 Posted: 07/24/08 - 13:20 Post subject: Heart Felt Like it was Stopping |
  |
|
I'm a 25 year old male. I stand about 6'1, and weigh about 270lbs. I am overweight/obese, but I have been attempting to get more active in order to condition myself and loose weight.
Yesterday I was playing hockey for 3 hours, a pickup game. I started my shift, about 4 min later, I got off, my heart of racing pretty good since I exterted quite a bit during my shift. However a minute of so after getting off, my heart went from racing super fast to slowing down to it felt like NOT beating, I couldn't feel anything in my chest or my kneck. My vision started to go black. At that point I thought I was having a heart attack, however just as quickly as it came it left. I felt better, especially after I burped and released some gas (I had eaten 1.5 hours prior to hockey a Subways sandwich). I played the rest of the evening at the same intensity with no problems.
Now I can say this isn't the first time that this has happened to me. One time while changing my Camry's tire, I was tighting a bolt with a torque wrench, put in a lot of effot, suddenly I felt this rush and my vision went black, heart started to beat super fast and it passed however...was it a change in blood pressure? It felt like it did yesterday, except for the heart feeling like it slowed down to nothing.
A couple years ago I had a full physical done. Blood work came back with good results, good good cholesterol and low bad cholesterol. I had an ECG done, which also came back absolutely normal. I am due for another one, so perhaps I should make another appointment.
I'm worried about yesterday. Anyone ever have such a problem or hear of it? Should I be concerned. I felt prefectly fine afterwards and today. Heart is beating fine, blood pressure is normal.
Thanks. |

| Sounds like you experienced idiopathic hypotension, and unexplained drop in blood pressure. It could be related to strenuous exertion, but i would certainly mention it to my doctor, especially if it happens again. |
