Michigan girl I just wanted to tell you that I hope this is something that is easily treated. I don't know what causes a rapid heart beat, but you were smart getting in a checking it out. I would guess that since they are not rushing to get you to the cardiologist that it must not be something life threatening. Good luck.

I've had every symptom you've had, except for chest pains.

They only thing they found wrong with me was a low thyroid. Not sure if that's the cause or not.

Odd isn't it?? I've always figured it was some imbalance of some chemicals or hormones or something. Sometimes I wonder if I just need to rest more. Who knows. I'm with you!

Also, try magnesium supplements, as well as a good B-complex supplement.

I have the EXACT symptoms that you do, minus the chest pains. But I am also having whopper dizzy spells that leave my absolutely no time advance time to do anything about them. I also went to the cardiologist and the internist. My anemia level was low and my thyroid was low. I was put on iron pills, an antibiodic (for possible ear infection), thyroid medicine and a nose spray (to see if it is sinuses). I am tired of not feeling well.

My dr. actually thinks that I have some valve syndrome...but he wants me to wear a monitor for amonth. I am still thinking about that. He says if it shows up that I have it, I would be put on a low dose of beta blocker that would help me.

Good luck!

Really sounds like its stress and anxiety.
