• The General Mental Health Forum is now a Read Only Forum. As we had two large areas making it difficult for many to find, we decided to combine the Mental Health & the Recovery sections of the forum into Mental Health & Recovery as a whole. Physical Health still remains as it's own area within the entire Recovery area.

    If you are having struggles, need support in a particular area that you aren't finding a specific recovery area forum, you may find the General Struggles forum a great place to post. Any any that is related to emotions, self-esteem, insomnia, anger, relationship dynamics due to mental health and recovery and other issues that don't fit better in another forum would be examples of topics that might go there.

    If you have spiritual issues related to a mental health and recovery issue, please use the Recovery Related Spiritual Advice forum. This forum is designed to be like Christian Advice, only for recovery type of issues. Recovery being like a family in many ways, allows us to support one another together. May you be blessed today and each day.

  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

I have had a racing heart at times, and then I am very tired. it doesn't happen very often. the worst one was about three weeks, then today but not as bad though.
my doctor said my blood tests are normal, and will be getting an ECG.
my family has heart issues.
I am just worried about it.
any advice?

You said very tired.. is it only after these episodes or is it all the time? How's your sleep?

I work weird hours but my sleep is ok. i'm very tired after my heart has raced.
Okay just making sure cause if you were tired all the time from say sleep apnea, that can make your heart race and have palpitations because you're not getting good sleep. But it doesn't sound like that's the issue if it's only after these episodes.
The ECG should hopefully tell more about what's going on.
I'll pray for you too.

ECG should find the cause. Worry makes everything worse. It's a real good time to learn to trust the Lord for your health. I've had to. Last year, atrial fibrillation, this year pancreatitis. The Lord got me through both conditions.
