Pain Posted: 08-03-04 17:36pm
I have a uti which won't go away and it
hurts in my lower abdomen so much. It
hurts to move, lay down, breathe... I
also have a pain in my lower back on the
left side. It's horrible and it shoots
down my leg. As if it's not bad enough,
i've started having my heart skip beats
and it feels like it's pounding out of my
chest and I get short of breath. What's
wrong with me? I'm so freaked out...

Are you on any meds? The fact that your
heart is pounding and skipping beats
worries me a little. Have you ever had
any heart problems before? Of course, the
best thing for you to do is to call your
doctor. I was thinking that if you were
on some kind of medication, it might be
causing those things. I'm a nursing
student, so I could look up the side
effects for ya if you want me to. I'm
sorry about all the pain. I would call
your doctor and let him know whats going
on, he would probably want to know! Keep
me updated!

U really do need to calm down I actually
went through having heart palipatations
where it skips beats and got on a heart
monitor and everything like that and what
happened to me was I got kinda hotish
sweaty kinda and my heart would pound
really hard and I could feel weird stuff
through my arms and legs somtimes and then
I also got short of breth which I thought
were athsma attacks but wasent. What
happened though was I went to the dr and
they gave me a monitor to wear for 2 weeks
then got me on some medacine for it. What
can cause it is anxiety levels being high
or if your worried about somthing, if you
drink lots of soda with caffine or just
have to much intake of caffine period,
stress, and lack of sleep. O yea I almost
forgot if I was sitting for over a 30 min
period and stood up fast after an attack I
would balck out and get light headed. I
hope I helped you out I know those attacks
were very scary for me and actually not to
freak you out or anything but it runs in
my family and 1 in a million people can
die from it and my uncle died from that
very cause just last year thats why I got
checked out right away but thing is he
ignored the symptoms so its not like it
was random well to him anyway it shocked
the rest of the family but I hope I helped
and I dont want to scare you with that
last fact just thought you outta know that

Hey cara, don't worry! Heart pounding is
perfectly normal during pregnancy! Your
blood volume has increased by as much as
50% by now, so your heart is having to
work much harder to get all that blood
around your body! I feel exactly the same
way.
