every so often I would suddenly feel short of breath, heartburn/butterfly feeling in my stomach, a blood rush to my head, high pulse rate, tiredness, etc.

I had a stress test and echo that were OK, so I don't know what to think.

Anyone have similar experience or suggestions? Haven't been on any meds for 4 weeks, enzymes down to 200 and still dropping. Could the liver be causing this?

Thanks,

Since you're here on LymeNet, I'm assuming the antibiotics you took were for Lyme disease.
Were you seeing a Lyme Literate Med Dr (LLMD)?
What was your treatment?
(abx, dose)
Were you checked for co-infections - like Babesiosis, Ehrlichiosis, Bartonella?

I think it's more likely the problems are from the disease rather than caused by 4 weeks of antibiotics (abx).

If you were diagnosed with Lyme but did not treat long enough, the heart problems could be from Lyme. Lyme can also cause elevated liver enzymes.

Another possibility is co-infections. They require different meds so you have to know which disease you're targeting to know which meds you need to take.

Most of the Tick-Borne Diseases (TBDs) can cause the problems you're having.
Ex: Bartonella can affect the heart & liver.
Read "Bartonella Alert" at http://flash.lymenet.org/ubb/Forum1/HTML/008362.html

"Co-Infections" gives a short description of several co-infections. http://flash.lymenet.org/ubb/Forum1/HTML/021366.html

More links on co-infections can probably be found in the "Newbie Help Links" at: http://flash.lymenet.org/ubb/Forum1/HTML/029917.html

Another excellent source of info on LD & co-infections is "Diag Hints & Treatment Guidelines..." at: www.ilads.org/burrascano_1102.html
Print a copy, read it a couple times, highlight important facts, write in the margins, etc.

It's just my opinion, but I'd recommend you check back with your dr.
Or, possibly you need to see a LLMD who will be more experienced in treating TBDs.
It's always best to err on the side of caution.

More responses should be posted as people see your question.

I was on abx for 6 mo. but when I rotated last month to new ones (ketek, etc) I had a bad drug reaction followed by this heart thing (which I didn't have before the drug reaction). That's why I feel it is not lyme caused but drug caused. I stopped all abx and supplements 4 weeks ago when I had the reaction and this heart thing is not going away yet :-(

It seems to happen more frequently after a meal.

Thanks,
