hi, i have 2 heart arrhythmia s, i have tried the ablasion and i have to many points of which this is happening that they are putting me on medication, the put me on nexium which i looked up and it says it takes care of heartburn, i dont have heart burn, does nexium affect the arrhythmia or is my doctor giving me the run around?

Hi there I'm a doctor who just completed my medicine and have been preparing for post graduate examinations for some time now. My problem is that I think I am a hypochondriac.. Two months back I had a throat infection for which I had taken erythromycin.. during the same time I had experienced sever hypnic jerks for one night which made me very anxious... I also had a little difficulty breathing the following morning I'm not sure if it was physical or psychological.. I thought of the throat infection to be haemophilus induced epiglottitis and got more scared and nervous in order to over come the breathing difficulty I used salbutamol inhaler like 5 to 6 times within a span of 20 minutes and that is what triggered the sever panic attack in me... I was hospitalized in some time and was under observation for about 5 hours... My blood pressure when I checked in was about 140/95 and my heart beat was around 150 with normal rhythm ...other vitals like oxygen saturation and everything else were normal.. I was given clonazepam tablet which got my pulse rate to 120.. Later I had a consultation with a physician who checked my heart and Lungs and told me that everything was fine and referred me to a psychiatric evaluation... Later the attending psychiatrist went through my detailed history which included a sedentary lifestyle since about a year and late hours of rigorous studying for examinations,over thinking about the out come of examinations and irregular sleeping patterns and told me that I'm suffering from clear case of anxiety and prescribed me a combination of clonazepam 0.25 mg and propranolol 10mg and asked me to take half tablet in the morning and one before bedtime... Initially I did not take those medicines because of the fear that they would cause dependency but after a week or so I started taking them because I was all time having unpleasant feeling like another panick attack might set it any minute and more over I was not able to concentrate on my studies either I also at times used to feel numb in my extremities and I used to hyper ventilate whenever I got anxious and to top it off I also developed globus hystericus which was very unpleasant and aggravated my anxiety considering all these symptoms I started taking the medication.. Which really did help me to over come those unpleasant symptoms and as of now I have tapered the dose and I'm only taking one pill during night b4 bed time and I'm doing considerably well... But at times if I stay awake late at night or do a night out I feel pain localized near my lower sternum it sometimes subsides almost immediately after I take pantoprazole and sometimes takes a little while like about an hour or two... Two days back I felt like I had an episode of arrhythmia for about 3 or 4 seconds which subsided almost immediately but since then I've become more anxious and started having palpitations I can also feel my abdomen move slightly with every pulse.. I know I'm being over reactive.. My height is 5'10 and I weight around 70kgs.. Presently I'm taking one clonazepam and propranolol combo during night and a centrum multivitamin... I would like to know as to how long should I continue taking clonazepam and should I get checked with a cardiologist for the palpitations and one arnica? And few tips on relaxing and being positive would be of great help... Thanks a lot

Hello Doctor:

Your opinion on the following health issue will be greatly valued and appreciated!!

Upon assuming the sleeping position(supine,left/right side) my Sp02 numbers drop significantly...from 96% to 91% and even further down than 90%. Recently when sleeping I am using an "oximeter alarm clock" to wake me up if drops are below 90%. Yesterday, the device woke me up 3-4 times between 11:30pm-1:30pm. When I woke and stood up...some form of cardiac arryhthmia took place and lasted for about 15-20minutes. This event was recorded on an event monitor given by my cardilologist. The ambulance was called...by the the paramedics came...the arrhythmia settled. I agreed to stay home and not go the emergency because a similar event had occured two days previously that resulted in me going and being dismissed from emergency.

I've been told that I suffer from anxiety/panic atttacks in the past...mostly happening at night and waking me during sleep or shortly after getting up from sleep. It is only recently that the significant drops in SpO2 during sleep/assuming sleeping positions were discovered by me through self experimentation by using an oximeter.

My question is if there is possibility that my previous so called "panic attacks" could have been caused by lower than normal previously unknown...SpO2 numbers and apneas events during sleep?

Is there such a thing as severe anxiety with normal SpO2 numbers? If so...could this type of "normal anxiety"...over the years if untreated....lead to significant SpO2 drops when in supine positions? Also could this anxiety eventually lead to major depression/apnea/arryhthmias?

If yes, how does psychiatry tackle this type of issue?

Thank you,
XXXXXXX

I have had low grade fevers for 6 months along with extreme fatigue. I have just started experiencing irregular periods. I have also had a positive mono spot test, but am negative for Epstein bar. I used to have a high white blood cell count but now its normal. I also have an arrhythmia and hypo-plastic sinus, any ideas what this is?

I have been diagnosed with Iron Deficiency Anemia . I had colonoscopy and upper Gi and everything was ok. I am 63 years so not menustrating. I was taking Iron supplements and being tested monthly and my Iron level was improved and normal. I quit taking the Iron and I have been feeling fatigued and also not thinking properly. I originally was diagnosed with Vit D deificiency and was having heart rythmia and went on Diltiazem . Are these related and should I go back on the Iron or go have a blood test . It has been 6 months since tested as I was normal finally and quit taking Vit about 6 weeks ago.

My mom is 68 years old and is experiencing many problems associated with congestive heart failure , high blood pressure and cardiac arrhythmia . She also smokes marijuana numerous times a day (prescribed for pain following chemotherapy after double mastectomy ). I am concerned that the smoking could have a deleterious effect on her heart. Any advise?

my heart is pounding irregularly. not really fast. just irregular and harder than normal.
