Just asking for prayers, my extremely high heart rates and PVCs accompanied by sweating and severe shortness of breath are by far my scariest symptoms. Last month I passed out and hit my head while in the nursery with my 17 mth old. Please say a prayer this goes away. Thank you in advance

I'm praying! My son just had one heart palpitation (it was back in January) and it scared the heck out of me. I can't imagine what you're enduring. So very sorry, sincerely, and I am praying for sure!

I know how scary it is. I'm praying for you!

My 11 yr old and my 15 yr old also have cardiac manifestations. I've had a cardiac work up and they've caught heart rates up near 200 and seen my PVCs but there's no structural abnormality. My lyme uneducated cardio said I may have SA node dysfunction and prescribed a beta blocker but my BP is already super low. Thank you, I and I will pray for your little guy.

Hi Maine, I can feel your pain since I too used to have so many cardiac issues in the beginning. Please look at the link below from the American Heart Association and see if it may apply to you.

Hoping that you feel better soon.

Please be careful with beta blockers. I was on them for 6 months and getting off of them is one of the hardest things that I have had to do in my life. It is as bad as getting off of Benzos and SSRIs.

I'm not taking the beta blocker, I never started it and I didn't go to me follow up with my cardiologist bc really what can he do for me? I just have had to call 911 a few times since sept, when the real crazy cardiac stuff started. I collapsed shopping with my daughter. I just had the paramedics get my heart rate down, they did take me to the critical care ED and I was observed had cardiac enzymes checked and was then discharged. They don't knew why I have runs of SVT, obviously it's the lyme... But these yahoos won't acknowledge that. My cardio said it can only cause heart blocks, which we all know is load of crud.

Oh Maine, that's awful. Thinking of you and sending lots of healing thoughts your way!

Thank you, I despise this symptom. It makes things so hard, not that other symptoms aren't horrible but this one is particularly frightening and physically disabling too.

Hi Maine, I am going through this at the moment as well. When I start to get frightened, my husband always asks me, "Do you want to go to the hospital?" Which always makes me laugh because he is using it a good-natured threat. I went to the ER three other times with this and they really couldn't help and just subjected me to a raft of invasive tests that just made me feel worse, so he's just reminding me of that!

Hope you feel better soon, and me too!

My heart goes out to all of you with heart issues!! I only had the minor heart issues, but that was enough for me!

Many prayers for all of you!!
