Kickas.org Forums Ankylosing Spondylitis General Discussion #1 AS Web Support Group anyone get heart arrithmyia?

I get arrhythmia they happen anytime sometime heart will rarly race but I'll feel dizzy with feeling blood pool to the head so strange.

I get them on and off, notice certain medication make it worse.

anyone get this?

There was a time when I suffered a lot from such problems. I went to see my G.P. he told me to cut out coffee. To be honest I did not believe him. But for me it worked and I have not had any such problems since then. He said the same applied with Chinese food because of the monosodium glutamate in it.

I do. I get ectopic heartbeats, pounding, racing etc and even fluttering occasionally. They were relentless while I was on my AS medication and is one of the reasons I stopped. My feeling is that they are caused by any food or medication that my body doesn't like, and yeast/mould is one of the biggest culprits for me. I'm now free of them almost all the time, with an occasional night when I lie awake listening to my heart going nuts. Good luck sorting it!

Yes indeed : "Good luck sorting it". Have suffered from arrhythmia for a very long time - and added to which, spiking hypertension (this in spite of anti-hypertensive treatment). All very tedious.
Twice recently on the Holter - the second time, the Holter was stick shift, I got home, and applied good ole physio tape. Can't invent it. Then, report came in @Badly maddeningly useless, kept slipping down my arm. Must have been made for an all-in wrestler with ultra magnificent bipeds - wrapped around my upper arm quadruple times, kept slipping down - the hospital (!) applied sellotape, Scotch to keep the cuff 'up'...HaHa Having then had a nerve wracking drive home, keeping the loop of the badly applied Horton machine from tangling up in the stick shift, I repositioned the whole flippin thing, and affixed physio tape to keep it in place. Report came back as a 'Poor Hortons'. Ho-Hum.
Heart arrhythmia. Yes,continues. Not as bas as was. Now on my 14th anti-hypertensive drug, not that it does much good, but...the arrhythmias are not as bad as, nor are the horrible cardio-vascular spasms as bad as (they were). Basically, have decided to stuff along with it. Take care - go well.

Goodness me, how did I manage so many slip-ups from oddly mixed paragraphs to naming the Holter as a Horton ? <scratches head> Apologies to anyone who tried to untangle the maze. A sad mess !

I had pressure in my heart for years. Then I discovered magnesium and only got symptoms when I forgot to take the supplements (400 mg/day) for a few days. I have been drug free 99% of the time.

Good thinking - I had ignored the magnesium angle. Must get some more in, Mag Threonate is the best, so they say. Thanks Robin.

I get those, sometimes heart just starts hicupping for want of a better way to put it. Usually when lying down but not always. I have to cough hard, jostle around or gently punch my chest and it corrects itself.

Been on the harness of course it's caught nothing. So I give up. Been like this all my life. Honestly docs look unconvinced when I tell them so I just don't anymore.
