Holiday heart syndrome Puns

For 3-4 years, I've been getting a racing heart anytime I have more than 1 alcoholic drink (beer, wine, liquor, coolers, etc.) and it keeps me awake all night long. I've gotten a LOT of tests done over the years. All test have confirmed that I have a healthy heart. One loop monitor confirmed that I had inappropriate sinus tachycardia while I was drinking. I got a liver panel test that confirmed my electrolyte levels were fine as well. I've tried things like milk thistle to support my liver, drinking lots of water, and taking potassium and magnesium vitamins - nothing seems to help. It's almost like I'm allergic to alcohol (even in small doses). It feels like there's a surge of adrenaline/epinephrin that happens until the alcohol is fully metabolized. I also read that it could have something to do with the nerves responsible to slowing the heart down being weak/damaged. This never happens if I don't drink alcohol but I'm finding it hard to be a total non-drinker. Regardless, I'd love to be able to discover the core issue incase it's related to some other health complications. What sort of tests and experiments should I do next in order to find out the cause of this?

Hi all,

Very fit, bodybuilder, age 24, male. Have thrown up half of the time i’ve drank in the past year, before the alcohol even kicks in or sometimes the same night at 3am after i’ve sobered up.

I rarely drink, <1month but when I do it’s to get drunk.

Today I have a HR of 85-100 (it’s been fluctuating with attempted vagal maneuvers) and my normal HR is 50ish, often lower. I believe I am in v tach, but not a-fib as it’s a regular beat just fast and quick to jump up or down 10bpm. I drank 15 or so drinks last night, I’m a massive heavyweight and this got me mediumly drunk. not slurring.

This morning the nausea and what i thought was stomach gurgling but I’ve now palpated to the heart, my PMI is difficult to feel although the left ventricle can be felt along the anterior axillary line at rib 5. Pulse is weak but consistent.

If I have holiday heart syndrome, what’s the protocol here? Hospital?

Dr. Steven R Gundry published an abstract in American Heart Association journal, last month, where he revealed the findings of his study where he found that COVID-19 mRNA vaccines increased the pre vac predicted 11% 5 yr ACS risk to a post vac predicted 25% 5 yr ACS risk in his patient population of 566 patients. This abstract was just updated today to address an expression of concern that was added after it was published last month. BTW, heart attack is a type of Acute Coronary Syndrome.

After the abstract was published, world renowned cardiologist Dr. Aseem Malhotra revealed on UK TV news channel GBN that a group of researchers from a prestigious British institution cardiology department also had the same findings as Dr. Gundry via imaging studies of coronary arteries, but decided not to publish their research for fear of losing research funding from the drug industry.

Hi Guys, I am new here and am 1 week sober, which is probably the longest I haven’t had a drink in 15 years. This is a long time coming, but what really pushed me over the edge was health scares as related to the subject of this post.

At the end of March, I went to the ER with chest pains/ dizziness after a binge. They took EKG, blood tests, x-rays, etc and was discharged with nothing found. I didn’t give much thought after that until a week ago, when I binged again, and had the same chest pains. I haven’t gone to the hospital, and my chest pains are now only a few times a day instead of constant. I haven’t had any yet today.

Has anyone else experienced anything like this? I would like to stop drinking for over a month and go get a full battery of tests, to get a true baseline of my health. I’ve also started exercising every day and eating a lot better.

I am not sure if I am done drinking forever. I just know I am not going to drink anytime soon. Not sure if taking it day by day is the best approach, but that is what I am doing.

I just discovered this song and I love it if ur getting into Green Day for the first time check that song out it’s awesome

I'm currently in school for coding. I'm trying to complete some homework and I'm stumped. "Holiday heart syndrome with atrial fibrillation; patient had a drinking binge over Labor Day weekend. Patient. Patient abuses alcohol". Just from looking in the index, I see that there is no Holiday Heart syndrome I can just go and easily code. Looks like I need to code some sort of cardiac condition and then code the alcohol related issues. I'm just not sure what the hell to code here. Looks like it's going to be a bunch of codes. Help!

Anyone else experienced this? It's been a year now since I found inner peace alone in my apartment after a bad break up. It was terrifying but I needed it to happen. Would love to hear somebody else's experience.

