I used to get the odd one when I drank too much caffeine, however I went through a period of about 2 months where I had them all the time. I'd lie in bed and it would feel really strange, but it only lasted a  few minutes. However it escalated until one day they didn't go away after an hour or so, I went to the local clinic ( nearest hospital is nearly 300km away) and they couldn't find anything and sent me on my way. They still hadn't stopped a couple of hours lated and I was feeling quite light headed and a bit nauseous so I went back They did a portable ECG and the nurse freaked out. ( THAT REALLY sent my heart rate through the roof!) He called in another nurse and spoke to the DMO at the hospital, gave me a shot of something and then they drove me in the ambulance to the Hospital ( 300km away) I had all sorts of tests ( and wouldn't you know it, they never happened again while I was in hospital for the next few days!) I was referred to a Specialist and continued to have more tests over the next few months - I had to wear a halter monitor a few times and did a stress test. They assure me there is nothing wrong, just "one of those things"

My advice would be to ask for a referral to a specialist, make sure you get thoroughly checked out and this will help put your mind at ease. Just insist to your doctor that you want a referal. Better to be safe than sorry! I am pleased to say that I have never had an episode like that again, however if I am tired and stressed, I do still get brief palpitations.

It means supraventricular tachycardia. It's pretty much just your heartrate taking off really fast without any warning.

The dr said he could give me medication to stop the palpitations but he would let the specialist give them to me as the specialist will give me a heart monitor for 24 hours so he can track my heart rate, he will make sure this isnt the start of something unfolding  and then give me medication(the dr is certain there is nothing to worry about)to stop them or make them not so noticable.Do you go to the dr every time iy happens? how often does it happen? would it affect you having more children?

Just like to clarify tho, the dr at the hospital said my hear was beating normally, proper rythym weith a slight murmur but nothing to be alarmed about. the heart has a muscle at the back or somethjing and thats whats making me feel like it stops. Its not stopping just the muscle is contracting with makes me feel like its thumping....hope that makes sense

Hi Natz.  I am a nurse, a cardiac nurse, and would suggest keeping an eye on the palpitations.  I don't want to say too much and scare you or make you think they are something they aren't but also don't want to not tell you.  Know what I mean?

I would just say to you to monitor the frequency and duration and if you think they are changing and happening more often and for longer, talk to your doctor.  Persist with your doctor.

If you want more information, minti mail me and I will be happy to talk to you about things.

All the best.
Angela
