Wow, what a scary experience. I think you are doing the right thing! There

is nothing more important than taking care of yourself and no one knows

better than you when something is just not right. I'm glad to know that you

are responding so quickly by seeing your doctor SOON. My thoughts will be

with you. Take care of yourself, girl.

That is so odd that this happenned to you Toni!! My heart use to

race on occasion a few years back and I would just sit still and wait

for it to pass. Well, this past Saturday, it happenned to me right

after a Tae-Bo workout while I was doing an arms of steel tape. It

was horrible. I sat down and just let it pass. It felt like my

heart was going to jump out of my chest. I was not out of breath in

any way, my heart was just racing though. That was the first that

it's ever happenend to me while working out. Keep us posted on how

you are feeling!

Darcy who wonders for sure what the causes of your heart racing are...

> Hello guys,As most of you know, I've been trying to complete a 21DC

with Jenni. On last Friday, which would have been day 6, I didn't

work out, so I started over Saturday. Well, yesterday at work I had

a REALLY bad day...throughout the day, I was experiencing heart

palpatations, but I just chalked it up to being stressed at work.

Last night while I was in class (I'm taking my classes online this

semester), anyway, I fell asleep during class (oops, hope my prof.

isn't on this group)and when I woke up, my fingertips of my left hand

were all cold and numb and that palpitating heartbeat was back. I

got scared, which made it worse...so at this point, on top of the

palpitations, my heart was racing. I ran over to my neighbors house

(convinced I was going to need urgent medical attention)...she told

me to lie down. She know's of my love for TB (she's even come over a

couple of times and worked out with me), but she started lecturing me

about how I overwork myself (with working out). I knew it couldn't

be that, but then it dawned on me...I HAVEN'T BEEN PROPERLY HYDRATING

MYSELF IN THIS LAST WEEK!!!! And when I workout (especially with the

bag), I sweat BUCKETS (literally)...I remembered reading something in

the past about when your body is severly dehydrated and potassium

levels are deficient you'll get heart palpitations...luckily, I keep

Mortons Lite Salt just for that reason (it's Potassium Chloride

instead of NaCl.) Anyway, I started eating the salt, and began to

feel a little better...but then she offered me some Gatorade. Within

5 minutes the numbness in my hands had gone away, and my heartrate

had returned to normal. Has this ever happened to anyone here? On

the one hand, I think it's wonderful that our bodies are so fine

tuned that they tell us when they need something, on the other hand,

my dad died of a massive heart attack so any little thing with the

heart scares me. I'm not taking any chances...I'm not going to work

out until I can get a Dr's appt. and get an EKG and Stress Test. If

I think you had the right instinct. Although I have never

experienced something like this, I have experienced the " symptoms " of

dehydration. I think I explained this a few days ago to when

trying to convince her to drink water that when you don't hydrate

yourself, you screw up your blood electrolytes (ie sodium, potassium)

and that can lead to some strange symptoms. Gatorade not only is

loaded with water, it is also loaded with electrolytes and helps

restablish normal electrolyte equilibrium in the blood. However, it

is also loaded with glucose which increases its caloric value (but

that's another subject).

I think it is safe to check with a doctor, however, I'm pretty

certain that you are ok.

Yikes Toni, that sounds really scary!! I hope you get in to see a doctor

soon. That was the right decision to hold off on the 21 DC until you get a

clean bill of health! Keep us updated!

Toni,

Is it possible that you had a panic attack? Whenever you are tired, over

stressed etc. They can happen pretty easy. And don't let the name confuse

you...you don't really have to be panicky about any. Sometimes when I get

them my chest pounds and I have so many symptoms including numbness and cold

because I am not breathing slow enough for my lungs to pick up oxygen.

Well, you definitely have a good excuse for stopping the 21DC, LOL. Toni,

this may be the wake up call you need to get yourself checked out,

especially with your family history. I'm glad it worked out OK yesterday

and I sure hope you get good news from your doctor.

That must have been very scary. I'm so glad you are

OK. I pray the tests show everything's OK and just

from underhydration.

The heart is nothing to mess with. I had two friends

die within 1 week of each other of heart attacks 2

years ago November. One of them was a smoker and was

trying to get his health back in order, so he had just

successfully quit smoking. I still get amazed how

someone can die and yet you can take their heart out

and put it in someone else and it starts beating away.

It is amazing how the body works and when it's time to

go, it's time to go. Yes, it can make a person queasy.

Every once in a while, I'll watch Discovery or TLC,

but can only watch those ER and Forensic shows for a

bit.

need one?!??!

I have things like that happen to me especially over the next couple

of days where I am studying like crazy for an exam on Tuesday and an

assignment I have to complete tonight, so I know how you feel. I

experience those attacks except for the numbness, although I am

getting a lot of pins and needles (this is an aussie saying incase

you haven't heard it before).

Toni,

Is it possible that you had a panic attack? Whenever you are tired, over

stressed etc. They can happen pretty easy.

Let me begin by thanking ALL of you for your responses, suggestions, and

knowledge that you've offered me since my post yesterday. You guys are the

greatest!!!

a, I had a panic attack about a year ago and it scared the bejeezes out of

me. To be quite honest, the situation Tuesday night was almost identical

(except last year I didn't have the numb fingers). I have been unsuccessful in

getting an appointment with a Cardiologist in the very near future (like

sometime this week), so I have resorted to talking to my Orthopedic Surgeon and

my GYN about what happened and they all say that given my level of health and

fitness, Panic Attack is their theory also...but they still suggested that I get

checked out. Yesterday I 'think' I felt a palpatation here and there (but I'm

not sure if it was in my mind or not, because at that point, I was almost too

focused on my heartrhythm). Today, I feel normal...but still trying to get to a

Dr.

Toni-who's feeling better, but still waiting to workout

What is that old saying....it doesn't take a Rocketscientist to

figure this one out.......I personally think YOU already figured it

out...although I do highly recommend a trip to the old Dr.

You are wise to listen to your body, we praying for yah...

peace

AmyBeth-who remembers your level of intensity when you work out

(sweating like does) and is very sure it is the lack of

Potassium and other nutrients you were denying yourself that was the

culprit have had heart palpitations...when I smoked.....and worked

out to that intensity......mine btw were linked to Anxiety attacks!!!

You guys would faint at the idea of what I sometimes do in a day's

regular work!

a's hypothesis is right on as well! Hyperventilating can give

numbness in the extremities, due to a lack of appropriate oxygenation

of those areas.

I am so sorry that your brother was involved in a car accident! I'm

glad to hear that he is doing better! I will definitely keep him and

your family in my thoughts and prayers! Please, don't even worry

about your 21DC! You can do a 21DC any time! Take this time to be

with your family! I hope that your brother recovers quickly!

LeAnn, I am so sorry to hear about your brother. Your excercise can

certainly wait. Good to hear he's doing better. You take care of

yourself!!
