Guest guest Posted July 3, 2012 Report Share Posted July 3, 2012 is it related to SMA? And by tachycardia I don't mean our " normal " elevated heart rate. I went to a cardiologist a year and a half ago and I checked out fine. Any ideas? I'm 22 years old and a weak type II. I notice that several times (not all) when the episodes happen, it is shortly after I have eaten. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 3, 2012 Report Share Posted July 3, 2012 My heart races after eating certain types of food... it seems salty foods kick my heart into over-drive. For example, if I eat pizza, I know my heart will race, if I have a boring green salad, it will not race. Dunno why, but this seems to have become more pronounced as I've gotten older (I'm 42 now). I told my doctor about this and he didn't seem concerned. I would love to know the cause if anyone knows. From: laurablair620@...

Guest guest Posted July 3, 2012 Report Share Posted July 3, 2012 I've been diagnosed with Tachycardia, BUT the doctors have no clue why, I'm healthy and my heart and lungs are fine. Mine isn't caused by anything, no matter when it's taken in the last 5 or 6 years its been fast. I also don't feel it, so my doctors said not to worry unless it starts to bother me.

Guest guest Posted July 3, 2012 Report Share Posted July 3, 2012 Sodium can raise your blood pressure which can then effect your heart rate. Lori ________________________________ From: " boojiboy@...

Guest guest Posted July 4, 2012 Report Share Posted July 4, 2012 There IS a connection between SMA and heart issues. Many of the parents of the type 1 & 2 kids are keeping a close eye on this with their doctors. There is an excellent doctor that we saw at Ohio State (I'm in Mich) and he and his peers are extensively testing the kids that come in to the clinic. ne's (type 2, 15 yrs) neurologist has discussed this with me many times. He states that we know there is a cardiac problem -- but we just don't know the link yet. ne has episodes of tachycardia as well as an irregular heartbeat. For now, we are just watching and routinely testing her. Several younger SMA children have died from heart issues. Suzanne What's The News On ne & Latte? www.our-sma-angels.com/neRose (ne's website - Check it out!!) Jesus said, ' " I tell you the truth, when you refused to help the least of these, my brothers and sisters, you were refusing to help Me. " 25:45 God doesn’t use us because of how strong we are. He uses us because of how willing we are to meet Him where He is working. Where Do People With Disabilities Fit Into God's Kingdom? " For I know the plans I have for you, " says the Lord. " They are plans for good and not disaster, to give you a future and a hope.... " 29:11 Lord grant me the strength to be content where I am. The patience to wait on Your timing. And the faith to remember that You have Your hand always on my heart.
