Sounds Mere, like we have a very similar profile. If you are on verapamil, do you have SVT as well?
Since I went on the beta blocker now my calves hurt really bad! No winning.
Your stuff will show up on the autonomic testing regardless of how you feel. I feel whacky ALL the time now. It is my new normal....but hey, I am still here!
Also, I go from bradycardia to this SVT....40 to 300 in a second, lol. Maybe I should go out and hold onto the electric fence again!??  |
I am sorry Cyclelops, from reading your posts, I know that you suffer terribly... Yes, I do have SVT. It was the first symptom that I had 17 years ago. It is usually under control - until I have an attack. Occasionally, I have breakthrough tachycardia, but usually when I have migraine or these attacks. I think the migraines are related too. Sometimes, they herald an attack.
It is nasty stuff... and there really is not much available for relief. I know I could go to the er... but then I think, what would they do? Tell me I am having anxiety attacks? That is what they used to say years ago when I did go to er in the beginning.
