PVC come out of no where
Good to know. These are all things that I know and have read over and over I just want to be certain there isn't anything wrong with me heart. Its also very reassuring to talk to people who have the same fear - it makes my anxiety seem like the problem and not a heart condition (does that make sense?)
Yes I do. I have done many heart test inclucing stress, EKG, Ultra Sound, Halter Monitor, etc., so far everything has shown that I get them but nothing wrong with the heart. I am now doing a 14 day monitor where when I feel PVC's or that something is not right I put this monitor against my chest and hit record and then send it to the monitoring center who sends it to my doctor. I am having PVC's even when not in panic mode, or what I consider to be anxiety mode such as when working out, walking, etc. I have a feeling the doctor is just going to tell me to live with them and that they are benign, or she could recommend Beta blockers which I do not really want to use unless I absolutely have to due to their side effects.
Anyway, I hear everyone has PVC's. However, at least for me, I can feel them.

<span class="ev_code_PURPLE">Hey, I know it has been awhile since this post. I have just finished going through my third round of heart testing. Finishing with a 30 day event monitor and stress echo. Only to find that everything is ok, but that I have alot of pvc's and increased heart rate. Due to constant anxiety of course! They put me on a beta blocker called pindilol which has little to no side effect on blood pressure. I have been on it for almost a month, no longer feel the pvc's which sometimes I would feel them so hard they would feel like a punch to the chest. My heart rate has slowed way down to a normal rate and rythem. I couldn't be happier with the results. Let me know how it all turned out, thanks, Kitten</span>
