I had a friend with those problem that opted for option 3. It turned out something went wrong during the procedure and extra cells got damaged so now he has to use a pacemaker for the rest of his life. This isn't to say that you and your doctor won't decide in time that it is the best option for you, but understand the risks. He was told the risk of this happening is 1%, but until you experience it its just a number.Originally Posted by equus123

Don't rule out hyperthyroidism. That's what caused mine, but caffine does trigger them. I could be sitting at my desk and all of a sudden my heart rate would jump to over 200 - very scarey! I was on medication for 4 months before my thyroid levels were back into the "normal" range. During that time I was told it was ok to exercise but to keep my heart rate below 160 to avoid stressing my already stressed out system. I've been off my meds for 10 months now - yeah!

Thanks everyone
Sounds like some good ideas. Maybe I will check with the Dr. I have an appt due to a abdominal pain (most likely my right ovary). So I see the Dr after the ultra sound is done, I'll ask about my heart. Ssounds so weird, like I'm old.
But, YES, I DO drink sugar free, red bull daily maybe 2x a day+ coffee 4 times a week and then work out like a mad women 5 times a week. And occasionaly I use nutrasweet or drink a diet pepsi. But Mostly H2O.
And yes I also have low blood pressure, usually not a problem. Only when I was delivering my kids with 2 of them they had to stop the labor because my pressure got way to low and they threatned C section.
Any way thanks alot guys.
