What Causes Remedy For Severe Heart Palpitations?
H, I am a 33 year old woman. Last year I had a kidney stone, which the doctors made me keep for almost an month. After not passing it and 40 pounds, I had to have surgery to remove it. About two weeks after surgery I started to feel really bad at least once a day. I didn’t think it was my heart but my hands and feet would get very sweaty. I would shake un-controllably. I would feel the need to communicate but it was hard for me to do it.
I do have acid relax and I’m talking meds for it. When the heart palpations starts I feel a tight feeling on the left side of my neck. I would feel the need to belch constantly but get no relief from it. My heart goes up to 160 and it varies from the time. Sometimes it last 5 mins sometimes it last an hour. When I’m not having major heart palpations, I have small ones where I can feel my heart going faster than it suppose to but it’s not bothering me as much as the major one does. The smaller ones can last up to 2 days or more.
I have wore a heart monitor for 14 days and even had a echo on my heart and they can’t find anything. I am borderline anemia and have been since 11. I have always had low blood pressure. I try to drink plenty of water to stay hydrated. I do try to eat healthy but sometimes I slip and go to McDonalds, which I found out that greasy foods have me feeling like I’m going to die after about two hours.
Also, I get them mainly at night. If I am falling asleep I wake suddenly and it feels like my heart is going to tear a hole in my chest.
It’s been going on for 7 months now. Can someone tell me what this may be?

as the symptoms started after your surgery it can be a infection.in any operation foreign tools are inserted in closed atmosphere of our body,though an antibiotic coverage is usually given,but usually antibiotic post surgery is given without any culture or sensitivity testing...in your case may be you were resistant to the class of antibiotics given
acid peptic reflux poor sleep anxious nature and a recent surgery all may be caused due to increases anxiety levels also
as echo ecg is normal hr of 160 can be because of anxiety or post surgery trauma or any septic infection as a complication post op
i would suggest you to go for
urine routine n microscopy to rule out a urinary infection
a repeat heamogram
to watch the suture site for any pus or reddning
esr test
a benzodiapene can thereafter be taken to relieve stress anxiety level
