say that my skips are misery....I posted a new topic, thanks for your post

10 Years! That gives me hope in what's to come! So grateful for donors! I will always have that box checked on my drivers license!

@marywh Hi and Welcome I'm.so glad you joined us. We are all patients and caregivers who share experiences with the goal to help each other thru different Experiences. Or just to have someone that understands that strange feeling or just want advice about a certain test or procedure.
I had similar issues as you and thru a pacemaker plus meds had a normal life for almost 10 years when my old ticker just got to a point the meds were not enough to keep up with me. So I am now the proud owner of someone else Heart. So if anything comes up you like to get some inside on I may be able to help.
I hope you have a Blessed Day

Just joined this group—wish I would have known earlier that y’all were here! In November ‘20 I was diagnosed with a mitral valve prolapse and ventricular tachycardia. At Mayo I had a procedure to implant an ICD device. I’m on amiodarone 200mg/daily and 25 metoprolol 25 mg split in half, taking morning and evening. A little concerned about what the future holds for me, but try not to overthink it, and take one day at a time if necessary!

Thank you for the insight. Good luck with the new heart.

@silverkat Hi welcome to Connect your feeling of flutter reminded me of something similar. I was never sure what to call it but mine was like a pounding feeling when I laid on my left side. But seemed fine on my back and right side. I mentioned a few times to the cardiologist back then (since I'm breaking in a new Heart now) . But just was told it was maybe the way I was laying. Not sure if that is similar to your concerns. Mine I think may have been due to my heart being enlarged. Thus more noticeable since it was pushing on areas that could feel the beating. If it gets really troublesome maybe the doctors can do.a.halter test to try and capture the event. Mine never really lasted long periods except when in that position.

Hello: I'm Glen from Virginia. 85. Been through a lot: a heart attack, a stroke and have copd. My concern is about atrial flutter , not afib. Comes and goes. Sometimes with every beat and sometimes every minute or so. I wonder if others have this problem and how they adjust to it. My cardio doc doesn't think its serious enough yet to go on some med. The only time it really bothers me is when I try to sleep on my left side and I feel that sensation/vibration occasionally. thoughts?
