newone · Guest

I'M A 37 YEAR OLD MALE, I BELIEVE I'M PHYSICALLY FIT AND I'M TYPICALLY VERY CALM. FOR THE PAST COUPLE OF WEEKS I HAVE BEEN HAVING SLEEPLESS AND RESTLESS NIGHTS WITH HEART PALPITATIONS, I'VE NOTICED THAT I'VE LOST ABOUT 10LBS IN ABOUT 2 WEEKS, I BURP ALL DAY LONG (EVER AFTER HOURS OF HAVING HAD EATEN), I'VE LOST MY APETITE AND COMPLETELY AT AN UNEASE STAGE. RECENTLY I WAS DIAGNOSED WITH HAVING H-PILORY BACTERIA OF WHICH I TOOK THE 2 WEEK PREVAC TREATMENT. THE CARDIOLOGIST SAYS THAT MY HEART IS FINE, BUT I FEEL DEEP DOWN INSIDE THAT THERE MIGHT BE SOMETHING REALLY WRONG. CAN ANYONE GIVE ME SOME INSIGHT. THANKS.

Hello did anyone reply to this below? My brother is having the same symptoms and I'd like to know if anyone has any information on this. The only difference is that my brother is 39 years old. If you have any information on this can you please post it. Thank you!!!

I have the same experience, minus the H Pylori. Talk to your doctor and exhaust all possible scenarios. Consider other possible triggers---medications, supplements, stress---even your weight and activities.
You might want to try and see if have a Hiatal Hernia as it may cause palpitations in some cases.

Hope this helps, and do Update us with your progress.

Hi All,

Im 21/M and have had similar problems to below. A month ago i was playing football when i got heart palputations and felt really weird, I got taken to hospital by ambulance and told my heart is fine i had a few ECG's and blood tests and still they have said im fine(Fit as an OX)

Im starting to wonder if its all in my head as I still feel ill from time to time now feeling sick and weak and even getting numbness in my hands.

Im under a lot of stress at work and ow a fair bit of money (Loans and credit cards) Could this be the cause?

If anyone has any help for me it would be much appreciated.

Thanks

Not to discourage you but I have had these symptoms for 10 years now, have been seen by doctors at every major hospital and clinic in KS, MO, and AZ including the Mayo Clinic and have met with complete incredulity and lack of initiative from all doctors, including several electro physiologists. THEY DON'T KNOW and have a hard time saying that. I am now pushing my internal medicine doc to do every darn test possible to figure out that it is. So far have discovered a"small" hiatal hernia. Good luck to you. I would not expect a doctor to reply to this thread though.

I am having the same problems! Weight loss, chest pain, rapid heart rate for no reason, Ive been to a cardiologist and doctors and the hospital numerous times. they say Im fine. they give me pain killers and anti anxiety medication...nothing is helping. I am beginning to think I am going crazy. I know I am not making it up! I don't feel like it is stress related although this has been going on for 2 months now and and it is really starting to emotionally drain me that no one knows whats wrong. If somone can help I am getting desperate. Email me at Happy2b4everfree@yahoo.com... PLEASE!

To respond to Chasey Vance and also the question above about whether these symptoms can be related to owing money, yes, I think they could. So many of these symptoms sound a lot like anxiety attacks. Owing money can cause this, and so can any accumulation of stress. Look at whether there is emotional stress from underlying issues from the past, and get a counselor to help you with that. Something emotional can trigger anxiety attacks, and medication alone seems to do a lousy job dealing with it because the cause needs to be dealt with (medicine is only a quick fix for the outside, but it doesn't last long and doesn't make you feel good knowing you might have to take it for a long time!)

Two helpful books that I was helped by when having these symptoms are books by Dr. Archibald Hart. I highly, highly recommend them. He has a lot of insight on stress and adrenalin. One is called 'Adrenalin and Stress,' and the other is something like '10 Steps to Dealing with Anxiety'. (something like that) I hope this helps!
