Heart Sinks when ever I tilt

[ShaneWarne]

Hello Everyone,

From the last 3 months I am having this heart palpitation (fast heart rate) and loose stools whenever I eat my meal. Done 3 Ecgs, blood tests all came back normal.

My GP referred me to Cardiologist anyway and the appointment is in September.

But since the last 3 days I am having this "heart sink" feeling and weird breathing for few second when ever I tilt but not when I stand tall OR sleep straight.

Has anybody else experience the same?

I wonder if one possibility is dysautonomia (do Google it). You could ask for a referral to the National Hospital for Neurology and Neurosurgery in London but I warn you that waiting times are long. I had tests for dysautonomia (with a negative result): one was a tilt table test where the response of your cardiovascular system to tilting is monitored and in another test they check the response of your cardiovascular system to ingestion of glucose, i.e. eating.

Go back to your doctor. The situation has changed so they should know in case its more serious.
