I get this too. I have bad stomach issues. I read something about esophageal reflex. An idea if the Lyme is in the gut. I don't know if mine is from the gut or just plain ole Lyme symptom.

Lymetoo,
Biaxin generally has been ok for me.
The reason I'm leaning towards adrenals is that yesterday I was feeling really good so, of course, I went out and overdid it (played intense pingpong for about an hour lol)
Generally speaking if I do strenuous exercise I can't sleep that night and then I wake up with heart palps. I always blamed it on Bart/Lyme... but it may just be high cortisol and low sodium.

Yes, I get this too. Usually happens somewhere between 3:30 a.m. and 6:00 a.m., although sometimes it's earlier.
Sometimes I know it's hypoglycemia just from how it feels. Other times, however, I'm not sure what causes it. In the non-hypoglycemic episodes, I seem to have a lot of trapped gas and I think that may trigger it.

I got this as well when I started a similar protocol, although we only have plaquenil in common. The first two mornings with the new protocol I woke up with a heart rate of 130....quiet though, not strong.
I guess mine would be considered more tachycardia rather than palps, which I consider strong heartbeats.
I take a beta blocker when it happens and it alleviates the symptoms quickly.
I attribute this to either a cortisol issue or a herx, as my heart rate tends to elevate when I herx.

This can also happen after a shower as well. I don't understand why. I really have to make sure the water temp is more on the tepid side.

I don't do abx like you do. But have them and I think mine r from Bart. My Doc just put me on Hawthorn the other day and it really helped to stop them. Lots of info on Hawthorn on line and Buhner had it in his Bart protocol.

lymego makes a good point. gas can push on vagal nerve. any irritation on the nerve can cause palpitations.

I had these too. Annoying and downright scarey! My heart would beat normally for 1-2 beats, then skip 1,2 or 3 beats, and then repeat that pattern for a few hours.
Not sure if it was due to adrenals, Bart or Babs, or a combination of all three. Benedryl helped. And so did bentyl (thinking that the PVC's may be a vaso-vagal response??).
I had to stop drinking coffee, and now that I'm treating Babs, they are much less. I now only have them briefly 2-3 times a day. Even had a couple days that I didn't recall any!
Praying they will go bye-bye all together with Babs tx!

Many patients with mitral valve prolapse do not have symptoms. The group of symptoms found in patients with mitral valve prolapse is called "mitral valve prolapse syndrome" and includes:
Chest pain (not caused by coronary artery disease or a heart attack)
Dizziness
Fatigue
Panic attacks
Sensation of feeling the heart beat (palpitations)
Shortness of breath with activity or when lying flat (orthopnea)
When mitral regurgitation occurs, symptoms may be related to this leaking.

I'm sure this could be caused by some pathogen. Alot of the infections we deal with can cause heart problems at some point.
Hawthorne seems like a good option. I haven't tried it but I've been hearing about it lately.
