PVC nightmare

Posted by kpryor1982 @kpryor1982, Jan 19 11:43pm

Hi, it’s me again. I’m sorry, but I’m just struggling really bad and this board is helping me. The PVCs have gotten worse and I had my worst day ever with him yesterday to the point I was having one every five seconds to 10 seconds and I just don’t understand. I took the potassium out of my morning meds this morning and started a multivitamin instead, and I kept the magnesium and for most of the day I thought they were gone minus a few here and there. But every night when it comes about 7 o’clock, they start coming and they keep coming and they keep coming and I just sometimes they feel different and they feel like my heart’s weaker or something. I don’t know how to explain it. I don’t get lightheaded. I don’t get dizzy. I don’t pass out and I know they’re benign because I’ve had every test you could possibly have with every specialist but I don’t wanna live this way. I can’t. It’s too hard. I’m scared to go do anything because I don’t want to ruin everybody else’s time by having a heart attack or going into a fib or something I’m 43. I don’t want to live the rest of my life like this.

@kpryor1982 well, I've been there too, had it seriously bad for one year and doctor after doctor just shrugged it off, and plenty bad enough for several more years, but I'll give the doctors this much - I survived, with apparently no lasting effects, afaik.

I was in the hospital for a few days for something else, and hooked to the monitor for a few hours, and the PVC and PAC lights are going off like a pinball machine, and the computer didn't care, and the nurses didn't care, and the doctors didn't care. Been on Holters and AI Holters and "Event Monitors", and the event monitor went off a few times but NOT from the PVCs and PACs, and the AI Holter reported "NOTHING" when I had hundreds of PVCs and PACs including some (or something else?) that left me almost unable to walk. "Nothing". SMH

@carbcounter it’s so hard. Hearing “you’re fine. Learn to live with it”. It’s debilitating for me. And my panic disorder makes it a million times worse.
