pounding heartbeat/dizziness esspecially after eating and while sleeping

i have is really bad to the point where everytime i eat i get it no matter what i eat. i have it right now also.

I get dizzy spells too. I am a swimmer and thought it was ear related. Turned out to be my neck. I would highly recommend seeing a chiropractor/kinseologist, if you have not already. It helped me a lot!

You know, I saw a kiniseologist last summer which didn't really work and I saw a chiropractor last October for a month.

Unfortunately, during one of the sessions, he managed to trap my sciatic nerve and when he couldn't help untrap it, he felt that it would be best to stop the sessions!

I had to live with the pain for 10 months, despite various therapies! On the advice of another doctor, I started swimming and am now healed! 

Thanks for the advice anyway.

I have been told my dizziness is as a result of a meningitis infection almost 20yrs ago. I have resultant damage in my nerves and back of my eyes and have to do eye exercises to resolve it, albeit slowly.

Hang in there kiddo.  Just knowing that we are not alone is a big help!

Yeah I know. When it first started, I thought I was the only one in the whole world and because no one could explain it, I was convinced I was going mad!

I just hope someone finds a cure somedat very very soon!

Patricia,

Please let me know if you've found any answers. I have the exact same symptoms and I to feel like a horrible wife and mother as I don't have the energy to do much of anything. I see a cardiologist next week, and an x ray is scheduled to see if the lack of oxygen from my asthma is affecting my heart. I've become more and more fearful from the heart palpitations and pain on the left side of my body. I would do just about anything to have my life back and to feel normal again. Please contact me and let me know how you're doing. - msrrhawk@yahoo.com

Dear msrrhawk@yahoo.com

I am sorry to hear about your trouble.  It is terrible to have to live this way.  I was with the GI doctor and had an upper endoscopy which has shown nothing.  He would like me to go for a cat scan but at this point I am soooo sick of doctors.  I broke both bones in my leg 3 months ago.  Just started back to work this week.  I will tell you over the past couple of months the pain in my chest has lessened and the palpitations are not quite so bad.  I wonder if part of the problem is stress considering I was out of work for 3 months and basically lay around doing nothing .... all I know is that I want to feel better!  PLEASE keep me updated on your visit with the cardiologist.  I wish you the best of luck and hang in there maybe we can figure this out together!

Hello!

So glad you are all finding each other and sharing your story. My daughter had dizziness, migraines and reflux. It took years of treatment and going to the doctor to get a diagnosis for Postural Orthostatis Tachycardia Syndrome or POTS. Here is a link to a SharePost that I wrote about it:

I am from Sri Lanka, where spicy foods make up the most of your life. I have similar symptoms and have now started a radikal combination of ayurveda and western cure style a la me, and it is as following. I bought Ginseng capsules(please see if calcium is mpresent, if dont use), then I skipped drinking tea and coffee with milk and at all. Now I drink herbal teas like ayurveda proven for. e.g. I will give you the latin names (but please see their contens e.g viamins what minerals what and their compositions. By acid reflux, the mineral balance which is necessary for the central nervous system and as well as the electrolytical sys.(pulse the heart and lungs, stomach etc..) aRE BROUGHT TO A CHAOS RESULTING IN AN IMBALANCE. cHECK YOUR BLOOD AND URINE AND IF POSSIBLE DO AN ENDOSCOPY. tURN TO FIBRE DIETS WITHOUT CALCIUM(IF IN VERY MINUTE PROPORTIONS)Do not drink milk.(it gives you only temporary relief.)Margarine shud do. avoid sugars of all sorts. avoid seated in one place. move but do not over exert. try to concentrate on for e.g writing or reading(I know its rather said than done, cos its almost impossible) or just arranging rearranging your clothes . furniture etc.. And last and least of all a good sleep. the natural choice would be chamomile tea. Try your luck with chinese green tea, it helps look into an asian shop for heerbal teas without caffeine important., For gods sake dont eat tomato rich food like pizzas, or spicy tortillas(avoid them). And avoid arguments. talk less. talk to yourself saying this is a matter which i have total control, i m gonna take a radical approach, I will change my lifewstyle if i have to sacrifice my favourite dishes.

Here a diet recipe so u ud start with.

Chamomile tea at breakfast.(no sugar)

2-3 slices of brown or bran bread or crackers with margarine spread(check for calcium-if its there dont use)

salad leaves.

1 -2 glasses of grapefruit juice.

lunch.

Vegetable broccoli, cabbage(not carrot causes constipation) turnips(see if they have calcium?? and lots of salmon cooked without oil.(if olive oil)

bran mixed noodles or brown rice(natural unpolished rice.

etc..

dinner

early at 7.00pm at least.

fruits of all sorts except pineapples, lime, and other sour fruits. Bananas good ripe ones. strawberries watch if they are ripe or not. on and off olive fruit(not the nut)

or dries fruits and nuts.

nuts, use walnut, chestnut

practically almost all nut except those nuts which contain calcium. avoid also the ideal mineral balance should be

Magnesium

Sodium

Potassium

Alumin.

zinc

phosphates??(be careful for they deposit)

selenites

Nitrates are needed but be careful they tend to turn acidic in combination with some other elements.

these minerals and others which I dont know(ask your doctor) trigger agood functioning heart and lungs. Liver too should be looked after. Omega 3 fatty acids in form of capsules and salmon are good.

Ok

try chnging patterns with these compositions. It may become monotone, but the only way to cure permanently is a radical change
