Palpi-tation!

I work with some dangerous stuff. A co-worker and I were talking about bathing in acetone day in and day out. He was describing symptoms that i found very familiar. He was saying it affected his heart rate. That is something you don't want to mess with.

I have been experiencing the feeling of "dropping" as if going over a hill on a roller coaster. It is fainting kind of feeling that comes but stops before going unconscious.

Men who have worked at this job have now developed some serious health problems. I'm not sure how much of the talk is workplace urban legend, like severed fingers, fatal falls, nosebleeds, and cancer. But something tells me not to look too lightly on it. Heart palpitations are bad, especially if it gets stuck mid-"palp". Here's hoping they are always quickly followed by hearty (no pun intended) "itations".
