Heart Rhythm Conditions – Welcome to the group
Welcome to the Heart Rhythm Conditions group on Mayo Clinic Connect.
Did you know that the average heart beats 100,000 times a day? Millions of people live with heart rhythm problems (heart arrhythmias) which occur when the electrical impulses that coordinate heartbeats don't work properly. Let's connect with each other; we can share stories and learn about coping with the challenges, and living well with abnormal heart rhythms. I invite you to follow the group. Simply click the +FOLLOW icon on the group landing page.
I'm Kanaaz (@kanaazpereira), and I'm the moderator of this group. When you post to this group, chances are you'll also be greeted by volunteer patient Mentors and fellow members. Learn more about Moderators and Mentors on Connect.
Let's chat. Why not start by introducing yourself?

Yes, I get out of breath, especially when I first wake up in the morning. I will have results from my two-week monitor soon. I am a little scared. I tried a yoga exercise yesterday, (standing position, arms up) and I passed out/fainted and fell.
When I first wake up in the morning with PVCs/palps, even before I get out of bed, I have huge adrenalin rushes going through my entire body. Very uncomfortable.
Hello. I am Karen, age 68, diagnosed with A-fib about four years ago and just started having PVCs in the last month or two. I have commented on other threads but not this one. I have a holter monitor until tomorrow and then will get results in a week or so. I am a little scared because I seem to be having PVCs all he time now whereas I only have A-fib a couple of times a week. The PVCs make me feel very weak, out of breath, and generally uncomfortable with adrenalin rushes, dizziness, sometimes slight nausea. I passed out for a second and fell doing yoga yesterday. I am also underdoing cancer treatment (lucky me) which might be adding to my discomfort.
Hi, I think you should contact your doctor concerning your passing out especially if this is something new that is going on. I really hope you do that. Iam 72 and have had PVC's since my 20's. I noe have SVT. I really hate the PVC's. They bring on anxiety and discomfort. It sounds like you have a lot on your plate right now. Please call a doctor.
Please see a doctor about the blackouts.
Thank You. I have an appointment with my oncologist this week and cardiologist next week.
I am enfermo and I have lived with PVCs for more than 20 years.
I have had them a long time as well. Completely bothersome.
Welcome to Connect, @enfermo. Would you be able to share some more information, or perhaps some insight as to how you've managed and coped with PVCs for such a long time? Do you take medications to control them; are there any triggers you've learned to be aware of?

1 ReactionHi. I am Barbara. Happy to have found your site. It has helped me to understand what is going on with me. I started having PVC’s 2 years ago following radiation for breast cancer. It has accelerated the last 8 mos. I am an RN but found there is not much info out there. And, providers have not enlightened me much! I was taken off beta blockers and put on ARD’s which make me feel worse. I am now in the process of getting a second opinion and wearing a holster monitor for a month. I have not had to go to the ER since mid January. I do not view myself as a stressed person but I do have autoimmune issues. Thank you for this group. I am understanding more.