I was saddened to hear Dan talk himself into KC as his new favorite team. Not necessarily because he was front running, but because it struck me that he is acting out of a broken heart. Many of us have had that relationship that ends poorly and you subconsciously say to yourself, "I'm going to go out there and find the exact opposite of that guy/gal." So you go out there and you find the total, absolute opposite of your previous squeeze, thinking that will be the answer to your woes. But alas, as all your friends and family realize right away, this is approaching love from the wrong place, the wrong headspace, hence dooming the relationship before it even begins.

As a fervent fan of the Tugboat, I just hope he is okay. If you read this Dan, please hear your friends and family telling you straight up that you are not yet ready to love again. You must love yourself first and then the Universe will send you the right team.

Peace be with you.

I've been playing for approx. 1 year and over Christmas I took about 3 weeks off work. During this time, I took on a "Project Song" which is basically just a song I know is a couple of levels above where my playing is to just grind away at. I chose Muse - Stockholm Syndrome because fast, alternate picked sixteenth notes are something I need to work on.

The clip is entirely my guitar playing against a backing track (which omits the guitar). I ended the song short right before the tremolo picked solo which at this point is too much of a reach for me. I think it sounds really well but please provide any feedback you have.

I'm a 25 year old male, declared healthy by specialists numerous times. I'm moderately fit and lean.

I liked to drink beer on occasion. With friends at a bbq, at night at a bar or whatever. I suffered from mild to severe anxiety off and on the last couple of years. It's health anxiety, because I'm irrationally afraid of having a cardiac arrest while playing sports of walking around town or whatever. It brought a decent amount of agoraphobia with it, which I'm luckely conquering right now.

During my Easter vacation and the week before I think I went through the worst anxiety I had until now, and hopefully it won't happen again. I was immensely tired, couldn't sleep at all for about one week straight, and I was in fear of my mental and physical health, especially my heart.

The last weekend of my vacation I went to a bar with a friend. I was still heavily anxious and tired. I drank two heavy beers and I got even more anxious.

As we stood up to pay the bill and leave, I felt a drop in my chest multiple times, which was really scary. My heart was racing like crazy while walking outside. I was never happier to get back to the car and sit down. As soon as we got home, I got out of the car, and experienced it again. I went upstairs, fell asleep after being awake and anxious for a while.

After that occasion I'm really afraid of drinking alcohol. My anxiety got milder, I feel better now and started exercising again, but I would still like to enjoy drinking with friends once in a while.

My cardiologist dismissed it when I told him about it, telling me it was most likely the intense fatigue in combination with anxiety that caused it.

I'm still not sure. I had something similar a couple of years ago after a couple glasses of whine. My heart kind of dropping when standing up. I experienced it twice and never again after that. But the last one was worse.

Any insight on this? I explained my parents and they both told me that when they were tired or not feeling well alcohol made their heart do weird things also, yet they're both still incredibly fit.

It’s holiday season and of course there’s lots of food to go around. I have a reputation of eating more than anyone else at the table in one sitting. This is especially obvious during the holidays. They started to catch up with me recently when I realize that I was 40 pounds overweight. Seeing that number on the scale was a wake up call and I realized I needed to make some serious changes.

I’ve spent the last six months or so eating clean, exercising regularly, and just being mindful of my habits. I’ve lost weight some but still have a long way to go, my skin has cleared up tremendously and overall I feel great.

With Thanksgiving, I didn’t feel the need to overeat for the sake of eating. I honestly was satisfied with smaller portions of food. Of course indulged in my favorite dishes but even then I didn’t overdo it like I used to in the past.

Unfortunately for me, my family took notice of my new eating habits and weight loss and expressed their concerns. This varied from asking me why I’m not eating a lot, accusing me of having an ED because ‘You always eat so damn much’ and ultimately trying to force-feed me through peer pressure.

As annoying as it was, I didn’t let that break me. I recognize when I was hungry and when I was full. I wasn’t interested in the food but more so being with my family that I haven’t seen over a year.

So with all that being said, I’m proud of myself for making small but significant lifestyle changes and looking forward to reaching my weight loss goal. I’m not gonna let family pressure take that away for me.

LINK: "Broken Heart" Syndrome Spikes During COVID-19 | Cedars-Sinai

Cedars-Sinai Hospital System

No one is sure what triggers stress cardiomyopathy, but experts are certain that it’s on the rise. Incidence of the disease—also known as Takotsubo or "broken heart" syndrome—increased in 2020, and the COVID-19 pandemic is one reason for the spike.

