Things going 'bump' in the night!!

[migmog]

Well, here was I yesterday really feeling I had got over any after effects of having an Ablation/investigation possibly 6weeks ago. Back doing my 'Neighbourhood Watch Walk' around the village, circular walk 1.6miles covered in 30mins, averaging 18.32 min/mile!!! Thanks to GPS Tracker!!

Ended up soon dozing off to sleep, then suddenly, just felt as though a Cardioversion had happened to me!! Woke up with such a massive jump (for the want of a better word), just felt as though I was suddenly being brought back to life!!!

Wow! Anyone else experienced anything like it?! Must say I am dreading going to bed tonight 😴 💤

Yes I have these most mornings. Feels as though a donkey has suddenly kicked me in the chest. They make me Yelp and literally take a step backwards they are so fierce. Had them for last two or three years. Guess it's heart trying to go out of rhythm in my case.

Definitely agree, so frightening at that time.

Yes l have these periodically...Wake up with a start and my heart seems to pop/crack and I feel like a car that is being jump started if that makes sense...

Sorry Caromia, will go along with Meadfoot, thankfully your experience does not feel as traumatic as ours. With myself it literally felt as though I had been thrown to another position in bed!!!

This seems to happen when dozing, or shallow sleep, with me. Have to catch my breath as well. Seems more pronounced when on Bisoprolol, which I have mentioned elsewhere. Can be mistaken for Apnoea.

I'm sure you're doing very well. Keep up the good work.

I am so glad I am not alone. Don't want anymore of these either, but sharing your stories sure makes me feel better.

When we can catch up with what other A F'ers are going through, can be enouraging to ourselves, but unfortunate to the sufferer!
