I asked the dr to send me all correspondence regarding my ectopics since 2017. Last letter dated August 2019 she felt 6 fast beats which is non sustained bigemy. Never told me that in consult. 200 dollars for 5 min. I worried what is bigemy. Is it different from ectopics. Letter says she still thinks its ectopic. Is it dangerous. Im scared of this shit. Exhausted from fear and constantly feeling my neck for a steady pulse. In feb i felt alot of ectopics and monitor said i had 2 in 24 hrs.

NOT COPING THEY SCARE ME THUMPS IRREGULAR BEATS FOR SECONDS ON ENDS. IM SCARED

I’m in the same boat. I’ve been dealing with this for over 6 years and till this date they still freak me out. As I’m writing this I’m feeling them. For the past 3 days they have came back and I feel them all day long if I move, lay down, sit still, walk I get them. Some feel as a pause some feel as a flutter and some feel like a big boom! They say it’s from anxiety but I have a really bad time believing that!

I did have those irregular beats last year and was prescribed magnesium. Not sure if what you're having is the same. Sounds like you might want to get a second opinion.

I'd have to look at my medical report on that issue but the magnesium worked. It took a few days but I don't have the fluttering beats any more. And yes I was nervous that something terrible was going to happen again. I had a CHF in 2017. Had 10% chance of living! Thank God for my wife, son a neighbor and of course the first responders! Not to forget the emergency room medical team! Praying to hear good news from you soon🙏

Consult this with your cardiologist. Pray it does take care of your fluttering🙏

I thought I was health, problem is that I hadn't been getting physicals on a regular basis! So it's a great thing that you are on top of things! Wish I had been, could've possibly avoided having a CHF. I'm not home, I'm in California and flying back home to Washington state tonight, I take 400 mg of magnesium a day.
