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

June 21

June 21: Felt great most of the day.

While reading (sitting on the couch), my heart rate ticked up and I had some chest pain. It lasted maybe 5 minutes.  300pm

In the evening, I had a little episode of chest pain. (The pain ended about 1.5 min into the recording)  705pm


June 18, 19, & 20

June 18: Felt fine all day with just a few mild chest pains. As I went to bed, I had a short episode with some pounding and my heart rate increased.  1153pm

June 19 & 20 were also great, with very few mild chest pains.

June 17

Another mostly good day! Just the little chest pains and tightness on and off during the day. I had a few palpitations while swimming laps, but that's it:  412pm

June 16

I went through the early part of the day feeling fine with only the mild chest pains and tightness again. However, in the afternoon I had frequent palpitations for about an hour.

First, my heart rate went up for no reason:  306pm

Later while I was reading, my heart rate went up again, and I had pounding and palpitations:  435pm

Palpitations stopped, but my heart rate stayed around 90 for 5 minutes, then the palpitations started again:  444pm   509pm   

Here, the palpitations had stopped, but my heart rate stayed up (while sitting and reading) for a little longer:  543pm

June 15

I felt pretty good all day today, which was great. I did an easy workout on the elliptical, and I had some mild chest pain and the small tightness feeling several times, but never too intense or too long.

A few palpitations here:  259pm

Tried to capture my "chest pain":  600pm

June 13 & June 14

June 13:  Monday was relatively uneventful. I had palpitations occasionally throughout the day, but no long episodes. Around 5:30pm my heart rate ticked up, I felt sizzly, and had chest pain.   536pm

Also, I awoke at 3am with an increased heart rate, and I got super hot.   335am
(For comparison, here is my resting/sleeping heart rate that I took as I woke up from my alarm:  541am)

June 14: Again, the palpitations came and went throughout the day. I tried to workout this morning, but I had palpitations, chest pain, and was just really tired, so I quit.   1004am

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 12

I felt fine most of the morning with just a few sporadic palpitations. I had a great workout on the elliptical.

Before workout   1122am
Right after workout   1205pm


I started having increased palpitations around 4:30pm.   441pm

Palpitations continued, and I had to lie down for awhile around 6:30pm.  618pm   628pm   733pm
(The Kardia app tagged the recording taken at 6:28pm as possible AF)

Palpitations subsided around 8pm, and I felt a little sizzly later around 10pm.   1023pm

Woke up this morning with shortness of breath (had been dreaming of trying to peddle a school bus uphill!). Continued to have a lot of random palpitations all morning, many accompanied by chest pain, but no long episodes.

809am

Tried to work out on the elliptical but didn't feel well, so I gave it up.   826am

Had some chest pain.   256pm

Heart rate increased for no reason, felt sizzly, and got really hot.  558pm

Palpitations started increasing around 7:30pm and continued until after 8pm.  751pm

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 3 & 4

Had trouble sleeping Thursday night/Friday morning (June 2/3)  1231am
I felt fine all the rest of the day.


On June 4, I had a few palpitations while I was hanging the laundry, but they stopped by the time I got inside and started my Kardia.  1249pm


A little later, I had a few more.   1259pm

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

Seemed like they stopped around 5:15pm, but they are back.  633pm   646pm
