I posted about this about a month ago. The only difference is that mine was skipped heartbeats. Since then, I have had every heart test imaginable...all normal...except that I do still have the beats and the doctor thinks its a body adjustment or some type of anxiety/stress, since they are...

Hi cataddict, I was not given a stress test, and the doctor said that he did not think that the holter test was necessary for now. He said to wait it out and if they progressed or got worse, then to come back and see him. They have not gotten worse---in fact, they have lessened. Maybe the...

Thank you all! I had no idea how common they were until I posted! I'm so glad I did! I am still worried, but just "less worried" now that I have had an EKG and blood work done. I think the worry I am feeling now is just based on my own anxiety, or as tneah said, "it's all in my noodle"...

Hi everybody, Thank you for your comments. I am not on any medications, but yes, I am under some pretty heavy stress---just due to typical everyday life stuff---I just bought a house, am working 2 jobs...etc...Since the doctor gave me the "okay", I feel better...but of course, if they don't...

Hi everyone, I recently had a physical because I was having heart palpitations, which felt like my heart was skipping beats. I have no history of heart problems in my family. The doctor did blood work, an EKG and an overall physical and said I was in great health. He then explained that...

This quote is anything but offensive. In fact, it is clearly stating the opposite...My take on it was that it is putting everyone on an equal level...I suppose it is open to interpretation, but I would say that calling it offensive or racist is a stretch.

Have you ever heard of the DVD called "Hip Hop Abs"? You would get some great ideas from there...all standing ab exercises...Don't let the "hip hop" part fool you...a lot of these moves could be used in a traditional muscle conditioning class.

Awesome question. I also teach a lot and mostly at night, so by the time I get home, I'm like a human vacuum....so bad!

Hi Bam, I wore those fake ponytails that you can buy at the stands in the mall...for at least two years straight! I became dependent on them because they were so easy to put on and use...I have since cut my hair quite short (actually, Katie Holmes just recently went out and got my...

Ya' know, that's a good question.... I didn't think to ask if she was only referring to cardio, but I believe that she was, because the question came up while another member was asking about how many kickboxing classes a week would be safe for her to teach. There are some instructors that I...

Hey Christine, When I took my AFAA certification last year, the instructor advised that the maximum classes they recommend is seven per week. I'm not sure if that's changed in the past year. I'm not sure if I agree with it, especially if the classes are different types...I think teaching...

I ordered this book from Amazon three weeks ago and still have not received it!!! I am so anxious to read it!

I think it would be easier for me to list the foods that don't make me lose control!!! (A very short list, including broccoli and.......liver!) :P

All great ideas! I'm starting to think my problem is turning from having no ideas to debating over which one I will pick!!!!!!:D
