Tried deep breathing etc. First episode of that. Almost had to wake OH up! 🙄
That must have been awful Di, especially when you are away from home and contact with your normal medical support network. If your heart rate was fast but regular then it sounds like super ventricular tachycardia and the Valsalver manoeuvre, although not very elegant, is well worth a try should it happen again. If you’re not familiar, check it out on Google and there are also some videos on YouTube. Hope you settle soon…….John
Thanks, knew I could rely on you. Must admit was worried as a lady keeled over in Castleton yesterday and an hour later she was still lying on the pavement! Di
Ethel103 oh how I know that feeling, just gets me when it starts. Like you I try to distract myself as sleeping is impossible. Trouble is takes nearly 24 hours to slow down, then it jumps about for another day eventually back in NSR!
