non-compensatory ectopic beats?? Extremely worried!..
Hi Arrhythmia Alliance! Just found this community after searching everywhere for answers without any results. So I'm hoping for some answers here. I've had PVC's for as long as I can remember, and began to worry about them at a young age. I have done too many ecg's to count, holter monitoring a couple

Hi everyone!!
Hi everyone! I'm Kelley and I've been dealing with arrhythmia's for the last 19 years, after my dx with Graves Disease. I've gone from PVC's to pac's to ectopic beats. Normal ECGs and echo. They scare the heck out of me. Dr isn't concerned but there are times they freak me out. Looking fwd to talking

Downsides of Detecting Atrial Fibrillation in Asymptomatic Patients
https://www.medscape.com/viewarticle/910482?src=wnl_edit_tpal&uac=232755DZ&impID=1954536&faf=1 This is interesting. It seems more information should be discussed with new AF patients before the current clinical approach is whole heartedly applied in all cases. Maybe scaring a patient is not the appropriate

What palpitations feel like
It's weird because when your researching palpitations,
pvc
,and afib all sound the same. I get this chest drop feeling and sometimes it will knock the wind out of me for a second. Anyone else have similar symptoms?

Repair Alveoli?
To begin with I am 80 and according to my pulmonologist my FEV1 says I am at stage 4. He has told me (just a month ago) that he has patients at my stage in beds in hospitals and nursing homes. But having said that, if you and I were to take a "walk around town" with me you would not know I had emphysema

'Hungry heart', causing PVCs, ectopics, etc?
Hi guys, I have AF but was - as many of us have been - successfully ablated around 2 years ago. I've had just one episode for 2 hours of full-on AF since my ablation, that came 6 days after my ablation. However, recently I've noticed a lot more activity and in particular I'm having a lot of positional

New info from Royal Brompton consultant + message to 2greys
Hi all, had my Brompton consultant appointment last week plus full lung function tests and CT scan. Very happy that my FEV1 has risen from 33% where it was last year when I had the two lots of pneumonia to 37.4%. So small but significant improvement - my FEV1 doesn't waver much so this seems reliable

Any bright ideas? (Bit of a vent too!)
We’re day 15 of 21 on the children’s ward and I’m scratching my head a bit tbh. The 11yo has cf (chronic pseudo since age 4) and is on 4 monthly elective IVs, and was discharged following a *mostly* planned admission at the end of Feb that included positive culture at the start for the usual PA as well

PVC'S
Anyone get premature ventricular contractions from gastointestinal problems? I keep havibg mucus, pus, yeast in my stool...and sometimes blood when I wipe. Colonoscopy was clear. Could it be haemorrhoids?

PVC's (extra heartbeats) without a pause and compensatory beat afterwards?
Been very stressed/ anxious lately, and I keep noticing PVC's without any pauses and compensatory (very hard) beats afterwards. Usually I get the "regular" PVC's with the pauses and hard beats after. But this is different. It feels just like a normal, slightly harder beat in between the normal beats

Question for those with multiple AF ablation experience
I had my ablation on December 3rd, ten years to the day of first being diagnosed with afib and tach. I had stopped taking my flecainide 3 days before the procedure and was in full blown afib when they put me under. They had me back on the flec before I left the hospital. I had been on flec for over

Self identifying type of arrhythmias
I've been told that my ability to feel almost every one of my irregular heartbeats is not the norm. One doctor made me look away from the monitor and tell him when I felt an irregular beat - didn't miss one. Anyway, since I am well aware when they happen I often try to figure out what they are but honestly

High heart rate momentary dips to 30s or 40s
In past few weeks, my Apple Watch shows rapid rise in heart rate when I go from reclining to sitting to standing position. Sometimes I feel a fluttering or pounding. The dip is just for a few seconds and then heat rate returns to normal (80s). This is happening more frequently. I have a joint replacement

Feeling much better with Magnesium Citrate and an Anti-depressant.
After 45 years of suffering frequent PVC's I met a doctor who suggested magnesium citrate. I also dragged out the last report from my cardiologist who recommended an anti-depressant, advice which I had previously ignored. So I have been taking both for a few weeks now - 400 mg of Magnesium Citrate (not
