I started having PVCs when I sat down to eat. I have been feeling them with several in a row like pause beat pause beat etc -in clusters for 4 or 5 every few minutes. Is this ok?!?! I'm so scared. Packed my stuff up to go to urgent care but they close in 30 min!! Not sure what to do! I'm so scared! I hate this -it's just not fair!!!

[Cheers]

I want to say you are fine, as I am sure you are. But I am in no place to reassure someone today. Please just let me give you a big ole HUG!!!

I get that all the time, and have had it for years. Don't waste your time going to urgent care--they will just say PVCs, and send you home.

Thanks! Funny I was reading your post and then wham it hit me! I'm in tears now and just so figgin frustrated! I feel like I'm being punished or something! I just want to be "normal" and no deal with this crap. I hate living in fear! It sucks to wonder if you need Rush to the ER and I'm sure I stressed my kids out panicking and telling them to Get dressed! Lol it has seemed to stop now and I'm sure it's all hormone related. My thyroid checked out ok although mildly hyper (I've been in remission from Graves Disease that robbed me of 4 years of my life) and now this. I just DONE with all the health BS!! Thanks for responding! I needed someone to hear! Lol

David - is it bigenemy or couplets I'm feeling? I feel beat beat beat- then pause beat pause beat pause beat then beat beat beat etc...

I don't know what all the SVT and NSVT things are. I don't have racing heart beats just the PVCs

I've been there. When I called my cardio when it was happening, he said they are just PVCs and you will be fine. They will settle down when you settle down.
It is horrible but you are probably having (as I already said) a delayed reaction to all the stress you were having over your thyroid. Can you take a Xanax?

That is trigeminy. I have had that for HOURS upon hours and for weeks at a time. It was deemed completely benign, and I try and live with it--does it freak me out at times? Of course. That is why I have an excellent therapist, who really cares and a family doctor who believes in using psychotropic medications.

Ok sorry to be dumb but are those regular beats in between? I am not having 3-4 PVCs in a row right? Or am I? Sometimes its more than 3

JFK- yes I'm sure it is! ThAt plus my daughter has been fighting a cold and I worry and she has had some issues with schools no friends and moodiness etc. add is the crazy schedule of things going on and hormones with the time of the month about to happen any day and I'm sure it is related! Just sucks when it happens because I just don't when it's ok or not!!! Its that what do I do feeling???
