We all have pvcs here - and all have been told they are benign. I hate them and they scare the crap out of me, but I'm still here and I can see a huge stress correlation.

I think it's weird hat one dr said you afib and the other said no. How long did you ease monitor. I would ask to see the strip where they caught afib knthe monitor. It is extremely different and look different than pvcs. It appears as a quivering heart beat and pvcs are just an extra spike as it's an extra beat.

I find it hard to believe myself but as I've been tod a zillion times - pvcs will not kill you. But we ll struggle with that

So very very sorry you are feeling this way but we are all here for you, we will help you get through this. My cardio once told me that "sometimes abnormal is just normal for us." and I guess it is but it sucks! Seriously, talk to your cardio, you need to tell them not only the amount you are having but what it is doing to you. You need more options. They are NOT to push you under the rug. Don't let them do it!

I know it's impossible to remember this, but you are going to fine and you will get through it all. It may take time, different treatments to see what will work, but there has to be something that will. And we will help you find it xoxox

I'm so sorry your going through this, go to urgent care and see if they can calm your heart down with some electrolytes. We are here if you need us and I'll keep you in my thoughts today.

I am so sorry u are going through this and if I could...I would take this away from each one of us...I know exactly how u are feeling...the fear and the anxiety is horrible and it is no way to live...it crippled me because I allowed it to...but I will tell u this...when I am feeling this way...the last thing I want to hear is someone telling me to ignore it and go on...I just want to smack them in the face...lol Unless u are feeling it...u have NO idea what it is like...u are in my thoughts and prayers and I am here if u ever need to talk...God Bless U and I hope u get some relief soon...

Hang in there Jampot. You've been dealing with these for a while now and you're still here with us. I KNOW how scary and frustrating all of this can be...and I can't imagine living with these the way they are either...and yet that's exactly what we'll do you and I...we'll get through it.

Betas never worked well for me...I still had PVCs and I was still worried to death with em'. Panic attacks controlled my days...either having one or from fearing the next one. I didn't leave home for a year except to go to the Dr. What finally gave me some relief was the Xanax and Klonopin type benzo drugs. Once I found a dosage and a schedule that worked, I slowly started to recover my life and my sanity. Right now I take 1 0.5mg Xanax XR (extended release) and it has made all the difference.

I used to have a problen accepting that I'd need drugs and/or therapy just to cope with these things...why me?! Now I just accept that I'll do whatever it is that helps me through. These forums help me...looking around and finding that there are so many much worse off than me helps...taking my father in law for chemo treatments and seeing hundreds of people with cancer, many of them dying a slow and horrible death...this too help in a strange way.

I pray a lot and I count my blessngs a lot. I'll be praying for you today that you find the strength and resolve that you need. You'll be ok Jampot. Thanks for sharing your fellings and hard times here with us...please know that we all know exactly what you are going through and we fully understand.

Hey Susie,
I'm sorry to hear you're having such a hard time with your heart, and anxiety... Hopefully since this post you're doing better!

I'm not going to lie and say that when my heart starts skipping really badly it doesn't bother me, because sometimes it does.
But I can always talk myself out of them...
Just think of the skips as your heart just beating faster for a few seconds.. Because that's all it really is! It sounds better than thinking that your heart is skipping.

My Mother just had an EKG does recently and she discovered that she had a small heart attack... It didn't bother her in the least! She was so calm about it all... All she said was, "I never felt it." and then she laughed afterwards... It upset me more than her! But the point is, is she is perfectly fine...
I think I've gotten to the point where I feel that if something is going to happen it's going to happen regardless of how nervous and anxious I make myself feel... I try to just live every day the best I can, spending time with my kids, and my family.. And trying to to even think about my heart.
I think God has a plan for all of us, so we should just be thankful and happy for the time that we do have with our loved ones.
And for goodness sake, EAT! And drink! If I don't drink at least 8 glasses of water a day my heart messes up soooooo much more! You need water, and food! My heart races after I eat every time, but I still eat... Okay, well maybe I like food a little too much... But still! E-mail me if you need to talk about anything, ok?
<3

So sorry! What did they say in ER?
