Citrus,
Have you discussed this with your LLMD ?
Lyme can often cause heart palps, etc., as can babesia or herxing. It's good news the tests didn't show any problems. Many patients experience this but you need to discuss this with your doc as he may be able to prescribe some meds to calm the situation.

Have you had a stress test, echo cardiogram, EKG, or a Tilt Table Test? You could have Lyme induced NMH (Neurally Mediated Hypotension) Its done by a cardiologist. You may need to do the tilt table test and you might need beta blockers to regulate the heart rate. I would get a full workup, to rule out other conditions. I have NMH, and treatment for the tachycardia made a HUGE difference.

I've had same situation since taking abx with this. Never had these situations before...
I could at least take care of myself before, even though I couldn't work(for 4 months now).
Now after a month and half of abx, I can't even walk around or take care of myself.
I'm going to start going to all the docs... allergy, cardio, ... Let me know if you find what causes this, and I will do the same(it appears to be NMH or POTS by the others on here, and a cardio doc is needed).

Have you been treated for Babesia? this can definately cause these symptoms (but so can other things.)
Are your blood counts okay - not anemic?
Have you had an echocardiogram (not ECG) - this should be done too. I think they can run a probe to check the pressure in the lungs - you would need this also. It is a non invasive test and nothing to be fearful of.
You need to check it out by a process of elimination.
are you on abx? From another one of your posts, I don't think you are.
If not, you need to do some kind of treatment...at least try no rift rife or look up one of Bob davis' posts on how to put together an inexpensive rife machine using a degaussing coil.
I bought a heavy duty degaussing coil on Ebay for $45 and you can get the noriftrife software for about $40. Then you just need an amplifier and some cables. That's about as inexpensive as you can get for something that will service you for a long time.
Have you tried the salt/c protocol? I've heard it works well for some people and is relatively inexpensive.
You must try anything to kill the Borrelia.
I had cardiac involvement as well, and it's frightening. But it's gone now, after extended abx treatment. If you can't afford abx, you MUST try some of the less expensive alternatives. You won't get better without killing Bb.
Hang in there and good luck.

If you're on IV get checked for YEAST ASAP!!
If not on IV but on antibiotics, still get checked for yeast!
I hope you're on antibiotics...
beta blockers help a lot but a side effect is they make you loopy. Still worth it if it's scarey...
