Angry Old problems returning, very upset.

Well, I was doing so well with not having any skips and I was starting to not be afraid of the ones I did feel. Well, tonight, I had some scary episodes, and I am almost in tears again. Let me tell you how this happened.

I have a dear boyfriend in New Zealand, and we are getting closer and closer, in fact, he is starting to talk about marriage, which I am all in favor of, we have so much in common. Anyway, we were talking tonight, via a web-cam face to face, we do that alot. I felt a weird flutter and then a long pause, then another flutter. It scared the be-jeepers out of me. I got real hot and burning in my face during and after, this added to my fear. I tried to keep talking and ignore it, but, it seemed like the more I ignored it, the more I thought I could feel other skips starting, which I didn't, just one or two in my throat or tummy. Well, I did not hang up, but, wanted to, I was so scared, but, he did not know it, he would have been concerned if he had as I have told him about these, he is very sympathetic. We talked about 2 hours about all kinds of things, I did OK, but, I must admit, I could sort of feel those "skips" trying to start. I hate this.

It seems to me, the ones I am feeling now are worse then the ones I had when wearing the monitor, I wish I still had it, I bet now, it would show something. I am scared and want to cry again.

Could some of the skips be due to extra adrenalin due to excitement over talking to him and talking about marriage? Should I run to the ER? I will see my doctor this Tuesday regarding the 7 day monitor results.

I am so upset, I was starting to feel so much better, now, I feel like I am going backwards and getting worse again. I really though that my mag glycinate, taurine and arginine had wiped it, now, I am not too sure.

Damn, now what.

Hugs
Susie

well being scared of the skips is what caused your face to start getting hot, and yes talk about marriage and stuff and really excite your adrenal glands, you are going to get better this is just a minor set back, so dont be worried, talk to your doc on tuesday and feel better.

PVCs are always an up and down battle. They go away,they come back, they go away, etc. That is the way it always is. I think the best advice I can give is not to freak out when they return--they have their episodes, depending on what is going on in your emotional and physical life. It is not serious and you have had all the tests to tell you that. No reason to worry!!

You are both probably right, and, another thing I did not mention. While talking to him last night, I got upset because he said he had a next door neighbor that wanted to go with him, and she came over all the time. In fact, when we were talking, she came over and I could tell someone was there because his whole attitude changed. He said he did not want her to hear him talking to me because he did not want to hurt her feelings. He said he told her about me, but she still was going to try to get him to go out with her. He said she was not a Christian, and not pretty like myself, so, he had no interest in going out with her. Anyway, it was after I heard that, my flutters started and they lasted the entire time even after we hung up.

I guess I am too sensitive, I have had so many guys not want anyone else to know about me, it hurts, and I get so tired of them not wanting to "hurt" the other person, well, excuse me, but, what about me?

Anyway, now that I think about it, I think it was what he said about her and such that triggered the damn things.

Oh dear, sorry for the rant.

Hugs
Susie

Susie- that must be stressful. I would be upfront and honest with this guy about the other girl, otherwise he might be playing you both. I'm sure all the emotions of talking to him took their toll. I know when my adrenaline gets going and I'm not active that's when my palps act up. When u start feeling like that get up and move around to burn off some of that adrenaline and energy.
