June 22-25
I felt great for 3 days! Not a single palpitation or other sypmtom. Yay!!
June 25: I had a few random palpitations (felt like PACs), and this afternoon my heart rate went up a bit right before Mass started. 417pm
I felt pretty dizzy during the 2nd reading and got really hot, but I felt alright afterwards until later in the evening. First I had some random palpitations and the sizzly feeling (that I haven't had for a while), then some PACs started up. 732pm
They stopped after about 20 minutes, then some more palpitations started. I also had some chest pain. 810pm
Heart pounding and heart rate up and down continued off and on. 951pm

Just before 7pm I had chest pain and a mild tightness that came and went for about an hour. 656pm
(This is a sharp pain just above my left breast and slightly to the center of my chest. I started having this pain occasionally at the end of April. It is becoming more frequent.)

June 6 - Palpitations
This morning around 11:30am I noticed some palpitations as I was doing stuff around the house. These were not the same as those of June 2 and June 5 (which were like the ones I had in December). These were pounding and a little floppy feeling, but not terrible where I felt like I was going to pass out. 1137am 1148am
I went out to run some errands, and the palpitations continued. They definitely seemed to worsen if I was standing or walking, and my chest felt a little tight. 1216pm
This one was tagged as "unclassified" by the Kardia. 1232pm
After walking to my car. 1235pm
And while I was at Rite Aid. 108pm
They subsided after I got home, and I have felt fine since.

June 5 - Palpitations
I had been doing some normal stuff/chores around the house (nothing strenuous) when I started having some intense palpitations. I had to sit down to rest. They lasted for a total of about 5 minutes. 541pm
After that, I just felt a couple per minute for awhile, until I had another episode that lasted 5-6 minutes. Kardia tagged this one as "unclassified." 607pm
Sitting around, updating this blog, with a pounding heart and the ol' sizzly feeling. A few palpitations occasionally, but nothing consistent enough to catch on the Kardia. 642pm

June 2 - Palpitations
June 2: A little before 2pm, I started having palpitations that felt like the ones I had in December. Not the flopping like a fish palpitations, but ones that just feel irregular and make me cough. 2:00pm
However, they were continuous and after about 20 minutes I started feeling tired. (Kardia tagged this recording as "unclassified.") 2:19pm
They became less frequent after 2:30pm, but my heart rate stayed up in the 80s. 238pm
Still having palpitations, waxing and waning frequency -- more frequent towards the end of this recording. 249pm
Still going... 331pm 413pm

May 29: Woke up feeling fine. 9:58am Felt like I had some palpitation later in the day. 3:18pm
May 28: I have been feeling very good overall with just a little bit of sizzly (or jittery) feeling a few times a day. However, this evening I was uncomfortable. First, I felt some pounding while I was busy at church this evening (though fine when I sang at a wedding early in the afternoon).
Then, while watching a movie around 8:30pm, I noticed some pounding and over the next hour felt my heart rate increasing a little then returning to a more normal rate, fluctuating from 70 bpm to mid 80s. 918pm From about 9:30-10:30, my heart rate stayed 80-90 bpm. 942pm 1006pm 1026pm
By midnight, my heart rate was back to about 70 bpm but still jittery. 1152pm I finally fell asleep around 1am.
May 24: Woke up in the middle of the night feeling sizzly and very stressed out. The same kind of desperate, on edge feeling like I had back on May 14. It lasted for over half an hour and I could not go back to sleep, so I took .25mg Xanax (leftover from a prescription from 3 or 4 years ago). I fell asleep about half an hour later. 242am I felt great all the rest of the day (May 25).
May 23: Had a good workout and felt fine. 931am Felt a little sizzly in the afternoon, but was otherwise fine. 425pm

I woke up feeling fine and later in the morning did a quick 20 min on the elliptical.
At 3 we went to a wedding. I felt a few sizzly episodes during the late afternoon, but I couldn't easily take recordings during the wedding and reception. However, I felt pretty good overall.
I was able to get a couple of recordings at home. I was having the sizzly feeling along with some pounding. And a weird new thing is that I felt like the pounding was in my throat as well. 823pm 847pm
I had trouble falling asleep and staying asleep Sunday night. 1209am 1215am 345am

Woke up feeling great and worked in the yard until about 1pm. I also did a quick 20 min on the elliptical.
Shortly before I left for church, I started feeling some palpitations but was otherwise feeling fine. The palpitations persisted mildly, off and on, during the first half of Mass but then stopped around 5pm. 304pm 308pm
I had dinner and a beer at 6:30pm. Later I was watching tv with the fam and started feeling a kind of sizzly, percolating sensation which wasn't a big deal, but it was accompanied by a huge stressed out feeling. I have felt stressed before along with palpitations, but not like this. It lasted for about an hour then waned after I took my propafenone at 10pm. I slept fine.

I felt pretty good during the early part of the day with no heart pounding, increased heart rate, or palpitations.

After dinner (approx. 6:50pm), I was sitting on the couch reading and noticed my heart pounding and rate increasing. I sat around for awhile, got up for some water, etc. Heart rate stayed up until about 7:40pm.

Yesterday, May 6, I had a great workout and felt great until after I'd showered, etc. Then the pounding heart and palpitations were back a few times during the afternoon. 1256pm
While out to dinner with friends, my heart rate went up (approx. 100 bpm) and had palpitations. I was in the middle of a meal of fish and cole slaw and was about halfway through my one beer. 735pm The episode lasted about half an hour.
I felt pretty good on May 4, but I had a sizzling, kind of edgy, feeling as I was going to sleep that night. 1131pm
