[QUOTE="flutterbee, post: 213473"] Sharon, have you talked to your endocrinologist about the possible connection between Addison's and the heart palpitations? I did some quick reading and read where Addison's can cause a sudden drop in blood pressure and potassium and either one of those could cause palpitations. Low iron could, too. Of course, I accidentally closed that page and can't find it again to post for you. But, I think it would be good to talk about this with the endo. Besides the EKG, I would talk to your doctor about...shoot, can't remember the technical name...but it's a holter thing you wear for 24 hours that monitors your heart rate. An EKG reads for 10 seconds, so it can miss a lot. [/QUOTE]
