First Post... Regarding Ectopics

SathingtonWilloby profile image

Hi to all here.

I've been having awful ectopic beats recently & had a few ambulance trips. I've had them for years but nothing like this. I can't walk, talk or eat without them being triggered. Raise my arm or leg, ectopics! I have M.E & PoTS & wonder if any of you experience this. Can a slight change in circulation cause the heart to misbehave? My cardiologist didn't have answers to this.

Cheers. David

Hi David, I have them but am post AVR so probably different. Sanjay Gupta at York Cardiology has lots of you tube videos about them... could be a place to start looking. He has a Facebook page too.

Hi Tessie. Thanks for the reply. I hope you are well. I spoke to Dr Gupta last week & he's a lovely guy, full of excellent advice, I wish all Dr's were like him!
