Nope no clots. They said I have a very athletic heart, im cleared by neuro, I have had EKG's EEG's, CT Scans, MRI's, and 3 cardiologists trying to find the root of the problem. So next up is stress testing and tilt table testing.

I used to have a similar issue although my heart would flutter and not pump properly for a while. I passed out once from it. They did every test they could think off to me and nothing was found to be wrong with my heart. I actually seem to have solved the issue myself. Ever since I have cleaned up my diet and cut out sodium, saturated fats, trans fats, etc I have had not one episode since. I think my sodium to potassium ratios were off in my cells even though they showed normal on my blood work (they take it before I eat in the AM) I believe that after eating my sodium levels became too high. I am still not 100% sure.

And David, I also don't eat sodium very much in my diet at all. I am actually kind of a health nut most of the time. Thats the odd thing.

Oh good ol' heart issues. Sound like a couple years ago for me. I would feel a very hard beat then not feel a pulse after that. I had all those tests done and they just said it was nothing life threatening. I guess my heart would fill with so much blood, which caused the hard beat, and the next beat would not register due to less amount of blood in the heart. (becuase the beat previous pumped so much) I figured out that it would happen more with stress and lack of sleep on my own.
Hope they figure it out man. Sucks

I had to wear one of those for a weekend. It sucked because the tape that the leads were holding on by started to come off because it was hot out and the sweat made the tape not stick... So I had to duct tape over them to hold. Stupid thing is there were 2 pool parties that weekend and here I am stuck in the shade with my stupid monitor on.
