Premature atrial contractions: Anyone have any helpful info on this?

What are the facts that n this did you read it somewhere?

There were no details. I was just reading on a website about causes of PACs and one item listed was screen time with no real explanation. So I'm just wondering if anyone else has heard this, because in all the years and volumes of reading I've done on the subject I've never heard this. I guess I should Google it further. Don't remember the website

Thanks! I was just curious I’ve never seen that and couldn’t find anything on google😊

I still have mine😩I’m getting a calcium scan my cardiologist wants to rule out heart disease, I’m scared about it.

How are you doing?

Oops disregard this last comment😂

@scardycat Hi Did you mean me ?I'm doing fine but need to get a new Tens Unit mines not working anymore of course it is 10 yrs old but need it for my back I never had a calcium screen so can't comment on this

Happy to hear you are doing better😊

Not replying to anyone here now. Simply checking in, it's bee awhile. I've been doing pretty good myself and hope everyone else is. The fact that I have been symptom free since the holidays, actually has me nervous. Too much of a good thing? I hope Scarlett got the help she needed, and is doing ok. I see she never checked back. I myself have thrown caution to the wind, and at 70 have decided to do something I have wanted to do for years. I'm making a move across the pond, to Germany. Finally had my Health Insurance approved over there. So figured there are no more obstacles, other than being an old fart. Don't know how much longer I have left, so might as well do something I have always wanted to do. Oh yes, I do have something to reply. I have also read about too much screen time bringing on attacks, but I was given a reason. Spending too much time looking up all this stuff, just adds to our anxiety about it. I know for certain, that anxiety brings this on for me. I'm surprised I'm not having problems now, and don't wish to bring it on myself thinking about it. Perhaps it's because I am happy about making a big decision.

Fear can be so debilitating. When I was having episodes of A-fib, I lived in fear for 5 years. Didn't let my wife out of my sight. A catheter ablation cured my A-fib, but the old fear comes back when I have too many PACs/PVCs, because it feels too much like A-fib. I think it's a fearful thing because it is, after all, your heart. I think you can ask your doctor about a catheter ablation if 20% of your heartbeats are PACs. It helps to know that PACs are largely benign. I get relief from fear largely through spiritual means.
