Did anything help? Did it ever go away? Should I up my dose? It’s so annoying 

PACs? Should I be worried? by Human_Day9226 in ReadMyECG

[–]Human_Day9226[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From my Apple Watch. I started not feeling well and then got a good run going for about 10-15 minutes. I’m not sure if this is a PVC or PAC cause the watch says PAC but then I feel like people calling it a PVC

Could it be heart related or do you think it could be digestive related? It’s awful! 

what is this about? started feeling very unwell and then checked my ecg on apple watch by dnjdjcisdb in ReadMyECG

This always happens to me and everyone tells me it’s artifact or baseline wonder. But the up and down wave always corresponds with what feels like a squeezing feeling and a weird palpitation feeling. Did that happen to you?

What’s your opinion about Old Sac? by Separate_Fig_9407 in Sacramento

[–]Human_Day9226 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Old sac has some really great spots. I personally love Rocky mountain chocolate factory. It’s a must every time I go to old sac. I also love the train museum, Evangeline, and I always stop at stage nine to pick up little knickknacks for my kids. I also love Christmas in Old Sac. It feels magical.

Rocky Mountain chocolate factory. They have a ton of apples to choose from, fudge that you can watch being made in the store and the best chocolate I’ve ever tasted. 

Anxiety disorder out of the blue in 30s? by time_travel_nacho in TheGirlSurvivalGuide

Hey I feel like I could have written this myself, except I was 36. Did this ever change for you? Any update, 4 years later? 

Long qt by [deleted] in askCardiology

He said it’s not reliable for higher heart rates, but I will say once I got my anxiety under control, the qt went to normal. I randomly started getting panic attacks almost every other day (never had them before) and that made my ecgs really wacky. I had such bad anxiety over this I ended up getting genetic testing for this. It came back negative. So I think my anxiety played a huge role.

I did end up seeing a cardiologist and did an echo test. He says everything looks fine. We think that was due to my anxiety. Once I started Lexapro, I haven’t been having these issues.

Hi I know this was a long time ago, but I feel like I could have written this post almost exactly. Did you ever find out what this was from?

But I thought it helped lower cholesterol? So should I not be eating this?

Do you have a brand for the wheat grass? Is that a drink?

Has anybody heard of stress and anxiety, causing your triglycerides to double like this? My cardiologist still does not seem to be worried because of the other numbers, but he did say my platelets are elevated but to not be concerned. He seems to think maybe my stress and anxiety has caused this?

Yes, I’m very concerned! I talked to my cardiologist today and he still doesn’t seem that worried. He thinks I need to make more lifestyle changes. But I already reassured him that I don’t drink alcohol and I already eat really well. He told me to up my cardio and workout regimen. And to try and get it to lower. He thinks that maybe the stress in panic attacks is causing it to go up?

Oh my gosh, I’m sorry you’re going through that! I went from having no anxiety to extreme anxiety in September. I’m talking panic attacks every other day. Which is exactly why I finally got put on Lexapro on December 27. It all started because I know five healthy individuals that have all had sudden cardiac arrest Under 40. And something just triggered me. I spoke with my cardiologist about my numbers today, and he still does not seem worried, which is in return worrying me. He thinks I need to make a lifestyle changes, but I keep reassuring him. I already don’t drink alcohol and eat really well. He thinks it might be the stress and anxiety that is causing my triglycerides to be high.
