r/RoemheldSyndrome

My watch showed my sleeping HR in the low 50’s, then in an instance, it shot up to 137 and woke me up in a panic. Holy shit it is terrifying. I hate this so much.

Ive been dealing with pretty severe roemheld the past month or two but a recurring symptom I have sometimes is waking up with a heart rate in the 130s, subsequently follow by a gradual increase to the 200s upon sitting up. This is usually accompanied by chest fullness, discomfort, and very much acid reflux or gas. It is only when sleeping on my back or stomach tbh

The 200s will last around 2 minutes before calming down, sometimes less than 30 seconds. It also kinda beats harder and more prominently. I also shake profusely and shiver afterwards. I have Hyper POTS too any clues?

Because the doctors don’t!

Had some vagal afib episodes in October, all tests say my heart is healthy. Currently taking flecainide twice daily and had no afib since then.

Instead I have daily ectopic palpitations, which usually start later in the day, and are accompanied by bloating and gas.

I run, and this stops them, with no issues when running.

I have ectopic palpitations when I lean or bend over, lie and sit down.

My diaphragm is very tight and the stomach bloating is obvious.

Any ideas would be much appreciated!
