Heart Palpitations

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 reassurance made the panic I was feeling go away. I might follow up with him in a few weeks and ask him about the stress test/WPW. Thank you for the info. I had never heard of it until now.

And thank you to everyone else for your imput. Really makes me feel like I'm not alone!

Funny to see this post today. I was doing a Cathe chest and back tape yesterday using 20lb weights and felt fine. But then in the afternoon everytime I got up from my desk at work I felt light headed and if felt like my heart was going to pop out of my chest.

I went to the doctor this morning. She is sending me for an EKG and bloodwork to be safe, but she thinks I just over did it on the weights.
