Guest guest Posted January 13, 2000 Report Share Posted January 13, 2000 Aunt Joan, My daughter (after being on tapazole for a yr. and off for a few months and going hyper again) is on tapazole again and has for a few months now found that her heart seems to slow, stop and skip a beat and when it returns comes in a big pounding feeling - this happens for a few minutes and then returns to normal. Our doctor on examining her said she's basically fine and this may just be how her heart is. The human body is beyond explaining sometimes and I do accept this. However, has anyone else experienced this? I'm wondering if she damaged her heart when going hyper again and continuing her whirlwind college lifestyle instead of taking it easy. (I think its nearly impossible to take it easy when your feeling pent up enegy.) Any response to these questions? Elaine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You might research PreVentricular Contractions. You could go to a secialist and he might have her wear a halter monitor for a day or so to see what's going on. My vote is for your doctor...that she is fine and that's just how her heart is. Ann Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 13, 2000 Report Share Posted January 13, 2000 Elaine, I have also noticed some strange sensations with my heart. I used to think that it skipped a beat now I'm more inclined to say that the power of the beat changes through out the day. At times my heart beat is barely detectable and at other times I can take my pulse by watching my hair on my head move (seriously). After monitoring it for a week or so it appears that certain foods and supplements increase my pulse either in strength or number of beats per minute, while other decrease the pulse in strength and/or beats per minute. I'm working on eliminating the things that raise my heart beat and can pass on a method from my Naturopath for determining this. In hopes of great health for all, Ann Re: Heart skipping beats Aunt Joan, My daughter (after being on tapazole for a yr. and off for a few months and going hyper again) is on tapazole again and has for a few months now found that her heart seems to slow, stop and skip a beat and when it returns comes in a big pounding feeling - this happens for a few minutes and then returns to normal.

Guest guest Posted January 14, 2000 Report Share Posted January 14, 2000 Dear Elaine, Anything with the heart, I would see a specialist. This doesn't sound " normal " to me (although I'm sure it's nothing serious), and I would get it checked out, either by an alternative practitioner, or by a specialist. Good luck, AntJoan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I may be wrong on this, but I don't believe the problem is (directly) with her heart, but rather with the vagas nerve. This can cause some of the symptoms you describe. Happens to me sometimes. Me.
