As some of you may know...Ive had heart realted symptoms for a while now. On the one hand, I feel as if im getting better..hardly any palps now..Ive come down from having a lot to just nticing maybe a couple of subtle flutters..sometimes none at all in a day. My chest tightness/wheeze also seems to be gradually shifting...Ive had two ECGS both normal..Docs seem to think its nothing serious...But now, ever since i had tht episode of near fainting after the blood test..I feel jolts of lightheadedness when im up and about...it catches me momentarily and i feel off balance..sometimes i get bad jolts and i think i might pass out again..im terrified...Im due to have a 24 hr holter fitted on the 15th....anyone else relate to this..I had a bad dream this morn abt my symptoms so ive only had 2 hrs sleep!! nt making me feel any better!

btw, my pulse always seems steady/regular when i check it. although at night or when im tired/worn out..it can be as a low as 55/56 bpm.

Hiya,
I can relate to the lightheadedness totally, im having a really bad time of it at the moment. Im actually waiting for the doctor to ring any time now, as i have been getting weird sensations in my chest area....so im scared its my heart, and also alot of pressure feeling in my head....so im scared its my head. Im at a total loss with it all now so hense the doctor ringing.
So i can relate to how you are feeling and why you are anxious about it, sorry i cant be of any help tho!

Take care
Debs x
