    Wow. I love watching your GS videos, but randomly relatable, I really feel your story. I had a similar issue where I started with some chest pain and ignored it. I then got heart palpitations which eventually got diagnosed as PVCs. It was really bad; near constant palpitations for 30+ minutes at a time. They think it may be stress because sometimes it randomly comes and goes. It is really scary and truly hard to describe how it feels to other people. I'm extremely happy you were able to figure out the cause and resolve your symptoms. I've never heard something so relatable when you said you were also desperate enough to pay like $10k for a cure 😂. I will have to look into your solution; did you just start to notice your shoulders tensing and try to relax them? Love the GS content, keep it up! Stay safe man.

      Ahhh not medical advice by any means. I didn’t get too much into detail in the vid. But the issue for me was in my neck. Relaxing my traps/shoulders as much as I can. Not letting my shoulders rise while working on the computer or driving. Also check for imbalances, I would drive with my left hand a lot and raise my shoulder when doing so. My back muscles on my left side are way more developed. Also wall angels (look it up) helps me a lot. if I slack on my walk angels I actually get some symptoms back lol. improving your posture but in a very relaxed way. Don’t force it too hard. Again not saying this is your issue but when I was going through it, never found anyone who had my issue. I wish you the best man 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽 I know what it feels like, wouldn’t wish it on my worst enemy.

    I use to get heart palpitations working at Home Depot back in 2014-2017, a very very stressful job where I was treated like crap. Went to the ER, and this big machine scanned my body to see if my heart is abnormally large, and luckily I was good to good. Safe to say I’ve never experienced those again after quitting that job.

      Damn bro!! 3 years is a lot of live with it. I wonder if you were the same as me. You would get stressed and tighten up which would pinch a nerve. I’m glad you are doing better bro!!

      @@EddieGS350bruh this hateful manager over me in the stocking department had me going up ladders 🪜 with those super large containers of paint, and other hardware liquids. That hard work started to wear on me, and her harassing me. It didn’t last the entire 3 years, but for maybe a year. Also to j was drinking a lot of Mountain Dew and other sodas lol, too much caffeine can make your heart race.

    not to make light of your situation, but how or why would you conclude that the car off all things was the issue, it doesnt make sense, and even if you where too big for the seats ,why would you have the bolsters widened or replace the seat or seats all together . seems like it be a lot cheaper than buying another car.

      Ahh naw man, it's a valid q. I did a crappy job explaining everything, I was in a rush to get the carne asada lol.
      - I thought it was the car because there was a small correlation between me driving and my chest pain. I didn't really believe it at first cause even my doctor said that can't be it.
      - I actually went to a Pick a part in Victorville once to look at some seats. The seats looked fine but the car was so badly wrecked, those seats must be compromised in some way. New seats from Lexus were going to be 12k. I didn't want to put 12k into a used car (looking back tho, this wouldn't have been a bad option lol)
      - In the end I decided to keep the car but when I got 8 heart palpatations in a row. I just stopped caring and traded in my IS the same day.
      - This was a mistake because it wasn't the car it was my left shoulder would always be lifted. The narrow seats in the IS made this worse but it wasn't the root cause. Knowing what I know now I think I could've kept the IS and be pain free if I knew to keep my damn shoulder down lol.

    Another banger from Eddie GS350. I used to work as a valet in a dealership so I got to drive many IS 350’s and I have to say they have a certain nimbleness/fun quality there that is hard to replicate in the GS. Although the GS is quite fun ultimately in its own way. If the IS was bigger I’d be owning one, but I guess I’m describing the GS 😂 the IS for me is indeed very small and no one could sit behind me in the back, so very coupe like almost.

    • @EddieGS350
      @EddieGS350  Місяць тому

      Yoo man. It kinda was the car being too small. When I would get stressed I would lift my shoulder and tighten up which would pinch my nerves. The small seats in the IS were not helping lol. Although I think now that I know the real cause of my issues. I might’ve been able to keep the IS.

    Glad you found what made you feel better. What do you think of the IS500? I want to replace my GS350 in about a year and was comparing the LC500, Audi RS3, RC-F, and IS500. Maybe an Integre Type S.

    Thank you for your story brother since the pandemic I have been struggling with the same symptoms that you have. It’s been for long 4 years were one of those years was a very dark time in my life where I would call my girlfriend at three in the morning waking up from my sleep with a panic attack, because my heart would start racing and I thought I was having a heart attack. I am trying to be healthier to get these symptoms under control because I am still feeling them from time to time, but now that you shared that you found out it was a pinched nerve, going to look further into getting that taken care of was there anything that you did for the pinched nerve to completely make it go away because even as I write this, my heart muscles are tense.

    • @EddieGS350
      @EddieGS350  8 місяців тому

      Ahh check out my other reply on a comment as well. Not medical advice or am I a medical professional but it is what worked for me. Make sure you aren't tensing any muscles. Like when I would be stressed from having the pain and heart palps, I'd tense up my chest, stomach or especially traps. So really try to relax the best that you can. 2nd is that it isn't like I would relax and my pain would disappear. The nerve would still be inflamed for sometimes days or close to a week. That's why I couldn't figure out the issue for so long, you have to really spend a couple of days relaxing/not tensing up to see some relief. Finally wall angels (look it up) help me a lot. Stretching would help here and there but sometimes it would make me worse. Relaxing everything as much as I can helped me the most. Hopefully this helps you out bro! Really hoping for the best.

    I’m planing on keeping my GS350 for over 10 years like I did with my previous vehicle that was 2003 BMW 530i that I sold last year.
    Great video and informative as well for someone dealing with similar health problems.
    Glad you are doing well Eddie 🙏
