Hey again, everyone.
I'm on edge with anxiety right now and haven't slept well.. I woke up feeling like my heart was struggling as it was rapid but very soft? I have no idea how that works.
So, about 4 days ago, I rushed to the ER for the second time in a few months.
Basically, I woke up just like today, with a steady and decent pulse probably about 75-80bpm but it felt like a forceful yet really faint beat in my chest and my neck. Like a really unpronounced beat, but fast like it was struggling. I'm used to heart slamming, but this was the exact opposite.. It just really freaked me out and I thought the worst, so I sat up, heart rate shot up and I just knew I'd be making a visit to the ER that day.
I went in, had an EKG, blood tests for any abnormalities and a chest xray which all came back fine.
They gave me a sedative with a saline flush, probably to bring my BP down a bit which was at 136/74.
Fast forward to today and I've been waking up with the same "over relaxed, soft, weak" heart beat and it really makes me worry. It just feels so unusual and I haven't been able to sleep well in forever because of it.
Any advice or reassuring words? ):
