I made it home from work early to clean my car chassis on this beautiful, sunny, 65F day. But I felt light-headed & nauseous suddenly which only means 1 thing FOR ME, an elevated heart rate. Sure enough, my heart-rate was 170+ while at the same time my blood PRESSURE was really low. That means my heart was having shallow, unproductive, but rapid contractions... something I am not unfamiliar with. I took some metoprolol to bring my heart-rate down and right this moment my blood-pressure is 129/68 with a heart-rate of 67 and I feel much better, so I'm gonna go clean the car chassis. I had a heart attack in 2012, my older brother died of the same thing when he was 29 just like my grandfather did at age 39. I sure hope this is not my last post! (kidding, but also not kidding)
