Hi all! I'm so glad I found this forum, I never though such a place existed.
I started having irregular heartbeats last Thursday evening... where my heart kind of misses a beat then beats hard and quick leaving my stomach feel like I am on a roller coaster! I had this all day today and went along to the after hours surgery where he says that this may have been caused by my tension headache medicine (Amitriptyline) and/or general anxiety/stress. I have been told to go to the doctors tomorrow for ECG and 24 hour monitor.
I really never knew that this heart problem even existed until now! And reading this forum educates me that this is not unusual. I can't believe that some of you have had this for years and years!
It's the strangest feeling ever! I have it now as I write. Saying that it it better than the headaches I get!! :)
So here I am, joining the dodgy heart club! :)
