Had a stress test and passed with flying colors, wore an event monitor for a month and all they found was an occasional early beat. None of the docs have put me on any kind of exercise restrictions.

With that all said I often feel uncomfortable during the riding season with a heavy heart beat. I expect to look down and see my heart jumping out of my chest like a Tex Avery cartoon character. It is especially noticable after doing longer rides. During the winter when I don't ride as much it seems to go away. Since the Seagull on Sat, I've felt very shaky and uncomfortable. Just checked my BP and it's 129/66, HR is 58. One thought I had was I may be over compensating on the electrolytes and taking in too much sodium. My BP was 149/80 last night and I made sure to drink a lot of water.

Anyone have a similar experience? Any thoughts on this?
