Hi folks I have been away a while and trying no exercise and exercise etc. I have posted about that on another thread. Casper I have also responds to you on the other thread. In a nutshell yes I have had those massive take your breath away thuds and have discussed at some length about them with Jeff on the exercise related thread. They only occur during intense exercise like running or eliptical trainer when pushing myself hard. I am unable to breath for a second or two and along with the thump I go lightheaded then the anxiety licks on to some order. Sometimes it has felt likey heart was overfilling with blood and not beating just blowing up like a balloon then bang the beat. Others just a great big thud like the mother of all beats and little flutters following. Since easing off on exercise and stopping running I have not had one that big. The last one scared me so much I ended up in the A+E (ER as you say in America). I was kept in overnight for OBs my bloods were fine it was as they say just an unusual thing on my
ECG they never explained that but said it's common in athletes but had not got a base
ECG of mine to compare it to. I was released again with no satisfactory explination other than I had not had a jeart attack. I am still at a loss Casper as they never showed up on my holter or stress test but that did not push me as far as I pushed myself running. Neil
