I am sorry for every lupus sufferer that suffers with all these ailments/complications.....I have this every day and every night too and yes - it is horrible.................

I started to suffer from what I thought were palpitations this year and was sent to A & E one evening this spring and was admitted due to abnormal rythmn. Later echo revealed I now have a cardiac arrhythmia . Part of this whole thing ? Don't know but it is unpleasant. I have a beta blocker which I take when it goes on for a few days and particularly unpleasant . Don't like taking them all of the time as I feel I have quite enough medication to take.

My advice is that if you are concerned go to your GP , it will allay your fears at least .

take care

i too occasionally feel this, not too much though probably as I already take beta blocker for migraine and tremor. Not pleasant,I know.

Hi there - yes I think so - well always good to hear that other people are having/experiencing the same symptoms as oneself - sorry that they are but nice to know and find out more, I experience this constantly.
