PVC nightmare

PVCs are weird heartbeat sensations. Fluttering, pounding , flipfopping….had them for 20 years and recently learned how to deal with them. But they’ve gotten worse lately. Had testing including ekg, stress test, etc. All good. That’s reassuring until I have another attack. It is crazy making and I feel like I’m going to drop dead. Then after an hour or two they go away. But my day is ruined wondering is it the meds I’m on? My insomnia? Anxiety? Could be a thousand things. And that incessant worrying sets the stage for the next attack, whenever that is. I’ve come too far in healing from depression to get derailed by this thing that docs aren’t worried about but I am. And now I’m tuned in to every freaking heart beat. Can anyone relate?

I also have PVCs, however, I am very lucky in that I don't feel them at all, but I do worry about them. Have you talked about ablation with your cardiologist?

Hi b1b1b1. We haven't discussed ablation yet. I love the guy (my GP) but he's very conservative. I agree that I should try everything else first, but it's hard to wait it out. I liken it to a really bad toothache......it's hard to think about anything else until you get it dealt with......thanks for your response. Glad to hear your pvcs are not too bad :)

Do you take any medication for them? It might be a good idea to be under the care of a cardiologist.
