18. Extrasystole  — 1 year ago

Every now and again, my heart likes to throw in a few extra beats. Just as a bit of a bonus, I like to think. :-)

I first noticed it last year… obviously, at a time when I was incredibly stressed. I wasn’t too worried about it, but saw my doctor just so that he was aware of it. He organised a Holter monitor… which I had to wear for 24 hours. The results were nothing alarming. Apparently it’s quite common for people to experience this.

Mostly I notice it when I’m sitting quietly. It’s an odd sensation… and quite weird to have my attention drawn to a process that usually continues on without me noticing in any way whatsoever.

oooh

i have that too. exactly the same: when i’m sitting quietly. all of a sudden it kind of trips or coughs. perhaps it has to get something off its chest, i don’t know. it really is a strange sensation.
i fasted a couple of times, and the worst thing was being able to hear by heartbeat in my head/ears the whole time. it drove me mad. it’s another of those things i don’t like thinking about.

yep

me too.

coming off caffeine helps…

So, LL....

When people say that you’re a heart-throb, they aren’t joking around? :)) Nice pic.

Yeah, LL

I’ve heard and read (after a couple of us in the family experienced this) that it is quite a normal thing. Apparently your body just needs to adjust every now and again and get back into rythm so to speak…...
