Maxx, I have been getting LOTS of them recently also. I HATE it. I was at the gym the other day and all of a sudden my heart just started doing flip flops like crazy and I left. I think i was overly...
Gismatrix, I completely understand where your coming from! I wish there was a simple "cure" for PVC's but nothing really seems to trigger mine. I agree about the gastro stuff, I feel more PVCs when...
Hi Jules! Ive had 2 ablations, i wish you the best of luck. YAY, no more V tach!! That's wonderful. What's bigeminy?? Is it PVC's every 2nd beat? Is that dangerous? Good luck!...
Their are deadly arrythmias but it depends on what she has..... Many arrythmias are NOT life threatening....
Oh and by the way, your doctor said "later in life you could have bad effects?" Thats not a very scientific or NICE and empathetic comment. I may think about switching docs if I were u. My...
I had WPW until I had it ablated in 1996. Mine was pretty bad, I ended up in the ER A LOT growing up, especially in adolescence. Having an ablation was the best thing I have ever done. Afterwards, I...
Hey Maxx- My cardio had collaborated with this particular EP about my case previously. Perhaps this is why she referred, plus there was nothing else she could do for me at that point. WPW is Wolff...
Maxx, Ihave been to several psychiatrists and all they want to do is load me up with meds that make me feel like zombie. You REALLY have to do research and find a GREAT therapist... but if your...
Mine referred me because a) I was driving her nuts B) I ended up in the ER twice in one day (but nothing really showed up except sinus tach) and C) I had a previous heart conditon (WPW) that I had...
Hope- My Doctors told me the EXACT same thing!! So what do we do?...
I get the same reaction "your heart is structurally normal, so your pvcs are benign". Its very frustrationg. I also get very shaky after a bout of palps, and also VERY cold. I bet that has something...
Maxx- I don't know if low blood sugar can cause palpitations... but it makes sense that it can. Do you have a cardiologist or electrophysiologist? Have you ever fainted or felt like you were going to...
Hey Hopes! Thats odd that the episodes only last 30 seconds.. I get the intense pounding too sometimes, FINALLY I captured the rhythm and it was only sinus tachycardia. If you have already had all of...
Maxx, Yes, they are much worse around the time of my period. IN fact, when they are really bad, I always get my period the next few days. I wonder why that is..... I have been getting a lot of them...
Rocky, Do you also get migraines? I get migraines and I get lots of PVC;s on days I have a bad one. I think it has something to do with the cortisol and adrenaline release. Thats weird that caffeine...
Maxx, Is Lorazepam Xanax?? That's what I take when I get lots of PVC's ... If i don;t, then I end up getting a panic attack because I think my heart is going to stop beating or something. WHen you...
I am so sick of getting PVC;s at nighttime. They are really scaring me. I have had a work up earlier this year (echo, stress test, ekgs, bloodwork, event monitor) and everything was normal. I always...
my PVC's a lot lately. I feel like the cardiologist missed something, and that one day, my heart is going to go into a dangerous rhythmn --- I especially wory about[b] this when I have the long runs...
Hello All! I also had Wolff Parkinson White Syndrome, I had 2 ablation done in 1996. The second one was successful, and so no more galloping heart beat anymore. However, I suffer severly from PVC's....
Hey! Your post sounds exactly like what I have been suffering from for the past several months. Last night, my heart was skipping around and jumping so badly that I was afraid to go to sleep . It...
Is it good to eat them because of the Magnesium? My EP told me to start taking Mg Oxide supplements after I was complaining of getting lots of PVCs and PACs at bedtime....
I get them all the time too. IT seems like they are worse when I lay flat like before i get to sleep. Does that happen to you ? Ive also had full work ups from cardiologists, and all normal. I used...
David- Thank you for your response! I will let you know how the doc goes tomorrow. I hope that he's good and calms me down about this , once and for all. I have taken Inderal before, so if he wants...
I feel like i have totally exhausted my cardiologist and GP docs.....Like they don't know what else to do! Im wondering if my hormone levels could be making my palps worse. I know that around my...
Hey everyone! I am SO frustrated with doctors today. I went BACK to the ER again last night for the palps . They gave me 2 xanax... and did ekg- it showed no extra beats or anything even though i was...
Thank you all so much for your insight and support. They got really bad this morning, and my heart was racing a lot too. Its so scary. My cardiologist wants me to to see an electrophysiologist and...
Hey guys- Every time I try and lay down to go to sleep tonight, I keep getting bad, scary palpitations. Im scared. Do you think I should go to the ER or just see if they go away?...
Hey guys! I was wondering if other than the fact that PAC's are initiated in the upper chambers and PVCs in the ventricles, are there any other major differences? Is one more dangerous than the...
thank you so much for your responses!! Last night I definitely could feel some more extra beats when I was reading before bed (and more in tune with my body!!) I notice a lot of weird beats around my...
Sorry! I wanted to ask, what exactly is SVT? and does it usually stop on its own? I am scared I am having short episodes of SVT, but they always stop before I can get to the ER so I cant be sure....
Hi! I had a strange sensation when I was walking into the grocery store this morning. My heart felt like it was "fluttering" and I got dizzy for about ten seconds. I was just wondering if anyone knew...
Hi ! I am a new member, but I completely understand what you are talking about . Whenever I have one of my "episodes" , I focus on my heart . The more you think its "not beating right" , the more its...
Hi, I recently joined the forum to try and get some help in dealing with my anxiety and fear of having a heart problem. I posted on the anxiety/panic forum, but I wanted to also post something here...
