this morning. It was partly my fault because I didn't take my beta blocker for the palpitations last night. Fell asleep watching TV and I didn't wake up until 7 this morning. Got up to get my coffee and by the time I got back to bed, there were no regular heart beats, just one palpitation after another. Then it started; the coldness that sweeps down my whole body but this time it concentrated in my back... wave after wave of it. Then the doubt sets in; is it only panic or is this more serious? I'm pounding on my chest to hopefully get a few normal beats in but that doesn't work. I cough as hard as I can, but nothing. I get up and walk around a bit and that seems to work but only for a few mintues. This couldn't have lasted more than 15 minutes, but it felt like 15 days. Then on top of it, hubby leaves for LA for the day. ggrrrr I didn't say anything about the panic or him going. All I would have gotten is "What do you want me to do?" and not in a sincere tone, either. Finally the meds take effect and I'm drained! I took a nap but I don't know for how long. I'm still drained but someone's working on my kitchen and it needs to get done to easy some of my stress... so he stays. I'm not going to send him home. Besides... if something else happens, at least I won't be alone. Like he could help! LOL He's slightly retarded and highly emotional. ... and he talks my head off!! Still, it's better that way.
