Well, I saw my primary care doc on Wednesday regarding the erratic heart beat. First of all, I found out that you shouldn't have anything but water after an acupuncture treatment. Alcohol is a no-no. I only had a quarter cup of wine, but who knew. My primary care doc said if it happens again, I should try to get to an urgent care center and get an ekg while it's happening. If I can't do that, I'll need to get a monitor from a cardiologist so they can determine what kind of problem this is. If it doesn't happen except every few years, I shouldn't worry. Hah! Try telling that to my Jewish genes.
I feel really good, though. The mucus problem seems to be clearing up and my voice is clear. I have good energy and the tingling has abated so I'm not waking up so much at night. Whew! Let's hope this lasts awhile.
How about all of you? Good I hope. Happy weekend, everyone.
Blessings,
Karen

Good news! Hope you continue to feel better ad better. :) I got good news from doctor as well. My A1C levels have dropped and I am shaking my tail feathers. LOL
Great news, Karen! I had no idea about alcohol and acupuncture. So glad you're better!
So glad you now have your mind at ease. Often, it takes an outsider to do that.
Good weekend to you too.
Wow! Karen, I wouldn't have thought that a small amount of wine was dangerous. Keep well my friend and take care of your bealth.

Hi Karen - so pleased things are looking up .. keep the positive improvements up .. cheers Hilary
At least you have an idea what caused your heart to race.
No alcohol after acupuncture? Who knew? Glad you got an answer.
Well, none of us are sure that was the cause, but I'm thinking it was. I'd rather think that then there's a heart problem!

Glad to hear everything is ok.
Have a great weekend Karen!!
Your new slogan - don't acupuncture and drink.
Glad you are feeling better!
Just got home from a singing gig - what a blast! Sorry I missed responding individually, but thanks so much for all the well wishes. I drink so rarely, it's really funny if that is, indeed, what caused my heart to go whacky.
Have a fun weekend, everyone
Karen

Glad all is well. Or at least reasonably so. Have a good weekend.
I've never had acupuncture, but I've never heard about the no alcohol thing. I hope you're feeling ok :)
