Palpitations

I felt it again today.... palpitations... for a brief moment while having dinner with my colleague Su. Asked her to feel my pulse... she said the volume was erratic but not tachycardic.... hmmmm.... Been having this bouts of 'palpitations' past one month.

Woke up several nights with intense awareness of my heart beats... I have no other symptoms and my heart rate then usually ranges from 80+ to 100 beats...Normally my heart rate is about 60-70bpm.

Take to my physician friend Joe, advised me to do an ECG and if all normal a Halter monitoring for 24hours. Ho also suggested few probable cause of it... some heart pathology (which may be benign or pathological),too much caffein (not a coffee nor Coke drinker)...thyroid problems (no other symptoms and my T3/T4 is normal)...or lastly too horny... I prefer the latter...hehehehe... but too bad no guys in speedo (nor in my bed) that was there to explain the symptoms.

Thinking of the ECG, perhaps tomorrow. I am a bit reluctant to do as I don't really want to know if there is anything wrong... Yeah, I am a doctor but aren't doctors the lousiest patients?

The world is spinning

Been under the weather lately. Nothing serious, but been having bouts of occasional dizziness and palpitation. Felt lightheaded again tonight while driving to the hospital to do rounds, decided not to take the stairs but the lift this time.

BP was 110/62 pulse 67. Hmmm..seems ok. Decided to take a full blood investigation FBC, FBS, FLP, serum uric acid, renal profile.... will know results tomorrow.

Hope I am ok for the weekend. Maybe it's diving that I need!
