Re: Palpitations, chest pain stop breathing while going to sleepFrom: Joyce (anonymous@obgyn.net)Sun, 18 May 2003 14:50:44 -0500 (CDT)
I have the same symptoms as times, the drs tell me[after ALL cardio tests, etc.,...] that it is part hormone changes, part reflux! I don't quite understand it, but I notice when I eat SMALL meals and drink plenty of hot water[sipping it while sitting in bed at night, and waiting for the 'burp' after], I do sleep! And the palps disappear. I wore the event monitor and the holter monitor for a while. They found nothing. But it did give me piece of mind! I believe it is directly related to what I eat, how much, and when. I never eat at night within 2 hours of laying down, and I prop myself up to sleep. I lie on my right side. The dr said this will help gravity pull the food/acid from the stomach into the system. So I tried and it does help. It also helps to burp this way. Lie on your right side, Wait about ten minutes, sit up without going backwards onto your back while getting up. You WILL burp. Then the palps go away. The ER nurse said she had many people with the same symptoms coming into the ER[like I did],with it merely being gas. For some reason, the gas gets into the esophagus behind the heart wall and mimicks these palps. I hope this helps. I know what you are going throiugh is miserable and I feel for you. Don't give up hope. No acidic foods was the best thing I ever did. Please hang in there. Joyce joyneau@hotmail.com
