Andy P Posted May 20, 2008 Report Share Posted May 20, 2008 I had a heart problem for about 2-3 years before I bothered to mention it to my parents who proptly booked me in to see the GP. Turns out I got SVT.Symptoms were pain in the chest, light headedness, raging pulse (could see my heartbeat through my top/hoodie) which could last anywhere between a few mins to an hour. Usually triggered by a scare (near faceplant, chain skip etc). Could sometimes stop it with a deep sharp intake of breath but I usually had to just laydown til it finished doing its thing.Told its fairly common and that I'm unlikely to die from it lol.They said if it happens again try and get in ASAP so they can get me on a heart monitor so they can record it. Its happened a handful of times since then and I've not bothered.Not really related but thought it was worth a mention.Andy P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just in case..Just get kinda light headed/ can't see for a few seconds when i get up every now and again, sometimes when i breathe, i can't breathe in fully as it hurts like a bitch, so have to breathe in gently and slowly for one breath, sorts that out, and my heartbeat is quite often seen through my shirt not fast or owt, just can see it Cheers for that,Matt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomm Posted May 20, 2008 Report Share Posted May 20, 2008 Just get kinda light headed/ can't see for a few seconds when i get up every now and againI'm pretty sure everyone gets that - I know I do. Also if you're skinny it's not uncommon to be able to see your heartbeat. The breathing pain thing I don't know about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