"Families are extremely stressed by deaths of loved ones, and by losing jobs and homes," says C. Noel Bairey Merz, MD, director of the Barbra Streisand Women’s Heart Center at the Smidt Heart Institute, and the Irwin and Sheila Allen Chair in Women’s Heart Research. "Our own studies of Takotsubo syndrome indicate it was already on the rise before the COVID-19 pandemic, partly because it’s better recognized than it used to be."

Debate: I know that correlation doesn't equal to correlation, but this is awfully convenient for the "Safe and Effective" crowd.

This is literally me just needing to rant because I have nowhere and no one else I can talk to about this. It’s long as fuck and I’ve spent the past few days writing it. And I’m posting it because idk why but I feel like I really need to do I’m going to. If it brakes the rules just let me know. Otherwise if you can make it threw this whole read you truely are a champion. I do love to write so I’m always open to constructive criticism. And if you think ima. Shit person for anything in this well idk what you tell you. I’m genuinely glad that your a better person then me then keep doing what your doing. And set an example for us old fools. I started to edit it to make it an easy read but I’m not feeling to good it’s almost feeling like an Er trip night. So sorry it’s so all over the place and just crazy unorganized. If it helps anyone then awesome. If it doesn’t then we’ll hopefully it was entertaining.

Back in 08 ‘ish before oxy did a magic trick and turned into fentenyl and before op’s (the none smokable script from what I heard existed at least I quit right before I started hearing about those) I was in high school and selling weed/ecstasy/cocaine whatever I could get my hands on that wasn’t meth or heroin cuz I could neveerrr do those those were to much to far (HA! I’d kick my own ass now) I’d spend my days driving around my small town with with my friends. Now I always liked opiates with the few times I had experience with them. Mostly a lot of 512s because I preferred them over the pure percs to snort because they got me higher I felt like and the drip was soooo delicious. So naturally anytime someone offered me a pill well who am I to say no that’s just rude. I remember one night one of my best friends brothers had a giant bottle of Darvacet. We were drink in and doing coke and it seemed like every 15 minutes he was like hey want a pill. N I obliged. I was probably 20 deep maybe more and finally took some ecstasy. Good ol mid 2000s pill press shit. Green ladies. Now My testers said it was bad shit and had promethazine or something else that had a bad reaction (those pills caused a lot of drama ) so I decided to try them myself to verify this. Of course my dumbass picked that night. So about half an 18 rack 20 ish darvacet a gram or two of coke in I took two of them at a party by the river. I literally felt the entire universe vibrate and not in a good way. People started boiling river water in a camp fire in cut in half Busch’s cans they’d use the

Long haul post-vaccine syndrome deals with a variety of symptoms that have been reported post Covid-19 vaccine. Some patients are reported to have presented with symptoms which resemble acute Covid-19 infections and others have presented with symptoms seen in patients suffering from Long haul Covid. Long haul post-vaccine syndrome may present in patients several months after taking Covid vaccine shots. All this is evident from the findings of Dr. Bruce Patterson via diagnostics tests as he presented in this YouTube video segment. He revealed to Dr. Peter McCullough in a recent podcast (he starts speaking at time 28:30) that his research revealed the same mechanism of inflammation in the vaccinated as in COVID long haulers, which is spike protein s1 sub-unit circulating in non classical monocytes for 15+ months as he described in the above YouTube video. A recent study published by UC Davis researchers cites Network Hypothesis by Nobel Laureate Niels Jerne and hypothesizes that anti-ACE2 antibodies generated by the immune system to down-regulate the initially generated protective antibodies may be to blame for these vaccine side effects. This hypothesis is in agreement with Dr. Bruce Patterson's findings, as the anti-ACE2 antibodies will be picked up by monocytes when they bind to the ACE2 receptors on cell membranes and the diagnostics tests that detect real spike protein s1 sub-units via binding action to them would also test positive due to binding action to these anti-ACE2 antibodies. However, this hypothesis, whose premise is that this phenomenon of generation of anti-idiotype antibodies is rare, does not explain why 100% of Dr. Steven Gundry's vaccinated patient population of 566 patients, who already had an elevated 5 yr ACS risk of 11% prior to getting their mRNA vaccine shots, tested for dramatically elevated 5 yr ACS risk of 25% after the shots, as discussed in recently published abstract 10172 in American Heart Association journal Circulation. Another alternate theory of anti-ACE2 antibodies being generated because a complex of the spike protein bound to ACE2 is pres
