Hi there Occasionally my HR increases to 95-100 BPM, which my Kardia app picks up I sit and inhale x 4 sec and exhale x 8 sec which helps to jump start the parasympathetic nervous system, slowing my HR I live in the mountains of NC and find that somedays my shortness of breath is worse, especially if there is a storm coming in. I recently traveled to LI, NY and didn't feel any severe SOB, so perhaps living at a higher altitude in NC is partly responsible. Anyway I wish you luck and encourage you to try the breathing I mentioned when your HR is speeding up, hope it helps. Sounds like your Docs have ruled out A Fib, mine too, but I bought a Kardia Mobile on Amazon as suggested by my cardiologist to keep track of things. All the best, Mary

Subject: OHS back in 3/2024. Seeing symptoms now.
Had OHS in 3/2024 for triple bypass. Things were ok till last month. Last month I woke up with Heart racing to almost 150/Sweating. Cardiologist monitored for 2 weeks using Heart Monitor. Then had a treadmill stress test with Nuclear Dye. Some abnormalities but nothing critical I am told. Still the occassional heart racing, uneasiness in chest area and dizzy/lightheadedness still there. I live in the East Coast of USA, not sure if the cold weather is causing this. Anyone else had similar issues almost 9 months after OHS? I have a discussion scheduled with my Cardio next week but wanted to reach out to my peers here. Thanks.
