Cardiac risk factors and metabolic syndrome in patients with schizophrenia

Whats your arytmia @Fellowman? Is it a new thing?

About three months ago it started. I felt this strange numb movement on my chest every now and then. I told my sister about it and she said it might be anxiety. So I walked like that for a couple of weeks until it got worse and I went to see the doctor. They did an ecg whereby they pick up an arythmia. Then I wear a Holter ecg for 24 hours. It showed 240 arythms over a 24 hour period. That’s how I got diagnosed with cardiac arythmia and subsequently prescribed meds for the condition. What is your arythms like?

I have something called Inapropriate sinus tachycardi. I also have some arythmias but not that many. It is mainly a very high pulse, annoying.
