Hi,I am Dr. Alexander H. Sheppe (Psychiatrist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I have looked everywhere to find something with my symptoms and I cannot. Please be aware I am seeing an MD for this, and I have been on an Event Monitor for 1 month. My follow up is in a week.
My heart sometimes beats in a rhythm similar to this. First it is normal, then pauses, then beats faster, then normal. Hopefully this will help you understand what I'm saying.
Ba-bump Ba-bump Ba-bump Ba-bump (long pause......) BA-BUMP babumpbabumpbabumpbabump and then repeats about every 10 seconds.
It will repeat this cycle about every 10 seconds. When it happens I can get light headed and feel I need to faint. It also makes me extremely anxious and keeps me up at night, because I have a fear my heart will stop when it does this.
Does anybody else have this? Can you please tell me your diagnoses or lead me in a direction so I can understand what it is. This is not just straight forward bradycardia, its something different.
I already explained that I have been on an Event Monitor which is a longer version of the Holter Monitor (30 days) and I have eliminated caffeine from my diet.

Yes it increases on inhaling, decreases on exhale, every time.
Does your heart rate increase when you breath in and slow down when you exhale? Well it sounds like you have a sinus arrythmia which is a normal finding but wait until you get the final report from your Dr but that is something you will not have to worry about , take care,Donna
