Heart pounding question


[re...]

Recommended Posts

 

I'll be laying on my stomach and my heart will pound in the

Abdominal region for a few minutes and stop for a few minutes then

Will restart for a awhile.

This will continue on and off for sometime then stop for hours to days

 

Does anyone else have this?

Does anyone else have this 10 plus months out?

Hi Reba!

 

Yes I have this too and I am 17 months out.  I have off and on palpitations, short runs of fast heart rate, some skipped or early beats, and extra forceful beats, all of which are annoying but benign.  I did have a complete work up with a cardiologist and all was normal.  Heart symptoms such as these are pretty common in withdrawal, but if you need reassurance that all is normal, have your symptoms investigated by your doctor.  It will at the very least give you peace of mind.

Hi Reba

I had this also...I had it checked out in ER...the 4th beat was delayed ( felt liked skipping or jumping) it showed up on the EEG, and then on a 3 day heart monitor... just like I felt it.....

They called it Premature Ventricular Contractions....they were very bothersome about 4-5 months into withdrawal. They have now disappeared.

You may want to get them checked out, but know this is a BWD symptom.

Best wishes.

I got this a lot at the beginning when my abdominal muscles were cramping, and still get it occasionally when my tummy is bloated. Same with noisy heart beat in your ear when you lie down, and skipped beats. It's annoying but benign. I can sometimes relieve it by laying on my back and doing diaphragm breathing.
