Hi, and just returning to update my post....I went to the Cardiologist yesterday and he read my EKG and the Med update from another Cardiologist at Walter Reed Bethesda who I saw on July 2nd and explained to me that the PVCs and PACs that I’m feeling are benign....interesting to note that, both Cardiologists (while not dismissing entirely) the High Sensitivity Troponin test done in the ER which was slightly elevated on the first lab, then went down an hour later on the second lab, did not hold much credence in that test..in a slightly elevated number..something about a flatline, or baseline..? But my ECG showed normal sinus rhythm with incomplete right bundle branch block....he told me (in lay terms) that I was doing ok, stay on my meds, try not to get stressed over the cadence that the Ectopics engender...I asked again about the Vagus Nerve, REFLUX, belching, bloating Ectopic connection, and he actually did say that they have made a connection with acid indigestion and the Ectopics, because of the proximity of the esophagus and the chamber of the heart...can sometimes cause these Ectopics when irritated....anyway, I’m grateful for your input originally and thought I would get back here and report my visit to this discussion group. So between your supportive reply and combined with the July 2nd visit, I feel somewhat comforted even when I still get these uncomfortable things.....
