The hills are calling me. JoesDad has to go to Leeds today, short notice, for a couple of days for work, so I have grabbed my boots and my binoculars and I'm off to my beloved Yorkshire moors for a couple of days bird-watching :) I spent my teenage years in the Yorkshire Dales. :)

Good morning.
last night out of the blue my heart started pounding again. I was just chilling and hanging out with the dog without another thought or worry on my mind.
I checked my pulse...186. This morning it's still 183. I'd say maybe these pills aren't very effective.
Back to square one for sh-ts sake!
Feeling like crap. Every action is such a drain. I showered 20 minutes ago and I'm already sweating.
I'll call my cardiologist after 9. It's not even 5 am.

The thing is I know the cardiologist is going to toss me back into the hospital....So that they can find nothing again. Tell me that it's stress even though there is none now.
I haven't felt like myself for a pretty long time. It would be nice to have someone diagnose this. I think it might be something with my oxygen intake. If I hook myself up to my pulse thing and breath deeply, my pulse momentarily goes down just a bit.
I was knocked out twice in my football career and both times I felt just like this when I came to. Both times I had the "wind knocked out of me" by a helmet in the abdomen.
It's been noticed in the past that I don't breathe very deeply.
When I worked at the body shop across the street, I sprayed a lot of seriously dangerous chemicals. I just think I should mention shallow breathing and oxygen saturation as possibilities.
This is the same feeling you would have if you held your breath until you almost passed out. Except that it wont go away....For days.
It seems as if my guess is at least as good as those QUACKS in doctors gowns.

Unfortunately sometimes doctors look at the immediate symptoms and not the root cause. They just process you and ship you out. :(

I have had back problems over many years that rarely present as back pain.

The first bad problems came with a pain at the bottom of my chest just under my rib cage. It felt like someone was trying to force a tennis ball under my ribs. After several weeks of traipsing in and out of hospital, I finally saw the main man who got me to stand up and looked at my back and decided he wanted to refer me to a physio. It turned out to be referred pain due to misalignment in my upper spine. Once it was released, I was absolutely fine again.

A couple of years later I had a bad pain in my groin. I could barely walk. I burst into tears when a doctor sent me away from hospital with "well at least there's nothing wrong with your hip", some crutches and some painkillers. The nurse in the cubicle with me was really, nice and clearly very annoyed with the doctor's attitude to me. I referred myself privately (I had to pay) back to the physio I saw before and she told me to get my GP to refer me to the local neurological unit where a CAT scan revealed a prolapsed disk in my lower back. Two operations and six months off work and I was fixed.

That was 10 years ago. I know now. At the first sign of weird pain, I head back to the physio and she straightens me out. Some of the doctors doctors have been flipping useless.

I just downloaded another free phone app.
The one for pulse rate is spot on. I compared it to the one at the hispital.
Now I've got another one for oxygen saturation and I'm at 96-97%.
So it's not that. This one also works through the camera, though don't ask me how.
There are some seriously cool free apps!

Sounds like the same symptoms my dad had last year! He is so stressed out taking care of his 95 yr old parents. It has worn him down and he was hospitalized and they didn't find anything wrong with his heart.

Hopefully for you it's just stress and worry.
Maybe you need a nice cold beer or glass of wine in the evening to relax;)
