I've tried not to read this forum and just get on with it ! Since I last wrote I have slowly been getting better apart from a nasty bout of costchondritis which lasted weeks but has now gone thankfully .
However in the last two weeks I have had a fluttering sensation generally after food and at rest especially if I lean on my left side , always worse early am and teatime it's just a few extra beats my resting pulse is 54 and it goes up to 65 so nothing too major but awful is how I describe it , no other symptoms though.
Gp said maybe anxiety but cardiac nurse said get a 24hr monitor , so Gp agreed when I told him .
It's a few weeks wait but I am on holiday shortly on a cruise I am worried as to whether I should go , medical services are great on the ship and if your number is up its up ! Any advice ?
Hi Daffodils. I have had a hideous time recently (since April) having developed a sensitivity/allergy to several different drugs. Having stopped and started all of my cardiac drugs I have identified 4 and changed them all I then was feeling ‘jittery’ and fluttery. The only thing I hadn’t changed was Lansoprazole so I stopped it and within a week I felt much better. (On one of the side effects it actually uses the term ‘feels jittery’). Interestingly I tried ranitidine but again felt terrible on it. Stopped it and feel so much better. I rely on just gaviscon now to cope with indigestion. I’m not saying you have the same issue but if you’re taking medication for stomach then it’s something to consider. But I must stress that I stopped and started each drug under supervision of my doctor. Hope it gets sorted. Best wishes Zena
Not sure how your reply is a help to Daffodils. It seems to be all about you!
How rude. I find that your comment offers far less in the way of constructive advice that would help daffodils. Please be kind when dealing with people on here. All of whom have suffered trauma of one kind or another.
All replies help that is why we are on here, I am not offended by your post but some may be lets not argue lol
Yes I am on Lansaprasole but never really get reflux so maybe I will ask to stop it
