weird heart attack feeling i get at night

[Leo28]

When i lay down to go to bed i feel like im having a heart attack! just before i fall asleep, its scary. Doesnt happen in the day and if i get up and walk around it completely stops instantly. Iv narrowed it down to either the hgh, t3 or ephedra..... i think its gh anyone had this happen??? again its only at night when im trying to fall asleep not in the morning. and if i get up it goes away. weird!

 

[Paul Bunyan]

I'd say it's probably the t3 and ephedra that are doing it. Have you checked your blood pressure and resting heart rate lately?

The ephedra ........... I was on very high doses with too much cardio combined.

My rec is to consult with a DR. to make sure things are straight with your heart. Those symptoms are an alarm. Could also be creating anxiety and that is also a side.

It's acid reflux.

No, it's not the same thing as heartburn.

The valve on the top of your stomach isn't shutting all the way, and while it may not have been severe enough to cause actual heartburn symptoms, it's probably been going on for awhile (because you didn't have any symptoms you didn't know there was a problem), and now it's eaten a hole in your esophagus (sp) right above your stomach and acid from your stomach is now coming up into your lower esophagus and escaping into your body through the hole it's created over time.

That's why when you get up the pain stops, the acid stops running out of your stomach and why you don't have the pain during the day because you're up and moving around and gravity keeps your stomach acid down in your stomach.

The reason this condition seems so unlikely is because your stomach doesn't hurt, you are not having heartburn or any acid taste in your mouth, and you'll swear you're having a heart attack. When you're having stabbing-sharp pains in your chest, back, and neck you don't associate it with something that doesn't hurt at all (your stomach), you associate it with where the pain actually is.


First, lay off starchy carbs late in the day, especially before bedtime.

Second, call your Doc and ask for an endoscopy.



Sounds weird, I know, but it's exactly what I went through. Hurts like hell and you swear it's a heart attack. I didn't think it made sense at first either, but that's exactly what it was.


Tell you what, if you think I'm fulla shit (I didn't believe it either when it was happening to me), next time you have the pain run to the fridge and chug some milk (just plain-ass old milk). If it's the condition I described, it will kill the pain almost immediately. Your "heart attack" will be over in an instant. It's amazing how you can be in so much pain and have it completely gone in the snap of your fingers.



LMK if that helps.

I'd say it's the ephedra. I get your symptoms when I skip using it a couple days...which is rare.

i'm not a medical professional, but maybe stop taking whatever you're on, or maybe not so much of it.

come on if you feel like you are having a heart attack - get off the shit!!!!!!! common sense

 

[The Striated One]

I used to get the same thing laying in bed sometimes after taking ephedra or synephrine based products.

I'll be laying there with a normal pulse and for some reason my heart beat stalls for a second. It freaks the shit out of me and I jump up out of bed because I'm too afraid that if I lay back down it'll stop for good.

THATS IT!!!

This EXACT same thing happened to me and still does sometimes, try the milk thing and you will know if thats it.

 

[maldorf]

This could be something to do with your heart. When you lay down your venous return increases and you have a faster return of blood to your heart. This can cause an increase work load for the heart. I know right after my heart attack I found that my heart was working very hard when I lay down and that my rhythm was all screwed up, heart beat irregular. this is very common for people with heart trouble.
If I were you I would get off everything and have a visit with your doc to get evaluated. Dont want to sound paranoid, but its better to play it safe. I would have an ekg every year reguardless.

 

[terryd5150]

Yup!

Guys, the keys to what he is saying is this:


1. It's happening right before he falls asleep, as opposed to later on in the AM while he's asleep.


That's the time your stomach works the hardest to digest the meals you've eaten before bedtime. Later on while he's sleeping (5-6hrs later), his stomach isn't producing near as much acid because he's effectively been fasting since he's been asleep (hasn't eaten, duh, he's asleep).


2. Problem subsides when he stands up.


Gravity is pulling the acid back down into his stomach. 'Nuff said.



Cut down on carbs late in the day, especially sugars and starchy carbs. Do not eat carbs right before going to bed.


Go to your doctor, have an ECG and an endoscopy.

 

[GoneForever]

There's no way its the GH and rare for it to be the t3 unless your using a lot. I could be many things, but if you had to narrow it down to a supplement its more than likely the ephedra. Try cutting it out for a few weeks and see what happens. But def see a doc.

I am on oral tbol and i have terrible acid reflux i guess that is what it is. i pretty much have to be chewing gum after every meal or my throat hurts so bad its unbarable. (chewing gum takes away acid indigestion better than tums, pepto bismol, or anything else)

 

[GoneForever]

Try taking prilosec.

What is your resting heart rate at during the day? Wondering if its high.

Get some Zantac. Take 150 mg twice a day.
also what doses of T3 and Ephedrine are you on?
Those have and effect as well as the GH and the water retention for it.
All three together can be trouble.
The acid needs to stop and the throat needs to be healed via reduction of acid.

 

[cooper250]

sounds like anxiety brought on by the t3 and ephedrine.i cant take any stimulants not even caffeine.probaly should stop all the above or atleast drop the ephedrine.and maybe keep low dose of t-3 if u can tollerate it.
im no doctor so take my adice for what its worth.

Well, thats certainly a great resting rate, especially considering all of what youre taking. SO your heart rate is a good sign. I would still talk to a doc if it continues. You also say that it happens when you lay down to go to bed. Does it happen whenver you lay down, no matter what time of day?
