Hey guys...
I regularly get faint palpitations around the time of my period, my Dad used to say that his mother got them too and that they were harmless. I've had my heart checked a couple of times.
BUT the other night I was really tired and I was actually woken up by really strong palpitations, that were frightening in their intensity and kept coming back, on and off, for about a half an hour. I also get very breathless at things like going up the stairs and see dark spots before my eyes at other times.
I didn't go back to work today because the doc said I shouldn't till the swelling calms down in my hands and feet. I feel like I'm not really sick; when I get up my ankles are nearly normal but after about an hour they are all swollen again and my hands are constantly puffy.
So I am going back to the doc. But just wondered if anyone else is feeling this way. I honestly don't think I would be able for 31 under sixes, no matter how my blood pressure was!
