Dear lord...what am I griping about. I can imagine how scary that all is. I do not want these to progress but they have gotten worse over the years. I get them more often and in a row. I had a Zio heart monitor on in June and the doctor told me I'm at less than 1%. It doesn't feel like that to me. Then I start imagining if the heart monitor was accurate. I'm my own worse enemy. Because I have these thoughts/doubts I'm wondering if an anti depressant will help. I'm rooting for you Jeff!! You responding to me as you go through what you're going through shows me that I'm actually pretty lucky and need to stop being a cry baby.

I had bigeminy first when I was 40, for an entire year. I thought I would lose my mind. I have had PVCs all my life and worse the older I am. They can precipitate panic attacks in me. I have also nearly passed out when there is a long interval before the next beat. It is terrifying to live with, even if mostly benign. What it does to your life is anything but benign.

To start I hope you are feeling better. I have been dealing with PVCs PACs since my early 20s. I’m in my late 40s now. For years I seem to have a few hundred a day now I seem to have thousands. Earlier today for about 30 minutes it was about one every other beat. I drove myself to the emergency room, but they started to subside on my way there, so I sat in the parking lot And then drove back home. Do yours tend to flare up at times meeting some days they almost seemed tolerable, but never gone away completely and other days just seem very out of control. This is scaring the crap out of me definitely bringing on more anxiety and with it potentially a vicious cycle of The skipped beats reading a lot of posts I do see there’s a lot of assault there that fight with this daily really wish there is some cure. Let us know how you’re doing thoughts and prayers.

I have the utmost sympathy. I've legit spent the last 6 months thinking I was going to die just to find out it was severe gas and bloating. So, not saying your problem is the same, but try fasting for a day and really pay attention to your symptoms. Gastric problems apparently can cause very frequent PVCs bc it irritates the vagus nerve, then since the PVCs start, it stresses you out and causes anxiety... then the stress hormone is pushed into your system and makes everything worse. I recently stumbled across Roemhelds Syndrome and I'm scheduled to wear a holter monitor (again, for the upteenth time) just to prove it is 100% connected to eating/food. Me, specifically, I believe it is lactose intolerance. I don't know how I've come this far in life without knowing but it just got progressively worse with each year.
