Palpitations following angina pains

[Goldenheart]

Does anyone experience this, episodes of angina pains,chest tightness ,breathlessness,followed by an episode of a racing heart?

In addition to Angina you also suffer from AF (Atrial Fibrillation). The Palpitations may well be connected to this. You should contact your GP as your medication may well need adjustment.

Thankyou for replying, i have actually caught a fib on alive cor,and have a scheduled phone appt soon with my cardio. Have you heard of this before, a fib triggered by angina?

[MichaelJH Heart Star in reply to Goldenheart]

Not specifically but I have come across it being triggered by various goods (caffeine, alcohol, chocolate and stress). Angina causes pain which would cause stress so I am not surprised. Good luck with your appointment.

I do not have AFib. But when I had a very fast heart rate in excess of 100 before my Graves hyperthyroidism was brought under control, the fast heart rate caused bad palpitations.

As MichaelJH said, it could be connected.

Best wishes.
