You were holding a fart in HAHAHAHA, JK ;)

Several types of cardiovascular disease are caused by genetic disease. E.g. see

sinus tach with a PAC

[1991Lizzie1991]

i have something called sinus arrythmia but ive had arrythmia in the past

[mvet121]

Im in the same boat and it sucks! I just take coreg for the symptoms if it helps when it wants to.

[uasil61]

hi I'm from brazil and my heart is just like yours always beating strong, i feel like it's touching my ribs so strange and i don't like the sensation . is that dangerous? i did tests and they say nothing my heart did 1578 extrasystoles in 24 hours. there's some medical help in that case? thanks...

[pgtv69]

I have the same problem :( they i cant get doctors to believe me cause they never seem to catch it when its happening.

[shyheart306]

@pgtv69 same here

[bloodonthesidewalk]

I used to have an arrhythmia when I was little, my heart beat would be soo fast, I had it for many years, and I finally got surgery for it, doesn't feel great I can tell you that.

[blite13]

Chemtrails cause this...more and more people are getting this condition. You need to get on Beta Blocker.

[bionerd23]

@blite13

hooray for flecainide! ..and for paranoia. that arrhythmia is harmless. ;)

[bionerd23]

yeah, i suppose that'd be called sinustachycardia in my case, too.

[Mr976493]

Don't take any of this offensivly,but maybe you should eat some fish, it's known to make the heart less irratable also try exercising esp. aerobic. Being better conditioned will help your body and heart deal with stress better. I know from experiance. As a teenager, I use to have high blood pressure and fast resting pulse, now at age 30 my blood pressure is normal and heart rate slow. Don't have to be a runner to reap the benifits.

[bionerd23]

i do eat quite a lot of fish. :)

about once to twice a week, actually.

exercise, well, that's not for me... i've got a pretty small flat and the neighbors would probably murder me if i jumped around making a noise while doing aerobics in here, lol. going to a gym or out to do sports is not an option for me, either, as i'd probably be so pissed off about the situation, i'd eventually die due to a ruptured blood vessel -> extremely high blood pressure. ;)

but thanks for the input nevertheless.

[Mr976493]

LOL, no problem.

[TheTxturtlelytiger]

@Mr976493 : having a PVC doesnt mean you need to eat more fish per say its just preffered or you can take heart healthy supplement like fish oil ( aka Omega 3's). :)

[coolmendotdot2]

boring... and the sounds is getting me on the nerves!

[ArkDuckSlayer]

Can a person tell if he has arrhythmia,like can you fell it?

[bionerd23]

depends; some people can feel it very well, while others dont even notice it. it usually feels like your heart "skips a beat" - that's how laypersons typically describe extrasystoles.

[shyheart306]

@bionerd23 sounds right to me...i have the same

[dondude69]

@ArkDuckSlayer YES! And its always freaking me out!!!!!

[Misz666Gwen]

I placed a reaction earlier and.. well.. my heart rate is a little fast.. when I walk just walk.. my heart rate is 150. do you know what I shoud do?

[bionerd23]

see a doctor / cardiologist; nobody on the internet can remotely tell you what the reason for your issue can be, without having examined your heart.

[iluvyouwyatt]

I have an arrhythmia as well, it scares the crap outta me sometimes but at least I know that my heart is healthy. Thanks for the videos :).

[schwanzenegger]

why is you pulse at this high level? Mine is at about 35-50.

[bionerd23]

nobody knows. probably stress related, same as the arrhythmia and hypertension. i've had that for many years.

[skittleizahustler]

i used to get these very often, like 3-4 times every 5 mins, im just wondering how you know what kinda of arrhythmia you have, like if its fatal or not

[bionerd23]

i know that because i've been seen by a doctor; i had blood tests, a cardiac catheter, a cardiac mri, a stress echo, everything - and my heart is fine. i just have arrhythmia.

[shyheart306]

@bionerd23 at least i know i'm not the only one like htis

[blite13]

@skittleizahustler it can be fatal, if you have it, you might want to tell your doc and maybe get medication.

[MrWonka12]

this is some times normal

[bionerd23]

sure. :)

i still have arrhythmia, but i'm fine with it.

[PandaLicious84]

@bionerd23

i just got diagnosed on the 5th with this...

I'm only 25.:(

[bionerd23]

yeah - i'm 26 now, but i have that arrhythmia a lot since i am 23, basically.

did you get checked for an underlying cause, like thyroid dysfunction?

[q123477]

Why do you have one of these?

[bionerd23]

lol, quite funny that my arrhythmia started in 2005/2006 - way before i even posessed / handled mercury. ;-)

i think my arrhythmia is stress related, as it got much better now i live alone and got a flat for myself. i used to have ~25.000 extrasystoles in a day back then!

[bionerd23]

by the way: placebo treatment is awesome. just tell the patient you know what's wrong and that you're gonna give him a pill to cure it - and if he believes it, he's got great chances to get better, just by believing it - even if he receives pills that only contain sugar... it's how homeopathy works, too. i've read quite a few interesting studies where they injected water that could be as effective as morphine - if the patient was told he was given morphine.

good to hear it worked for you, too!

