Feeling of anxiety

2 Replies

I have HFPEF and leaking valves, I recently underwent cardioversion for AF (successful) . I am getting a feeling like butterflies or like what you might get on a big dipper or fairground ride. I described it as an anxiety feeling in the title but I am not an anxious or nervous person at all. I get this feeling at random times throughout the day.

Does anyone else get this?

Having monitored my heart rate it is about 50 bpm at rest, then every 10 or 20 beats it misses a beat, that is when I get the strange feeling. I have booked an appointment with my GP, only 18 days to wait!

Thanks Jo, no I don't feel like I will pass out, I will wait and see what the GP thinks. My cardio consultant hasn't yet given me an appointment for follow up after the cardioversion 6 weeks ago, so I don't know when I will see her next.

I took my bisoprolol at 5.00 p m a couple of hours early, and everything seems to have calmed down, I suspect a larger dose may be on the cards ( 7.5 mg at the mo ).
