The sypmtoms that I was experiancing pre-PM are starting to come back. The headaches, dizziness, fatigue - I was completely losing conciousness before the PM, but today I blacked out which has never happened before. I have also been feeling my heart beat very strong, and it feels like it is just sort of flopping around in my chest. Could it have something to do the the PM? I was having really bad chest pains over the weekend, then that finally stopped and now this. I feel horrible again, I am really starting to panic. Any insight is greatly appreciated.

Hi! I know this isn't what you want to hear, but it sounds like a visit to the Doc is in order. In fact, if your symptoms persist and certainly if they worsen, a trip to the ER might be a wise thing to make. I'm not a doctor and am fairly new to all of this myself, but the symptoms you describe would certainly worry me too! I think they certainly could be due to a problem with the PM or its leads. I know your EP is a long drive away but better get this checked. Others on this site with more experience will offer even wiser counsel I'm sure. Best wishes, Carol

I live with my very loving husband of 5 years who is incredibly supportive. We will be calling my EP again first thing in the morning to see what she has to say. In the mean time, I am taking it easy hoping that I won't need to take another trip to the hospital. Thanks for your concern!

I know how you feel! Everytime I feel something that I think is not normal, I tell my husband and he immediately thinks I should go to the hospital! It is so frustrating when you have symptoms that only last a little while, because by the time you do get treatment, it seems as though everything is fine. Thanks for sharing!
