I guess I was referring to long qt as an example of weird electrical things that go haywire in the heart, but it's good to know about it. I've assumed, since I've had numerous EKGs, that I've been ruled out as having it.
I am so full of questions though, I've got one more. Do any of you guys experience PVCs during your recovery from exercise? I have an extremely measly amount of PVCs compared to you guys in a days time, but I hear that the ones that come during recovery from exercise are more prognostic.
Thanks again.

Well, they indicate a potential problem when that's the ONLY time you have them. That's what the Cleveland Clinic study (that I think you're referring to) concluded, and it was when PVCs were greater than 6 per minute during that phase.

And I'm glad you aren't worrying about long qt. I read your post and thought you were selling yourself on the idea that you had it, when really, it's pretty uncommon.

Haha, yeah, I try not to be a hypochondriac, but with my extensive medical history it can be a challenge to keep it in check. I've been doing fairly well with the crazy beats lately though. I just decided to get back into my jump roping routine today, as I'm tired of these ectopic beats weighing down on my quality of life. Eventually you get to a point where you've read all you can read
I really appreciate all of your knowledge. This is a great website, that helps, and is going to help a lot of people.
Cheers!

Can you tell me a bit more about that?
I especially have skipped beats just after some form of exercise or tension. I rarely have them when I am at rest but it happens too.
