Exercise

[Hi-1964]

After 1/2 hours exercise sitting here with a HR of 62 and not irregular but having a really strange sensation like an adrenaline rush making me feel like I'm shaking ! Always get this after exercise which is one of the reasons I stopped as I thought this was what AF felt like

[Loo61]

Not sure how to answer this but I do know ectopics make my body shake..I've not exercised properly since both my PVIs so thanks for mentioning this. Are you on any meds or have you had and treatment? If you've overdone it I know that exercise can sometimes make you feel this way or even nauseous...

Hi thanks I am on bisopropol and asprin I know if overdo exercise can make u feel shakey but this is a strange sensation it's feels like I'm really nervous and can last for rest of evening and wake me up I really don't want to have to stop exercising as always done it and did enjoy

May have to try and explain to consultant next month .

hi

AF 24/7 14 years.

funny this should be mentioned. I am also sat sitting now after doing some very light raking on my lawn for about 30mins. Always feel OK during the exercise but this feeling of complete exhaustion comes on after maybe 10-15 mins of stopping. Like you there is a strange sensation of something along with the exhaustion that I never used to get.

Also do get a shaking when I go to bed, sometimes wake up with it, but usually turn to the right and at least I cant feel it

Not really nausea, but both arms and legs feel so heavy and wasted. Feel like I need to go to sleep for a couple of hours. And yes an anxious feeling is what it could be described as.

Most days are getting like this.

Mentioned it to Cardio last time I saw her, but nothing done or even suggested. Just keep taking the Bisop and aspirin, and warfarin and ramipril, over 10 years on all of these meds.

So no idea if anything else is slowly happening.

I've had that occasionally. Scared the bejasus out of me. I'm glad I'm not alone...

[Hi-1964 in reply to Hidden]

Me too ! It's gone this morning so that's good !

[SuzieA]

I've been getting that too recently, thank goodness I'm not alone

[Hi-1964 in reply to SuzieA]

Do you think it's AF? Or the meds that do it cos heart is def not racing or jumping around .

[SuzieA in reply to Hi-1964]

I don't know but it just feels as though I'm shaking inside

[Hi-1964 in reply to SuzieA]

Yer that's exactly how I feel but only when I've done some exercise .

[SuzieA in reply to Hi-1964]

It just happens, at one stage I thought it was due to eating anything contains sugar but don't really have an explanation.

[Didgmanmick]

YES I thought I was alone, I too get this strange feeling of apprehension and fear.

I think it is anxiety due to the fact I am waiting for something to kick off. I think spending so many years being very aware of my heart, it's become ingrained in my subconscious mind and am still feeling every hop and bump of it. My EP agrees that the Brain Heart connection is very real. I've just embarked on a course Headspace, ( mindfulness meditation) the Calm app is also a good free app. Hope this helps.

All the best.

Hi I dont exercise but some housework chores make me shake and as started since diagnosis , and only on warfarin , doctor put me on pills for anxiety which has helped me cope really well but still get this shaking ( we are not alone ) x

I exercise regularly and when not in AF, I don't really have any symptoms, but when in AF I do suffer from dizzy spells and adjust my exercise to accommodate. As Loo states, could it be your medicine? I attended the patients day this year and DR Thomas stated if you're on Flecainide you shouldn't exercise for up to 12 hours after taking it. This came as a bit of a shock to a few of us, as I have never heard this before and still can't find anything to back it up, but Dr Thomas was quite adamant.

[Hi-1964 in reply to Jason1971]

I am not taking flecainide at the moment but have been told I should so I will ask at nov appointment . I don't feel dizzy when exercising just strange after !

[Bagrat in reply to Jason1971]

Is this if you have flec as pill in pocket.? I take it every 12 hours all the time.

Have only had one episode since starting flec but get the symptoms described by gerryatric every couple of weeks or so so blame the pills.

[Jason1971 in reply to Bagrat]

That's a very good point Bagrat and one I didn't ask. I take 100MG twice daily 12 hours apart, so I assumed (Rightly or wrongly) that it was any method. It hasn't stopped me, as I don't have any side effects at all, other than it doesn't work great for me. I will however discuss this with my EP.
