Hi Stingray, I suffered from PVCs and it would scare the heck out of me. I didn't believe anything the heart doctors said about it being safe and nothing to worry about. My GP prescribed me zoloft...
Hi Socal4d9d Thank you for your concern. Since my last post I have continued with the thyroid medicine and zoloft. I also take ativan when needed through out the day when I feel like I am about to...
Got back from seeing my cardiologist today. He went over the results from the holter monitor. Over a 24 hr period I threw 159 PVCs with 136,000 beats. He of course was not concerned with the PVCs as...
Friday was a horrible day. I thought things were under control. I made it until 2:30 then I freaked out. Flutters were bothering me so bad. I really thought I was having a mental breakdown. I held it...
Well finally got through to the nurse to find out results on holter monitor. I was not happy. She said Dr said everything looked ok except where I pushed event and showed a rapid heart beat. Nurse...
One thing I forgot to mention. My throat feels thick. Feels like it is swollen, but of course it does not hurt. When I bend my head forward and try to swallow, it is almost impossible. Don't know if...
Well I was hoping that by now I would have talked to the nurse. While I am waiting I am having the flutters and pulse is slow, then speeds up, then slows down. I am really scared....

Hi MontanaMauiGirl, PVCs are so scary and so hard to believe that everything is normal with your heart. The Drs try to assure you that everything is ok. How can it be ok when you feel your pulse in...
What you may have is pvc. Caridiologist will tell you they are nothing serious, just a skipped beat, or pre-beat. I know that they can play hell with anxiety. I have been dealing with them only a...
If it was abnormal, I would definetly see a specialist....
Here it is Monday, and still feel the same. Woke up feeling good, showered and felt great. Now at work and I feel awful. I am thinking of taking a ativant to see if that will help. I feel very light...
Kitt, My thyroid showed to be on the low side of the scale but not below. I was on thyroid medicine but my new doctor took me off because I was not under the scale. Also I was having some flutters...
Rxclusion, You are so right my friend. It is causing me so much grief. It is so hard to function. Yesterday I had a meltdown. I tried to convince myself that I was not dying. I believe I had a panic...
Thank you so very much. How does the Doctor expect someone to live with this flutter, skipped beat. Everytime it happens I feel like I am dying just a little more. I feel like I am waiting for it to...
Thank you Kitt. I really need a lot of support right now. My cardiologist didn't tell me what to do about the flutters. When I seen him tuesday he just tried to educate me on the beats. He said what...
