I can really empathize! Every little pain, every new nook and cranny causes a quick acceleration in the heartbeat, for sure. I tried to get in to see the doc four times when my mouth hurt so bad I couldn't breathe and every time it was cleared up when I went to see the doc. It turned out to be one of the many faces of thrush and is a bugger to get under control.
