Hello I am a 35 and have frequent heart palpitations in the past a doctor diagnosed it as PVCs. Over the years I have noticed that I notice them more when I eat , stomach is upset or hungry. It seems certain diary products like milk cheese makes them worse also fatty foods and processed foods, but when I eat healthier I notice them too. I have had every test done by my doctors EKG, Echocardiogram,cardiac stress test, lab tests ,thyroid checked and food sensitivity test and doctors say everything is perfect . I do take thyroid medication for hypothyroidism for 7 years and the dosage is being monitored by my Endocrinologist and my labs we’re checked recently and they are perfect. I’m just so confused why I keep having these annoying heart palpitations and why my cardiac doctor can’t determine what’s going on. I’m not overly overweight I’m 5’3 165 pounds . I want to get pregnant again but nervous about my heart palpitations. Any advice on how to stop these things? Should I see a gastroenterologist?

There is no such thing as "perfect" with thyroid results, the vast majority of Drs will say results are good regardless of where in the range they fall, what you need are results that are right for you as an individual, we are all different so my thyroid results may not be good for you and yours not good for me.
If you want to post your results either on here or on ThyroidUK they might give some clues.
Hi im 34 and get these.do you find them worse at certain times of month?
I'm not sure I can help. I know the vagus nerve can cause stomach/heart issues. Try looking up Sanjay Gupta from york cardiology on youtube he had lots on palpatations. best of luck
Hello Tiffany, Well I’ll make this short as I’ve written quite extensively on the problems of ectopics, especially when they are causing quite unnecessary (but very understandable) worry – there must be a way of searching for my posts, so you could use that if you wanted to. Just to say, very briefly, that I had my first ectopic experience when I was about thirty – I got off the train I was travelling on and called into Kings’ College Hospital, to be told there was absolutely nothing wrong with me and that ectopics were very common. Since that time I have had every possible investigation into the problem – with the same advice: DON’T WORRY! And that is my advice to you, Tiffany: DON’T WORRY. Ectopics have come and gone all my life – but, because you really do have to, I have learned to live with them. I am now seventy-nine. Good luck Tiff, and absolutely seriously, do work on accepting the situation – eventually you can forget all about them – and so now do go ahead and bring that baby into the world :o)
Best,
Patrick
