Guest guest Posted December 19, 2006 Report Share Posted December 19, 2006 Im seeking an answer to the following. The other day my alarm clock woke me up giving me quite a shock. I was so shocked by being startled awake that I took my pulse just to see how fast it was going. I expected it would be going very quick. Instead it was fairly slowly going .. bomp..... bomp......bomp..... (and then the weird part) it like sucked in .... bomp......bomp.....bomp......suck in etc in that pattern. It was sucking in (I couldnt feel pulse at that point just was aware of the area where I had been feeling the pulse, going in). Does anyone else get that?? and if so what's happening?? if I was missing a heart beat every forth beat would that cause one to feel that area actually go in??? wouldnt it just stay the same and there be no beat???? or is this connected to the heart problem that Cheney talks about that those with CFS can get???? would that make ones pulse weird at times???? (thou I havent been told I have anything like that). After that incident, I spoke to a friend who is an experienced ambulance officer about it but she had no idea what could cause a sucking in feel (so obviously its something abnormal and not a normal heart problem or whatever she's used to coming across). She did wonder thou if I'd gone into a muscular spasm which was maybe stopping me from feeling the pulse every fourth beat and also causing the area where my finger was on my pulse to go in. We both thou thought that if it was muscular, I probably would of realised that. So Im confused. Im concerned some. Obviously it was the shock which caused that to happen and it went normal again after a while. Im concerned whether i should worry about this at all or not, has the CFS damaged my heart???. Does anyone know of a heart problem or something else it could indicate????? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
