roseofsharon: I have been out for the evening, though I had to cry off and come home early. Didn't feel too good....
Just lately, I have been getting palpitations AND pins and needles in my hands and feet. Rather disconcerting, ya know?!
Thought a good night's sleep would help but now I find I can't sleep....!!
Any ideas, my lovely peeps??
Is there a (handsome) doctor in the house??
Sounds a little like what I had with a clog vein in my heart , and I had to have a stent put in. Also have you been checked for diabetes. It can do that too. Just get your self to a doctor appt. right away. Don't put it off, and worry your self sicker.

The combination sounds like stress but the pins and needles could be neurological. Neither thing is to be ignored palpitations if not stress related are not good.
I'm not a doctor, but I did go to nursing school...and I suggest you see a doctor.
Your pins and needles feelings indicate poor circulation, and the palpitations aren't a good sign either. See a doctor...NOW. Signs of heart attack or stroke can be subtle in women...can be almost anything, and very different from the classic signs we've learned from men.
Just in case, take a 1/2 an adult aspirin...not acetaminophin, ibuprofen, or any other pain reliever, but aspirin.
It could be a lot of things, but the palpitations concern me deeply, esp combined with not feeling well and the pins/needles thing.

Exactly I didn't have many signs when I had my heartattacks either.
So yes She should take your advice absolutely , it can't hurt to take the aspirin, it can save her life. And if it's not the heart, the aspirin isn't going to hurt her.

Call your doctor now, and contact the online physician or go to an ER. Don't take chances. Palpitations can be anything from stress / anxiety / panic to something serious and the tingling can can be neurological or something minor, but you can't tell.....

OMG!!!! You've had a heart attack... well, plural??? Jeez!!!
Thanks for the advice so far, folks.... sounds like it may be serious?? I'd better get it checked out......
Its not connected to diabestes, I have had that checked....
Mr Charioteer Consultant.... do I really have to give up the weed?? AND.... why ONLY 3 glasses of red wine?? What shall I do about the 4 other glasses that I have drunk?..... so far?

No, seriously.... thanks, peeps!!!
I had two things going on, I had high sugar levels they said it was at a stroke level. And at times half my body went numb. As for The heart disease the clogged vein in my heart didn't give me much warning other than a strange feeling in my chest and some tingling in my fingers and toes. And some heaviness in breathing. I went to the E. R. three different times before the E.K. G. finally showed something. So if they don't find anything, don't blow off going back to the doctor if symptoms persist or more show up. Take care and see your doctor right away.

Call now!
Yes, I have always worked way too hard. I have been stressed and exhausted beyond belief.... that must be a contributory factor, right?
I have heard about the aspirin thing... I will try that. Yes, I will make an appointment....
Ken.... I'm not easily scared, love, but.... you're scaring me!!
I can't be having a heart attack, surely? I would know about it.....
