Are you seeing a cardiologist only? If you are do you have the ability to get an appointment with a Electrophysiologist (EP). They specialize in electrical functions of the heart. They are eperts in dealing with PACs, PVCs, and electrical issues of your heart.

I would try to get an appointment with one it made a real difference in my treatments.

Also, has anyone address the worrying you are doing and the stress it causes. Have your cardiologist talked to you about the role of stress, worry, anxiety, has on compounding the problem with PACs, PVCs, irregular heart beasts, etc. If not asked them and advise you are really worry about them.

I asked to be referred to a electrophysiologist but my cardiologist just said that there is not anything different they would do for me. I am going to see my primary today so I will see if she has any suggestions and I will mention to her about a EP. I have been in anxiety medication for years now. They help, but it doesn’t stop the feeling of being sick all the time. They have made the panic attacks less and when I have an episode they are more manageable.

Hi
Well in stopping Bisoprolol a BB my pro-BNP went down from 189 to 1.3 on half and 79 on stopping it.
Some meds like BBs can push up the stress lovel of your heart.
Check it out, I say first to see of meds are causing the anxiety.
