Anyone had this?

A wits end. Getting Single, Double, Triple to what feels like Ectopic Beats, gets worse when I sit or prop myself up. Lots of wind, has flicked me into AF twice earlier in the week. Feels like my tummy is pushing on my heart or vise versa. What doesn't help is i have a paralysed diaphragm too so my lungs and heart slope a little to the left. Haven't had a proper sleep in days. You can really feel it thumping in the soft part of the abdomen just in the rib cage. Have some relief when I lie on my right side and relax my belly and let if slope away from my heart to the right, like I'm in the recovery position. My main thoughts are

4 weeks after my 2nd Vaccine Pfizer - Myocarditis?

Flec 100 2 x day has stopped working effectively

Tummy being filled with wind and pushing on my Ventricles causing chaos

Anyone had this madness?

That's complicated and sounds very uncomfortable. One side of the diaphragm paralysed I'm guessing? Do you think the disturbance is with your phrenic nerve? I think if it were me I'd be heading to my GP for a check up and taking it from there, especially if you have an abdomen that feels bloated and tight. Fingers crossed for you.

I definitely feel your discomfort and the lack of sleep I bet is not making it any easier. All I can say for comfort is that I have had single, double or triple runs of ectopics pretty much every day for the last 18 months or so and the one thing that helps keep me grounded is the fact that, the intensity of the ectopics, do seem to wax and wane. Though they will challenge you they will recede. If they do not then certainly a check in with your health care team would be prudent. Perhaps increasing flec to max dosage could be investigated if things really don't improve (as runs and runs of ectopics present as just another arrhythmia). Btw I have found at times that slow deep breathing exercises can reduce intensity of pacs, as has mild exercise/ stretching/ yoga, magnesium taurate supplementation, diet high in potassium, coQ enz10 and vit D supplements. I have also read that acupuncture and trad chinese medicine can be helpful (though I have yet to explore the last two treatment options myself yet - so cannot comment). That said, none of these have been the proverbial silver bullet for me. Hope you find greater heart stability soon. Keep safe

I've posted recently about having lots of ectopics and indigestion-type symptoms with lots of belching and some chest pain (culminating in some AF yesterday). This occured three weeks after the Pfizer booster. I spoke to my GP yesterday and he said that it was "very unlikely" that the vaccine would produce such symptoms after three weeks although he didn't say why. He also said that "the greatest cardiologist in the world" wouldn't be able to say definitively if it was the vaccine or stress or both or something else. Myocarditis following vaccination is rare and occurs mostly in young males, so I don't think this is very probable. You should definitely speak to your GP however imo.

When I was in my early twenties, forty years ago, I had some odd gastric symptoms that came to a head with severe chest pain and a prominent continuous "clicking" sound from my chest that occurred only when I lay down. It excited my whole GP practice and had a specialist interrupt his breakfast to come to hear it. It turned out to be my diaphragm being misshapen on the heart side and being pushed by distended tummy against the heart. It set of lots of ectopic beats but all did eventually settle and I was told it was of no concern.

Since then, I've continued with ectopic beats and developed a small hiatus hernia. More recently the gastric discomfort has always been a part of my arrhythmia problems, which started three years ago, but neither my cardiologist nor gastroenterologist have ever taken much interest in any connection between the two (or in my earlier issues).

Over 42,000 Adverse Reaction Reports Revealed In First Batch Of Pfizer Vax Docs

Any site that doesn't agree with the government narrative is labeled a misinformation site. Fact is, the CDC, WHO and all other pharm company supported mouthpieces, including governments and MSM, have constantly gotten things wrong and later changed their opinion and statements.

If you bothered to read the report, it was pfizer's own adverse reaction data that they were forced to release by a federal judge.

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) released the first batch of documents related to Pfizer’s Covid-19 vaccine after a federal judge ordered that they must comply with a massive Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request that was filed by a government accountability group called Public Health and Medical Professionals for Transparency.

The esteemed group of more than 30 professors and scientists asked the federal government to share any and all data that factored into the agency’s hasty decision to grant Pfizer’s experimental mRNA vaccine an emergency use authorization (EUA) – which amounts to a trove of over 329,000 documents.

In a shameless effort to bury the information, the FDA challenged the FOIA request in court. After the agency was told that it must turn over the documents, Justice Department lawyers representing the FDA asked a federal judge to allow them an unthinkable 55 years to process the request, saying that they would be able to release just 500 pages a month.

In other words, Elon will make it to Mars way before the documents would be fully released – in the year 2076.

A motion that was also filed by the same group of doctors and scientists is currently pending in federal court that would force the FDA to expedite processing and releasing these documents.

According to an official Pfizer document that is titled Cumulative Analysis of Post-Authorization Adverse Event Records Reports, in just the first 90 days of the vaccine’s roll out under the FDA’s EUA – from December 1st. 2020 – February 28th, 2021 – there were TENS OF THOUSANDS of reported adverse reactions, including OVER 1200 DEATHS.

The report only included adverse events to the vaccine that researchers considered “serious cases,” there were thousands more submissions that were left out of this data.

Any cases deemed “non-serious” would be processed within 90 days, but this report was released before 90 days of Pfizer’s vaccine being available had even passed.

In all, the report states that there were a total of 42,086 case reports of individuals who had an adverse reaction to Pfizer’s vaccine worldwide, with the largest number (13,739) coming from the United States and from the UK (13,404).

According to the documents women (29,914) were over 3x more likely to experience a reaction than men (9182). A total of 1223 individuals had a fatal reaction to the experimental Pfizer vaccine.

Okay, this is a hot button for you. Just not appropriate for a site that has so much to do with our experiences with the latest in medicine and science.

The person who posted this was concerned about possible side effects from their 2nd pfizer shot.

Fact is, it's possible and pfizer's own data say the same.

I guess that's a hot button for you.

Sounds like "hot button" is also a hot button.

I always think ectopics are A function of eating or digestive problems,a couple of weeks ago I was getting loads every day which got better or worse with posture and eating.this last week I've been in north Scotland working on a house and not eating so much and keeping busy has either made the ectopics go away or I haven't noticed them,I haven't had a chance to have bad posture or eat to much to ,even though I've been under stress with various problems up here ,not a single ectopic in sight.keep busy is my advice.
