Jason Leber I have fairly regular palpitations. I saw an electrophysiologist who ordered a halter monitor and then reviewed the results with me. He wasn't concerned. You can read the details in my journals. I would suggest you try to do the same - see an electrohpysiologist as they're the specialists when it comes to heart rhythms.

Hi Sonia, I don't know about the headaches but could it be stress from everything? I know that's when I tend to get them. i'm not i understood, but are you concerned about your scar and being physically attractive? if that's it, i guess for me I have to believe that the right person is not going to care about my scar, just my heart. blessings to you! I am also facing a second surgery sometimes in the next few months.

Tom Elliott Hi Sonia. I had a lot of headaches the first few days after surgery. Not migraine, but bad enough. I think a lot of it was physical tension. I couldn't get comfortable in bed and my shoulders and upper back/neck were constantly knotted up - massage helped some. Also, I'm a fairly heavy coffee drinker and since I wasn't allowed anything by mouth for a couple of days, I might also have been having caffeine withdrawal headaches.

Anyway, good luck to you!
