Newbie Here!

Hi, I just found this site by googling PVC's. After checking it out I decided to join. Wish I had know this site existed a few years ago when I started getting these things. It's nice to know I'm not the only one having PVC's. Even though I have had them a couple of years, it still scares the crap out of me. Hope to learn alot from the forums.

Welcome, and glad to have you aboard! You will not be scared here, as everybody has PVCs, and even though we have had extensive medical tests, it scares the crap out of us as well. You will get friendship and reassurance here. PVCs are not significant in people without heart abnormalities. So, be prepared to be reassured.

Thanks for the reply and the welcome. I am actually having them today which prompted me to google. I was doing good for a while, I actually had months where I did not have them but they decided to come back today and kind of harshly.

DON"T, google..lolol. There are a lot of terrible message boards, with scare information that is highly inaccurate. People who have never had medical tests, or are just plain uninformed post there, and it is mass hysteria! Here, you will get the exact opposite--calm, reassuring information from people who have gotten PROFESSIONAL information. I used to google all the time and scare myself silly.

While I was writing my reply to you, I had a long bout of every 6th beat skipped for about 2 hours. Just as quickly as it started, it went away. Go figure?
