Guest guest Posted December 22, 2010 Report Share Posted December 22, 2010 6 months off wiley. in last 9 months started getting rapid heart beat 1/2 hour after going to bed which lasts 2 hours. debiltating. almost called ambulance. each episode occuring more frequently than prior one (3 months, 2 months, 1 months, 3 weeks, and last night was 1 week from last one). blood test a month ago ruled out heart problem. dr said go to er when it next hapens so they can log it. so i went last night. they said " atrial fibrillation " , heart rate double normal (143) for 2 hours. im always low blood pressure but it was high during episode. they wanted to shoot me with drugs to avoid a stroke but i said no since i knew the attacks go away in 2 hours. luckily it did! they made appt for me to see cardiologist today. he said there is no reason i have it as im too young (51. this usually occurs age 70+) and healthy and dont do any of the common causes (cigs, drugs, alcohol, coffee, caffeine, diet pills). i told him about being on controversial high-dose hormone protocol (wiley) for one year, stopping 6 months ago cuz of problems and he lit up " why did you do that?! messing with hormones can be hard to rectify and affects the whole body " . so thats probably what happened. wiley strikes again. where when is the class action lawsuit??????? annoying night sweats returned last few months so started normla low dose bioidentical hormones with new hormone dr last week but not sure my body can handle any. she has me on both E and P. right away i got insomnia, where as i had been sleeping perfectly. the night sweats only slightly better. then this heart problem last night. im typing this now because im too afraid to go to sleep cuz thats when rapid heart beat occurs. new hormone dr said low estrogen causes heart palpitations. but she said night sweats would go away in 3 days so why havent they and why did heart problem occur again? ive spent so much money in last yr and half on this hormone venture. (luckily have insurance for er and cardiologist). ive gained 30 lbs (not like me. ive always been fit) in last 9 months. blood test said thyroid fine. lyn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
