I am wondering if anyone has experience a symptom which I have that is scary. It usually starts with a flash of pain across my chest and then I start shaking- like I am freezing for about an hour.

Last night it started with me not being able to take a breath-just one breath and then the shaking started.

It seems like this symptom started when I started taking antibiotics for Lyme.

It always helps me to know that someone else if going through this. I hate it..especially last night when I could not take a breath.

I was in the ER with A.Fib. last week and my lyme dr. thought it was due to a herx. I had an echo done of my heart and things look good.

I think you need to call your cardiologist again. Is the A-fib under control?

Could be adrenals or thyroid also.

Also make sure you are taking plenty of magnesium.

I ordered the Remag that you suggested. I am taking 2 caps a day of it. Morning and night.

The shaking part of the whole thing does not feel cardiac....It has been happening to me for 2 years since I started Lyme treatment.

What else would they check in the heart if the tests came back fine? When I talk to the cardiologist, I would like to have some suggestions of what to test for.

Thanks much.

Yes, the A.Fib is under control. I have not had any symptoms of that since the day that I had it and they got it under control.
