Quote From: emma08Thank for your reply. My friend told me about Premature Atrial Contractions just the other day, but I haven't spoken to my doctor yet. Sometimes, it feels like my heart quivers and about a week ago my heart began to beat fast and it lasted for about 10 minutes, I didn't know what was happening and I got so scared. It finally went away but when I went to bed all I kept thinking about was going to bed and not waking up, it was just a horrible night. My BP has always been normal, usually 121 over 80 something, it only gotten high when I was pregnant and when I was sick. My doctor put me on Wellburtrin XL for anxiety, but it hasn't helped. I don't know how to talk to her without feeling scared or that she think I'm an unfit mom or something like that. it's just so hard dealing with all this, I just wish it would go away and let me live my life. Thanks again for listening.

Why do they do that? Do they hear so many whiny, please -give-me-pills patients that they just stop listening to everyone? I don't want pills. I want to know if it is physical first. The Adrenal glands on top of the kidneys produce a lot of hormones, some affect heart rhythm,rate. Others like adrenalin and cortisol have to do with stress reaction and mood and metabolism. I have told my doctors that I have a "rock" in my left kidney when pressed, and sometimes it throbs and hurts to the point I get nauseated. And what hormones do they continue to test? My THYROID! It's like ,if it isn't your thyroid , you need a shrink. They wont even check for kidney stones. Crap I'd be afraid to go in for hemorrhoid removal, you'd probable get your foot amputated.
I'm just going to keep complaining about it maybe one of my docs will hear me eventually. Either that or I'm going to exaggerate a little and hit the ER next time it happens.
Try to have a good day.
Leslie
