homemaker is on a distinguished road
Yup...I have some weeks where I have PVC"S (or what I think are PVC's) and some weeks I don't. I lived with them for 3 years...My MD at the time passed them off as normal without any testing other than one ECG. My friend that is a nurse suggested I get a new MD...I am so glad I did..The practice that he was in was an assembly line..one patient after another and sort of a band aid type of practice....My new MD is an Osteopath and is much more open minded...In the end I know I will trust her judgment. I felt it was important to do further testing because I have other risk factors such as difficult to control high blood pressure, an enlarged heart on x-ray, recent tachycardia events with dizziness upon standing, grey outs and a heart murmur...all of which have never been addressed nor diagnosed or investigated...So I have been sitting on this anxiety for a long time now...It has not controlled my life, but it was not until I got my monitor that I realized how down deep I have been very scared about this all....thanks for all of you for being here...
