Heart Palpations!

Hello Friends,
Just curious to know if anyone has experienced a kind of heart fluttering or i guess it would be called a palpation??? I don't know if this is related to anything with Fibro...but, it is a strange feeling, I have no pain or dizziness...just when i am relaxing in the evening i start feeling a flutter type sensation??? I plan to get it checked out this week.

Just curious if anyone has ever experience this? I am a 48 yr old woman and have heard pre-menopausal women can have this. I had a hysterectomy at a young age...so, not sure if this is connected to me or not??? Please let me know if anyone deals with this...just came on within the last couple of weeks and is a every night thing!

Thanks for any input and i do hope everyone is feeling the best they can be. So nice to be a part of this where we can all relate in some way or another. Love and Blessings to all! Thank you for all replies as this is somewhat concerning to me! XO

Google "orthostatic intolerance" and see if it fits what you're feeling. I am in NO WAY suggesting you should self-diagnose, but it might provide some clues to take to your doctor visit which you definitely need to have.

OI is very common in those with fibromyalgia - it's another one of those things no one can explain - what the relationship is and why - but there is a lot of it around.

I have this happen all the time. I kept asking my DR about it, and she kept telling me it was anxiety. So finally, my heart was racing on the weekend and I rushed to the DR and they caught it. I had an abnormal EKG and was admitted in the hospital for tests. They found that my heart was basically fine and said the tachycardia was from deconditioning.... I even had to wear a halter monitor for a few days too. Very annoying, they just told me to work out more and it would help it.

I'll be watchign for your followup here after your Wednesday appointment. I have palpitations a lot, have for years... Since I HAVE had it for years, I figure i'm fine. But I do get kind of annoyed that when I first started getting worked up for MS, because of all the neuro symptoms, when they'd ask if i get palpitations, and I"d say yes, it meant nohthing. just on to the next question. weird.
