Feeling okay sort of at last !

[DAFFODILLS]

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!

[Andie1975 in reply to Richos]

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.

[DAFFODILLS in reply to Richos]

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

I have this sometimes especially when I feel a bit anxious. It is a horrible sensation. I don't know why it happens. I would take advise from your consultant or cardiac nurse regarding the holiday. Just make sure you have insurance. Maybe a holiday will do you good 😍

[DAFFODILLS in reply to Gill1026]

Neither of them seem to worried about it and as I said the wait for the monitor is after the holiday so unless I turn up at casualty, which I hate doing II wont be any the wiser .

Yes, Zena is so supportive on this forum and it is always helpful to know how other people deal with the problems which you are experiencing.

You should probably have this conversation with your GP or Cardiac Nurse if you have one. If you feel OK in yourself, ignoring the anxiety, then you are probably good to go, but for insurance purposes it'll be better to have some sort of medical OK

Hi daff. I want to try and reassure you I have had this for years had every test done all negitive kept getting told anxciety. When in life I’m quite chilled out so had a monitor that showed I was getting just over 2000 etopic palpitations. In a 20 hour period what was interesting was I was getting them when I was asleep so had more tests because I was not convinced it was all anxciety then a few other test show I had GERD acid reflux that was Effie ting my osphagus in turn affect the vagal never now in meds fir that plus foingbso home stuff like raising up the head of my bed not eating before bed ect think in my case it’s mianly started after HA. Going in aspirin and Clopidogrel now clearly I’m no. Dr nit do I no your history so would not dare to say this is your answer but try the reflux diet and try some meds I pray it works fir u we r all diff like I take omerprazol but can take lansoprazol if I do eat a bad meal and I try not to I have bad palps hope this helps and ubr symptom free. Bug monitor will say if they r benign. Or there’s s problem all the very best as u search for the answer we can only talk from our own exspeance so bear that in mind on here and. By forum always seek professional advice
