Almost blacking out

[wiskersonkittens]

Hello friends... I just had a frightening experience. My heart started beating funny and I felt like I was about to black out... like when you stand up too fast. Now I am jittery and scared. I have always gotten a clean bill of health from my doctors. I know I am more depressed lately and a little stressed, and our air conditioning is out so I am also hot and uncomfortable. Perhaps these are factors but I'm worried and don't want to spiral downward again to where I used to be. :( Wiskers

Were you sat down when this happened? X

Yes... I was sitting and kind of leaning then I felt funny in my heart and felt a little funny in my head which prompted me to start getting up. Then I felt that wave and got to my bedroom and it passed and I was thinking What on earth was THAT???

Anyone who feels faint with a heart rhythm disturbance needs to get it caught on a monitor. Hope it's just a few ectopics as they can mess with your circulation. :)
