My heart feels like it's pounding away in my chest. The rhythm is normal and the rate is the same as it's always been. Also, except for 2 very short (like 5 minutes) episodes back when it first started up I don't have any pain.
What is it? Babs?
I went off abx for a month and about 3 1/2 weeks in it started up. I'm back on now for a week, but it's still buggin me.
I have this all the time in addition to tachycardia. The pounding keeps me awake at night.
I have no idea of it is Bart, Babs, or Lyme and I would love to know about this too.

I have this quite a lot too. It's something I need to ask my LLMD about this week.

Try adding in some more magnesium and see if that helps.
Please call your LLMD and let them know.

Hi Tri,
One of my family members has episodes of a pounding heart. You can actually see his heart beating through his shirt. This was blown off by the cardiologist, but our LLMD said it's a symptom of Lyme. He didn't specifically mention any coinfection, nor specifically say it's only due to Lyme. My family member also has Raynaud's syndrome and has periodic episodes of stabbing chest pain.
The pounding heart and the stabbing pains have subsided with treatment.
