Yeah I had working and resting EKGs, ultrasound on my neck because the palps are really loud in my ears, not felt in my chest, and a 24 EKG.
Thing is I was not feeling bad any of the times those tests were being done. I had normal amount of ectopic hearts beats for a woman my age. Ultrasound showed nothing. Not had results of MRI on my neck back yet.
Rheumatology nurse thinks it is the osteo arthritis in my cervical spine putting pressure on carotid artery.
When I feel very bad it shows. My face turns grey, and I feel utterly awful. A kind of "I can't put my finger on it" but I think i am dying awful.
"Are you in pain?" No "Does your chest hurt?" No. "Left arm, jaw pain?" No, And so it goes. My chest sometimes feels full or feels like I am carrying a small child on my shoulders. That is when my GP said acid reflux.
I have discovered that my really bad episodes are food related though. I just cannot have too much salt. I rarely have salt in anything. But restaurant food is packed with it. So when we go for a meal out, I have to keep it very plain. Salad and jacket potato.
Chinese takeaway is my fav. I only eat a third or half the chow mein and rest is plain white rice and extra water.
