Irregular Heart Rhythm

[Guest guest]

Out of the blue the last couple of weeks my heart beat has been

irregular. Normally the beat is steady, may be faster or slower at

certain times, but it always beats in rhythm. Now it isn't.

Instead, it beats and then there will be a hesistation before the

next beat and when it comes I will feel a thump in my chest.

Sometimes it only happens once in a while, other times it is like

every 3rd or 4th beat is doing this.

It is VERY scary and concerning to me. I am afraid I am going to

have a heartattack or something. I do not have pain, shortness of

breath and my heart RATE is normal, under 90. I am not anxious and

don't suffer from any anxiety disorders or panic issues.

Can Lyme cause Heart Arrythmia and if so, is it permanent or can it

go away with Lyme treatment.

My second area of concern is this. I have seen an LLMD once who

says I am suspicious for chronic Lyme. He wanted to put me on 3

weeks of Zithromax (Doxicycline was his first choice, but it has a

history of upsetting my stomach and he said it wasn't worth the risk

for testing.) After 3 weeks he wants to be get a new blood draw and

get retested w/Igenex to see if my indeterminate bands turn

positive.

Does this sounds like a sound and normal approach to testing?

I am SO scared about this heart thing, I would greatly apprectiate

any information or experiences other board members have had with

this.

Thankyou.
