Had trouble controlling my hr during a short run on Saturday. Had some light chest pain the rest of the day. Attributed it to some heart burn leftovers from earlier in the week.
Short run again on Sunday morning. Had to walk downhill to stay in low zone. I'm usually running fast on these downhill sections.
Went on to church and felt winded walking from the parking lot. Started talking to a friend about his heart attack a few years ago. Decided I need to get checked.
Spent the night in heart and lung center. Nothing detected... Stress test, echo cardiogram, EKG, CAT scan. All blood work perfect.
Decided to send me home around 5pm on Monday. As I was waiting for discharge papers, my hr spiked as I bent down to pickup something and stood up. Nurse came running into the room... Freaked out. Apparently hr spikes are a bad thing.
So now I'm wearing a continuous hr monitor for the next month. I'm supposed to keep doing normal daily activities. It's alerted twice since I left the hospital. Both times were after I'd been sitting for a while. Hopefully, we'll have a solid answer in January. Preliminary diagnosis is PSVT. Usually solved with a pill - calcium blocker or beta blocker.
If I didn't use a hr monitor, I'd never know I had a problem until it was a big problem.
