May 23 - May 29

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

May 17 - May 22

May22: Worked out and felt fine, but my heart rate did not recover as usual. It stayed close to 100 for over 15 minutes.  115pm   122pm   A little later I had some palpitations.  200pm  223pm

May 21: I felt great all day. However, as I was relaxing on the couch before bed, my heart rate went up into the 90s and stayed there for over an hour.  926pm   933pm  1022pm   After my heart rate came down, I still had some pounding. 1120pm

May 20: Had some trouble sleeping  1219am   Had a good workout on the elliptical and recovered fine. 1049am   1100am   Had some pounding and sizzling while reading 845pm


May 19: Felt fine all day until some pounding and a few palpitations around 8pm. 801pm   Then I tried to do a regular elliptical workout, but I couldn't keep my regular pace and had to stop. I was much more out of breath than usual.  850pm


May 18: Had some brief palpitations while watching tv around 10:30, then some more about an hour later that lasted for 10-20 min. 1037pm    1124pm   1134pm

May 15

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

May 14

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.
