Awful Night

[TracyL]

Hi Guys

Just wanted to tell you about the awful night I had last night. I posted a thread afew days ago about going through a phase with these awful weird beats etc. Last night though, they just went on all night. It was like every few beats. I kept telling myself to not panic and don't worry, i've been tested numerous times etc but its very hard to do. I kept trying to ignore them but it is so hard to just ignore them when they're happening. I get the weird, quick beating for a few beats, missed beats, extra thuds, the whole shabang. Does anyone have any ideas or thoughts on how you cope and just ignore them?

Thanks guys
Tracy

No easy answer to this one, after ages with few problems I had a 3 night period of the most awful ectopics enough to stop me sleeping. I took myself off to the GP who listened and said "harmlesss" just ignore them (easy for him to say !). Funny thing is once I had that bit of reassurance I did start to feel better so much so I did an hour and a half of circuit training two days later and not a murmur. Now I am getting them again but cant see what it is that triggers them. If youve had the tests and spoken to the quack its the usual advice , try and relax, cut out the caffeine and the alcahol and try to get your sleep. I do notice that even after the worst of nights I am always there the next morning to moan about it. I am what a consultant called "heart aware" and the secret is to be so involved in other things you dont notice what your heart is doing. Not easy but you will find a way to cope Im sure.

Hi

Thanks for that. I am definately going to try and ignore them and try to relax. I know I definately need to get more sleep as I do tend to stay up very late at night then have to get up very early for work.

thanks again
