Hi SunshineGirl,
I've had an EKG not normal,sent to a cardiologist, went thru all the studies. All normal. Last night, my heart rate was 130, blood pressure 117/71 I take two blood pressure meds. I messed up and ate some dark chocolate, high in anti-oxidants and forgot it has caffeine in it. I stopped coffee. The high heart rate was awful. Will be extra careful. I have to be careful with low blood pressure too. The para sympathetic nervous system can drop it fast. I passed out for hour and half.60/40 My Dr. says becareful about dropping you head, I'm care about washing hair, shopping, watch how I bend down checking things out. Had to have hubby come and get me.
For stomach I eat Dannon Activa yogurt, oatmeal, mild foods. I just had a thorough check up for kidneys, liver, heart. All Ok. I've had this 13 years . I don't have panic attacks anymore since lorazepam, anti-anxiety med. I have my own blood pressure monitor and check it regularly. They aren't expensive at Costco.
Take care of yourself, your friend, loretta
