Susie's Profile

Hey Susie: I noticed that you've been having a rough time lately & food and drink has been making it worse. I recently got allergy tested for food allergens. I just called an allergist told them my symptoms- mentioned heart palpitations last of course so they would take me seriously & they made my appt. Found I am allergic to a ton of foods- pepper, garlic, onions, all grains, most nuts cocoa, coffee, teas etc. I cut them out of my diet (which has been brutal) & am feeling some significant relief. My allergist was shocked & asked if I ever had tightness in my chest etc- & said he truly believes ALOT of that was/is my allergies, not anxiety. I know I still get anxiety but it was nice to have someone say this is causing those symptoms as well and I think ANYONE would get anxious over heart palpitations. Just a thought, worth mentioning for you to go and get tested? Hope you start feeling better soon, don't let it get the best of you.

Hi Susie, I hope you're doing well today!
I noticed that we both live in WA! What area are you from?

thanks for the message! you said you ahve been getting yours since your late 20's. have they gotten worse over the years or just stayed about the same?

Hi Susie. I 'THINK' I did the "Friend" bit right but I'm still learning the "workings" of this forum

Happy New Year to you, too, Susie. I know I should be in bed by now, got to get back to work tomorrow and that means up early. The last two days have been good. No problems that I have noticed. I like it when it is that way. Got all of our Christmas things down too and now things seem to be back to normal, as much as they can with a seven year old and a thirteen year old. Have a great Monday!

Thanks Susie. Happy New Year to you too!

Thanks, Susie. I hope the same for you. I think I need to let go of some stresses and just think more positively. They say this will not kill us, but sometimes it sure makes you think you are going to keel over, huh? I go back to work on Monday, been off from teaching for the last two weeks for the holidays. Maybe getting myself and the family back on our regular schedule will make things a bit less stressful. Hope you are doing well.

hi susie i hate those stomach ones too sumtimes if u have a belt on or bend down that can set them off too, iv have these wierd bubblin quivering flutterings since i was 11 im 38 im suprised im alive with some of the chronic attacks iv had. iv had to live with with them but i hate them they are ruining my life i also get it wen my heart beat almost goes and is like a faint flutter

Thanks for your concern susie. Long story short I am doing fine and the bigeminy has not reared its ugly head since that horrible sunday night. The visit to the cardioligist went good. they did a echocardiogram and a stress test,the echocardiogram came out just fine and about the only thing it showed was some mitral valve regurgitation but the structre of the valve was normal.

Which leads me to believe all of this was more or less just a biproduct of the stressful things that had happened over the past year...has a way of catching up with you ya know!

Well take it easy as I have to go put on some dinner!
