heart feel funny how?

[swtrthnwn]

symptom of hyperthyroidism - palpitations, racing heart beat (that's just the beginning of the list). caffeine exacerbates it, and my pulse went a little high and i can FEEL my heart in my chest. it's all fluttery.

well, it happens to me at least a few times a day, recently. that, and when i stand up i start to black out.

My heart does that too! Sometimes I'll just be lying in bed or something. It happens most often at the gym though and my doctor did an echocardiogram. He said there were no abnormalities and that I should just stretch and breathe a bit when it happens. I don't know if that helps you at all, but it really does help me.

i'll have to try that. i have a heart murmur anyway, but it has not been diagnosed as anything in particular, nothing showed up on my echocardiogram either. it's not really a worry for me, just bothersome. (except that my heart rate is a bit high for comfort).

dude, i need my insurance back, i wonder how my thyroid is holding up. (as i am having more and more symptoms of hyperthyroidism).
