christinekerib 9 Posted November 5, 2015 Just wondering if anyone else has a problem out of know where with palpitations, the last two days I feel them and they are driving me nuts. When I'm chillin or trying to go to sleep or driving they pop up like every minute or so. I told my doctor and blood pressure was a little high not to bad and heart rate was fine, So idk.

Ryan TN 348 Posted November 5, 2015 Yes, I have heart palpitations, or in my case, they are PVCs. They are pretty common, BUT, you should make sure there isn't any underlying heart disease. I had a stress test done with a cardiologist. Mine are sometimes related to stress, but not always. They are very annoying. Actually, you aren't feeling the palpitation, but the beat after it because the heart chamber fills with extra blood. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

WLSResources/ClothingExch 3,444 Posted November 6, 2015 @christinekerib -- I'd see my primary and ask about a referral to a cardiologist. I don't really know what palpitations are or what they possibly indicate, but it seems that an exam and EKG are a good idea. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
thbrown223 214 Posted November 6, 2015 (edited) I was having palpitations one week post op. They stopped during my 2 week post op. My doctor told me it was probably from not getting enough of my fluids. The 1st 2 days after I was discharged from the hospital, I didn't get in my minimum Fluid intake. After getting some IV fluids. The palpitations started to subside. So far completely gone. I'm 3 weeks post op. Edited November 6, 2015 by thbrown223 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
christinekerib 9 Posted November 6, 2015 I've talked to my primary she is having me go to a cardiologist to get it checked out. I am dehydrated I get about 4-5 Water bottles a day and I'm still dehydrated I seriously can't drink more then that lol and my Nutrionist wants me to eat 1000 calories and sometimes I'm stuffed till I go to bed so adding water on top of that ugh so hard so it might have something to do with being dehydrated.
