Adrenalin rushes.

[Brandi]

Does anyone else have this problem and do you do anything for it. I have had heart palps for a long time now. They come and go. Have been checked out for them several times. Take a beta blocker (kinda helps, does keep bp down though) but this past year I have this bad habit of waking up in the morning and having these adrenalin rush's. Drives me nuts! I try and meditate and think of calming things but it always get's me out of bed and running to the bathroom (sorry if that is tmi). I will admit during my busy work season this happens more often and I am 3 days away to starting my last job of the year. But this morning thing is annoying. I am fine once I get up. Am I alone? Does anyone else have this issue?
I thought about switching the time i take my med to at night to see if that would help. It seems the Dr never has a good solution.

Have you ever had your thyroid checked? This is one of the indications that it is time for me to go see the Endocrinologist to tweak my meds.

That is interesting. I am due for a blood test. And thyroid problems affect my mom. She is the only one in the family who has issue's but maybe?

So you have this issue as well? Or have had I should say?

I'd second running a thyroid function test. I'm pretty surprised/shocked your doc hasn't already run one as heart palls is a pretty common symptom of a hyperactive thyroid. I certainly had them before getting my own thyroid under control.

I will look into this and I have had blood test and such through the years. I have another I have to do. I was waiting till I was off the road traveling though. Now would I not gain/loose weight though? My weight is very steady. it might drop or go up a pound or 2 but that is it.

You're not the only one...I sometimes wake up with an adrenaline dump too! It is kind of annoying when it happens but doesn't take too long to dissipate...I just deal with it.

I didn't lose more than a couple of pounds. My case is pretty mild and I my appetite was rather big. The point is that I would expect a doc to run what is a pretty standard test when someone presents with heart palps, just to rule it out.
