Actually this has been going on for the past week! And I'm angry..lol..well..kind of
My heart was "fine" for the past few weeks, it was as good as gets..lol..I was dealing with it..
Then last Monday...it started giving me problems again, like the breathing in to deeply causing me to have pausing...the lifting weights bringing on PVC's...riding the recumbant bike..bending over, laying on my left side...I don't get it?! I was doing okay...
Now tonight as I was lying here in bed, on my laptop, playing my stupid FaceBook games, I get this looong palp...felt like a bunch of skipped beats at once, scary I tell Mark, he says, how many cardio's have you seen? 4 and 1 electrophysiologist...and what did they say? That your heart was perfectly normal? They are the best in Kansas and why would they lie to you??
It sounds good but when I'm just coming out of a set of palps...how is that suppose to be reassurring? No, I didn't die but I swear when the palps last "forever" like that, I do not think it's going to go back into a sinus rhythm again...and worse part is...my heart will sometimes throw in another scary set of palps for good measure! Like ones not enough?? It's happened 3 or 4 times now tonight...yeah, I'm kind anxious and scared...what I hate worse then anything, I can sometimes feel my heart going into palps BEFORE it happens...I hate being scared
And I did start school again...and I did panic just thinking about going...my palps started back up shortly after...I hate school!!

Sorry you have had a bad week. I have been having a lot lately too. Hope it gets better for you soon!

Thank you Anita! I even went to sleep with the pausing! It's like every few beats there was a pause...all night long?? And this is okay? This is normal? When I woke up this morning after having a long exhausting night because I couldn't relax..I woke up feeling okay but then remembered my palps and started having a anxiety attack! I hate waking up like that...

jsuter69....I have been struggling with the pauses as well. I finally gave in and tried taking a half dose of beta blocker two nights ago...took it again last night, I didn't notice any kind of relief from it. I have them all day pretty much and mine tend to get much worse after I eat and when I'm laying flat on my back. I see you are from Newton...I am from Wichita! I also have seen two cardiologists down here in Wichita and they have both told me that I'm fine and that these things cannot wear my heart out and that I can't have too many....but still, when I have them they drive me crazy!! They have kind of paralyzed me if you know what I mean! I just keep thinking to myself, I am 36, am I going to be dealing with these things forever??? It sucks!!! I have been told I have PACs....haven't been told about any PVC's yet.

Hope they get better and I hope you have a good day!!!

GrantN- Wonder if we "shared" any of the same doctors..lol!
I can wake up feeling fine, then I can be in the kitchen making breakfast, not really thinking about anything....then BOOM, I get a pause! That's how I usually know what kind of day it's going to be...and yes, after last night, I had to coax myself out of bed...convince myself that I was fine and go get something to eat..and of course it happened!! Now here I am, back in bed...my docs swear my heart is "beautiful", "perfectly normal", "awesome"...lol..the list goes on...it feels crippling sometimes...I have class tonight but I'm afraid to go...sounds silly huh? But I am...and most of my pauses happen when I breathe in to deeply...that's ONE reason I'm afraid to exercise! Afraid to breathe!! Sometimes the pausing lasts sooo long, I just know that it's going to be the "end" of me...lol...I text my boyfriend from school when it starts happening and I tell him that "his baby is dying" "her hearts going out on her"...he responds by sayin..."your fine"..."no,you're not" then finally "ok, I'll see you after class"...lol...so much for sympathy...lol
That's awesome that you found some relief, I'm to afraid to take anything...I'm a big wuss!!

[jsuter69]

Oh yeah, I'm older then you...lol..I'm 40!! Maybe it's old age?? J/k...this has been happening since I was around 13yrs old..just gotten progressively worse the older I get

Hey girl! I had a bad day last week too. I'm okay with the few flutters that I feel throughout the day every day. But when they are continuous all day every few beats it makes me crazy. Yours are stress related. No doubt about it. You started school. Mine would act up too. The thought of going out, sitting in class, worrying if they are going to start up......having to run out of there..agh....and that is enough to aggravate them. Hang in there baby...you are fine.

[jsuter69]

JODIE!!!! Hey! I've missed you! You really think mine are "just" stress related? I sat in class tonight and kept praying that I wouldn't have an episode...I almost got through w/ class...almost! I had a reminder palp...PVC or PAC...lol...just enough to let me know "hey! We are still here!" So I got out of class, went home and started working on some homework...I got a scary one...the kind that I can't even tell whats happening...I'm now in bed...hoping that I can at least fall alseep w/o worrying

[jkfrench]

Yes, Jules...this is stress.
And if you are like me and can't get a grip, it is going to continue....so, relax and don't worry because you have been checked out and are fine. These are "head games" we play with our bodies. Once you settle into your routine, they will probably go away. Remember when you were having so many bad ones when you were working at that hospital? You were stressed working there and this is how your body reacts. Also, get some sleep!!

Hugs!!
