Good morning everyone Hope we are all as well as can be . Has any one any ideas why I get my bout of palpitations about ten minutes after leaving the bathroom every morning and why accompanied with hot flushing
Really spoils the start to my day and can last for quiet a while coming and going

Hi there, could be that a hot shower (or bath) raises your blood pressure and triggers the problem? I've had that before and I've started having cooler showers which helped... have a nice day.
Morning yes it is a lovely day !! Maybe the shower is a little hot I’m the same if I have a hot bath !! Been to see gp yesterday he suggests another cardioversion so off to see consultant at my local hospital !!
Hi Bob I actually watched it live in Melbourne a couple of years ago it was amazing when Jensen button was around he was my favourite!! But i do like Daniel Ricardo 😄
I think the last GP I went to was the year I closed the team down in 1988 when we decided to have a family. Our touring cars were always a support race at the British Grand Prix and frankly I couldn't get away soon enough. One year at Brands Hatch we rushed away after our race in the morning and watch the GP on TV!
That’s sounds brilliant bet you have some great memories you don’t realise what they put on before the race ! My son in adelaide likes to watch the v8s thinks it’s called clipsal???
Going to have to try something I'm getting were I dread getting up Least once I have had them they done with for the day and only experience palpitations at times.
Hi I get the same problem in the morning not always after a shower. I was in AF all the time but had an ablation on the 31st May and not had the sweating as much.
Hi Vonnieruth. I get this at least 5 mornings out of 7, I feel like I'm going to black out. It can last from anything from 15 minutes to an hour. But it happens after I've been to the loo, if you know what I mean!! My GP and indeed consultant have dismissed it as not heart-related. Because I suffer crippling anxiety I'm not taken very seriously I fear.
I also get palpitations after going to the toilet in the morning and if i eat too much, I usually graze throughout the day. Also I feel awful first thing in the morning, quite unwell, it wears off after a while.
Have you any idea what causes it in your case? I'm so glad, in one way, that I've found people with similar symptoms. I've been convinced I was dying slowly. I'm not glad that others are suffering by any means, but I don't feel so isolated.
I think it’s the vagus nerve that causes this, I was 28 when I started to feel awful if I went out with the family for a meal, palpitations lasted for hours after, I never linked it until later in life, I,m now 71. I did not know what the racing heart of svt was until I got attacks 2 years ago that had to be treated in hospital. I thought I was weird and different to everybody else so kept quiet and suffered it. If I got upset after an arguement with husband I would feel my body shaking with my heartbeat for hours, I live alone now.
I'm still married But he gets fed up with me as I don't like him leaving me too long and he loves going fishing He's off on a day's fishing Wednesday 6am till about 5pm my anxiety and BP will be bad all day He is use to me working 12 hour shifts and being able to come and go as he likes Which he should be able to I know
I left a mentally abusive marriage after 40 years for my own sake and happiness. I am used to coping alone and do not like bothering my children because they work, they will help me if I need them.
Strength comes with age I think, when you have to cope you will. The mind is a strong thing, I find if I try to concentrate on something like television or reading it does take half of my mind off the uncomfortable palpitations but not fully. I was worse when I was in my 30s, they would take over my existence, I didn,t have a caring husband so learnt to deal with them myself.
You will get strong again, they are not pleasant at all eventually you come to terms with it but I am still alive and quite active so they are harmless. There are still moments when they worry me though.
I guess we'll hope one does. had what I call hot flushing and few palpitations whilst in supermarket today I was dreading that but I dealt with it Anxiety doesn't help though
I have suffered with anxiety all my life, queuing in supermarkets still cause me anxiety, I can,t wait to get out, I have to empty my mind and not think about it. I do not like crowds, I go out early to avoid them. I feel sure this problem goes hand in hand with anxiety.
Yes. It is listed in DSM 5 as one of the anxiety disorders. The cause when I worked in Research is unknown. My area was Psychology but many disciplines involved was enlightening. Read a result: if you give a lactate infusion to someone not prone to panic attacks nothing happens but give one to a person who has panic disorder and it will bring on a panic attack. Many disciplines so important in solving health issues.
Please do not doubt the strength of your mind. Not knowing why or when is scary. Making plans is often avoided when you frequently need to cancel them. Make plans. Show up when able. Have compassion for yourself when you cannot.
I see an EP on 29th of June. I'm going to try to press him on this issue as it's making my life a misery. I'll post the outcome on here so look out for it, it may interest you since we both have similiar symptoms.
Please do I'm at first clinic appointment 19th July so will mention it then to who I see It puts me off getting up in a morning so I just tell myself better getting over with
May I ask if both of you strain somewhat. The Rx slows down the Heart and may also slow down elimination. I take Diatomaceous Earth food grade daily. It helps if you have diverticula.
Not a very scientific answer but I find that levels of hydration in the body have an effect on many processes and functions. Is your body adjusting to several hours without hydration during the night and then losing more fluids first thing in the morning?
My husband has slightly low blood pressure and was told to increase fluids, especially in the morning, to increase it.
When I felt mine, feeling sweaty and weak and faint were symptoms. Dehydration due to drinks at Play n not enough water seemed to be cause. Weeks later, monitor indicated SVT episodes with 140 EXTRA heartbeats and I felt fine.
Just read a very interesting article on cortisol. Some of the symptoms of imbalance are sweating, palpitations and flushing. Here it is drlam.com/blog/adrenal-fati...
This question is turning out to really help ME, as I now realize that the morning sweats I have had for several years are probably related to my AF which was only diagnosed less than a year ago. I'm going to do more research on this but I always wondered why my forehead would sweat so much and I think it is related. Please keep us informed what you find out, vonnieruth.
Hi Not a nice subject for this time in the morning but having my bowels open sometimes sets me off with palpitations and hot flushes Infact my very first episode that I was aware of started this way and can be very scary when sat all alone on the loo lol
Have found if I get up to pass water in the night I start to sweat when I get back into bed and an episode of Afib will start. My daughter and DIL say they have this problem without the Afib. Guess it might be a girl thing!!
