could not be felt on the left side) became irregular, and numbered 200 per minute (soon
after 8 o’clock, morning after triturating). ► *Palpitation,
noticed on leaning against the back (second day). ►
Sensation as if the heart had stopped still; no perception of the beating of the heart;
after 1 P.M. (second day). ► The beat of the heart became
regular toward noon; pulse, felt in the temples and at radial artery, 200 (pulse usually
76). ► Back. ►
In the “solar plexus” a pressure (usually felt only after eating tough meat or
hard nuts, of which I had not now partaken) extended toward the back, where it changed to a
pinching sensation; spine painfully sensitive to touch at this point (second day).
