Hi,
Over the years I have experienced increased frequency of
heart paplitations. I am only 33, I am very physically fit
and I eat fairly healthy. I do consume about one Pepsi a
day and sometimes some chocolate. I don't really drink coffee much.I am only concerned about the palpitations because
I don't seem to fit the classic profile of high stress, caffeine
consumption. And my palpitations happen daily for about
five or so seconds. They are very forceful and they usually leave me feeling
a little dizzy and cold sweat-like for about 10 seconds afterward.
Is it possible that I should look into treatment for
Tachycardia or is this dizzy sensation just part of
the standard symptoms?The only heart disease in my family was my grandfather.
He had two heart attacks. One in his 60s and one in his 70s then he
eventually died of a heart attack that came after having been hospitalized
for a stroke. He was fairly sedentary in his senior years.
Thank you
Tonya Greene
