I had known tick bite in 2000. Treated about 6-8 weeks later with Doxycycline due to severe joint psin and hx of bite. Fine until 2008. Sudden onset of PVCs. Heart skipped around every third beat. As I felt it my anxiety increased. I had every cardiac test done and no blockage. I was told they were "beautiful, textbook PVCs." Started on Toprol XL. Was on 100 mg a day and I weigh about 100#. It made me so tired, gained weight and my feet and hands were always freezing. I weaned myself down to 25 mg. I just started treatment for + Lymes last week. I still have to take one on occasion when they get crazy. Drink lots of water and make sure you are getting enough Magnesium. My doctor told me they love to feed off of magnesium. It did help with the anxiety because the more I felt it the more anxious I got. Hope this helps!
