Hi,
I'm new here:) Since I was 19 yrs old, I am 34 now. I have felt my heart beat very fast at times. I saw a doctor at Stanford. There is a cure but I decided to take Meds. I take Metoprorol 50mg. I have been feeling good but now I feel my heart skipping beats more often:( After I eat something. I really need to watch the salt intake. Does anybody feel this way?

Hi,
Yes, I absolutely understand what you are saying. Food is for me, and has always been a huge factor in triggering ectopics. I have no heart disease, but have had arrythmia for 14 years now. What I eat, when I eat, how hot the food is, so many issues. I eat little and often; I avoid fish like salmon and too much meat, hot soup is a trigger, sugar, icecream ( sugary), all but the blandest drinks, absolutely no caffeine or alcohol. They say you wont live longer, but god it feels like it !!!!! Nothing after 7pm. And I can honestly say I can manage reasonably well. I take sotalol, 2 years now, and it works for me. I started a diary for a few weeks and charted my fluid'food intake and the results enabled me to decide on a routine. Only you will know what is appropriate for you.
Very best wishes and good luck.

We may very well be twins! With the things you just described as your "triggers." I have to pace myself with any food. I steer from sugar and caffeine like the plague. IF I over eat, I will be having PVC's like crazy for hrs. . It makes me have to just lay down, and elevate my feet. I know, probably doesn't help some, but I do feel it does a tad.
