Richard, great post outlining some valid points that I know most of us here will
echo . I'm 35 and struggled with ectopics now for 5 years or so (a fellow UK man by the way, and to add to that this is the best site I have found and has helped reasure me) . My Grandfather suffered ectopic beats for 40 to 50 years living to the ripe old age of 94 and sadly passing away due to complications following a fall and broken hip . His heart was strong to the end which should go someway to give us some faith . However in the cold light of day when the beats are at there worst nothing seems to win the mental battle that we all face . At times like that I find that chatting to other like suffers on this site helps remove the burden and possitivly reinforce the BEGNIN message.
