Chris H..

And thanks for joining in with the hormone debate Ha! ...... a brief
outline of my story is this ... two years ago i woke up with a severe
chest cramp, silly me did nothing about it and got ready for work, and
then became ill during the day, tired and just wanted to sleep felt ill
... went to the gp he said he thinks i had angina ... go home and rest
.... next day i was sent into hospital with a heart rate of 170 that
would not stop they thought it was a lung/clot, did CT all clear, they
did a 24 hour urine test all clear this was for something called
peocromocytoma .... through out i had an inccessant sinus tachycardia
that seemed to baffle ..... tried me on two beta bockers they did not
work .... (something happened to change the way my heart is bahaving)
... my heart now gives huge exagerated burst of tachycardia every time
i move, it goes 130 -160 just having a wash and getting dressed and is
up and down all day at high figures .... the cardiologist is not
concerned about it because they say it is in sinus rhythm he say's what
is happening is rare ...... he has just sent me to see a
electrophysiologist who did an ecg and says he won't recommend me for
an ablation because it is the SA node and is difficult to treat and
ablation normally results in permantly paceing the heart .... and now
wants to try me on another medication ....

sorry if i have gone on abit .....