[bionerd23]

hey, now my comments dont make sense anymore. :-P

THE ORIGINAL POST:

jimbobg65 has made a comment on cardiac arrhythmia EKG:

Nice rhythm :) Mine used to be the same occasionally, or sometimes a lot worse. In fact, it's been almost perfect for the past 6 months since having heavy metal detox treatment - most notably for Mercury toxicity ;)

[xsvegosl66]

i find that it's every hard for me to run or do any thing when i'm on my med for adhd why is that

[bionerd23]

probably due to the strain the medication can put on the heart; e.g. in can lead to hypertension. talk to your doctor about it / see a cardiologist.

[JaksProductions]

your heart is as unstable as plutonium!=9

[ethanhines]

@4:58 so because there was a beat in between each PVC it's not VTac?

[bionerd23]

yes, exactly. that occurance is called a ventricular bigeminus.

[sigmaxx6]

How in the world are you able to tolerate all those irregular heart beats? They feel so uncomfortable for me, and I only get maybe 7-8 pvc's a day. I mostly have sinus arrythmia and occasional bouts of sinus tachycardia and rarely atrial tachy. How do you deal with them without making a fuss?

[bionerd23]

as i live by a quote from marie curie: "nothing in life is to be feared, it is only to be understood", i just dont worry about them. :P

i have sufficient cardiology knowledge to tell what's going on when i see an EKG, so whenever i feel something is odd, i hook myself up to my monitor and check it out.

as those irregular heartbeats are not life-threatening or anything, i just ignore them... or record a video of them. ;-)

[enotdetcelfer]

I know what I want for Xmas... EKGs are awesome. I wish I could record readings of me running to see how I adapt to hills/breath/pace changes.

[ccronn]

Is that your hearbeat or someone elses?

[bionerd23]

it's mine.

all my videos are of MY heartbeat. if i ever record somebody else's heartbeat on my monitor, i will clearly state that.

[XxkutaapxX]

very irregular heartbeat, makes me think of my own lol, can never get a good reading when i use my fingers to check on my pulse xD

[alin0steglinski0]

pulse oximeters are one of the banes of my life right now...

[tnzfki]

ever tried this on speed?

[bionerd23]

no, but on ritalin. does that count, too? :P

[tnzfki]

heh i watched that

i already used ritalin to stay up for long but its very different from speed in my eyes

i was up for 4 days and 3 nights while beeing in school every day

and i was even better at school XD

[bionerd23]

hm, doesnt do that for me... it even helps me sleep.

that goes for normal doses though (10mg).

[tnzfki]

10 mg per day?

i used ritalin sr (20mg) each and i took like 5 per day :p

ld50 is 100 mg~ (dunno if its meant per day)

i was driving my car i didnt feel any difference (only when i needed my next pill i was nearly fallin asleep)

well im not adicted to it still got some but im keep for LAN's etc XD (ive to mention that i combined em with alcohol) :p

[bionerd23]

10mg per dose, "as needed". usually, i take it twice a day. if i need to be focused and concentrating on something long, then one pill every 2-3 hours.

[tnzfki]

well how do you get it if you take it that often? :p

i just got some from a friend with a recipe for them but he refuses to take em.

you just faked adhs? or what? :p

[bionerd23]

i get them from my doctor on prescription for adhd. i do not fake adhd, as i was officially diagnosed with adhd at a hospital (including neuropsychological testing, examination of my school report cards, etc.).

[tnzfki]

cool need that too my bro got it XD

[L0wnyus]

can you show us the effects of meth on the body with that machine?

[bionerd23]

sure! feel free to drop by and i will hook you up to my monitor to demonstrate the effects of meth on the cardiac system.

[L0wnyus]

if you provide me with meth, fine.

seriously, take some large amounts of ritalin, its the same as meth :D

[rolif1000]

interesting video!

please make more!!!

[lightguy79]

there is no pacemaker visible, almost everyone has single foci PVCs which are benign, they become more prevalent with stress and caffeine, what worries is you appear to be having some multi foci PVCs as well wick is more concerning

[bionerd23]

yeah, exactly.

i used to have mostly LVOT with some rare apex PVCs, and now i have at least four types of polymorph ventricular extrasystoles (impossible to tell without a - at best - 12-lead ecg)... plus some supraventricular ones.

that's why i'm saying: "increased electrical instability".

[JFischer91]

Quite interesting! Why is your heart unstable like that? You use a pacemaker?

[bionerd23]

nope, i dont have a pacemaker.

i'm suspecting thyroid issues to be responsible, but i dont know what exactly made the arrhythmia worse lately. maybe stress plays a role, too - who knows? hard to tell.

[killeninicent]

what wrong with you? and how did this happen to u?

[bionerd23]

no idea, i'm suspecting thyroid issues.

[Cortex20006]

Hi Bionerd How are you?

[bionerd23]

fine, thanks. :P
