Title: RLR - question regarding tachycardia
Post by jothenurse on Jan 19^th, 2011, 4:49am

RLR - just a question about my tachycardia episodes that I have. Things have actually been better with my tachycardia. I do shovel snow now and my pulse does go way up, but I try to reassure myself and not panic that this is due to exertion and I usually can calm myself. This morning, I had just been up for awhile and sitting in my kitchen when I heard my dog getting sick. So, went to her and I could feel my pulse starting to get rapid, bent over to clean a spot up, and my my heart started pounding like I used to get a lot and it did scare me. It's the tachycardia you can hear in your ears because of the pounding. I sat down and fanned myself and tried to reassure myself that this was just a built up of stress, and it slowed down within a couple of minutes. I guess I am just looking for some reassurance. It's always scary when that happens and I haven't had alot of trouble with that. It's like you lose a little confidence in yourself. Then you start thinking, is this just the stress or is this going to start happening a lot again? Just looking for some reassurance. I have to take the dog out soon, and when this happens, it kind of starts the scared feeling of not wanting to exert myself again.
