I get tachycardia and adrenaline rushes along with alot of other symptoms. It seems this always happens at night. I also get "hear flops". I have dysautonomia as well and was wondering if this gets better with the lyme treatment.

If you do a search on here, you will see a lot of people have this problem.
I use to get that a lot at night. Even went to the cardiologist, they put me on a holter monitor (laughed at me because I was too young to have heart troubles-this was years ago), they even did echogram and never found anything.
Now I know it was the lyme.
The abx seem to do that to me now.

I've had problems like that for years. I would get a huge jolt of adrenaline and then paroxysmal palpitations, which unfortunately caused a couple of fainting episodes. I had all the tests (also told I was "too young" to have these problems). Nevertheless they found mitral valve prolapse, and tachycardia, so I have been on beta blockers for years. LLMD thinks that it's all due to lyme infection, and once I clear some 'chetes I can ditch the beta blockers. If it is bothersome, you might want to talk with your doc about beta blockers or another rhythm drug.
