    Sudden rapid heartbeat?

    I agree with Jenn. Have them hook you up with a continual EKG and see if there is a pattern. I have had heart issues for over a year now and have had anxiety attacks for 2 years. See a cardiologist.... rule stuff out. You have a lot on your plate. You have been through a traumatic event.

    To the "chubby" CFers

    To the I just found out today how cardio rehab is going to help me loose weight.... I will be exercising 5X a week cardio, 3 days a week strength, 2-3 days a week balance and 2-3 a week yoga. It should allow me to loose a few pounds in a controlled environment.

    To the "chubby" CFers
