It looks like this.
The name may escape you, but it's a condition that's estimated to affect as much as 40 percent of the U.S. population. And if you're among them, its an experience you'll never forget: Your heart rate suddenly shoots upward to 220 beats a minute, and it feels like it won't slow down. You feel flushed and have body chills. You may also feel nauseated and dizzy.
It's basically a temporary internal "electrical malfunction" that throws the heart's pacemaking system out of sync, causing instantaneous rapid heartbeat and the sudden release of adrenaline.
Seldom life-threatening.
For me, it has been going on for six weeks. Happens when I eat or swallow something. Causes me to get light headed and dizzy. Must decide to just put up with it or begin to take beta blockers.
