Heart problems?

BTW Pekka, that sounds very close to a panick attack

You might as well have been my cousine describing it to me. (she used to suffer from these from time to time)

Yep, the doctor agreed to see me today. He didn't bother with tests of course.. typical. Anyway it shouldn't be anything serious. I don't know what that tachy-thing means, but he said I have typical problem, that my heart sometimes just starts pounding randomly fast, and that it's not dangerous, and it's mostly like due to stress.
I think I'll demand tests (maybe I need a gun, beucase he wasn't co operating with me really), so I can be sure, and I read from the reliable source of information, the internet, that it can be dangerous when I work out, so we need to test that.. but it's unlikely to be dangerous even then. And that there's medication for it, if it bothers me often... yeah like I'm gonna get medicated even if I want to and bring money to the table.. Hhah!
Sorry I started this thread, it was just that I was worried and didn't know what to do .

bah whats to be sorry about

i also had but once or twice only a incident where my heart would beat VERY STRONG, not exceptionally fast but very very strong.

i did a cardiographima and hyperechographima (heart scans?) to be sure and the doc also said it was nothing and to cut down on coffee and cigarrettes (yeah right )

BTW
tachycardias means - fast heart beat
tachyarythmias means - fast irregular heart beat

and now that i think about it doc strangelove is right (on technicalities)

Telling a Greek to stop drinking coffee and smoking cigarrettes is like telling older Italian woman to stop growing moustaches. Pointless!

Ok.. well it's the fast irregular one.
