## Zachary Vance - Symptom Timeline
+
### Non-recent, heart-related
- **2019-06-04**: Retired (became more sedentary)
- **2020-01-23**: **"Skipped" or hollow-feeling beat** (first heart palpitation). At colorado airport (high-altitude), on some caffein.
- **2020-10-09**: First **heart racing**
- **2020-12-09**: Began new exercise program. Previously had started laying down 20-22 hours a day during quarantine. Instead started sitting all day, using standing desk at least an hour a day, eating more veggies, etc. Still going as of 2021-04.
- **2020-12-12**: Confirmed heart is racing for no reason (90-130bpm, for half hour to hour), feeling of it being 'exhausted' outside those periods. Some B-2 and riboflavin supplementation seemed to relieve "exhausted" feeling. Heart racing and tiredness symptoms disappeared a few weeks after this. I stayed on occasional B-2 but not riboflavin.

### Recent (complete)
The first time a symptom appears, it is **bolded**.
-I've had two distinct kinds of lightheadedness--ask me about it. The first kind was the usual kind--like when you stand up too quickly. It usually got better or went away if I sat or laid down. The second I don't know how to describe, but it seemed to be hard to focus, and it was correlated with feeling like blood was pooling in my head.

The second I don't know how to describe, but it seemed to be hard to focus, and it was correlated with pressure in my head or feeling like blood was pooling in my head.
- **2021-03-24**: Had a short **episode** where I felt like I increasingly wasn't getting oxygen (but could physically breathe fine). Checked using a pulse oximiter--blood oxygen was 96%, but pulse was 120 and rose to 180 by the time I grabbed my roommate to keep an eye on me. Went back down within a couple minutes. Legs/arms were clenching on their own. Had a glass of water and an ibuprofen. Heart rate was relatively normal (85-90) an hour later so didn't go to the ER. Episode was about 2 hours after a stressful falling-out with a stranger. Trouble sleeping.
- **2021-03-25**: Try to relax. Feeling ok.
