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.  

I'm on my way to work, but after work I will  be glad to email you.
