24hr Holter
Hi, Recently started back on Bisoprolol for palpitations/PVCs after 7yrs off. I'm on low dose, 1.25mg but they've really calmed down what were pretty uncomfortable symptoms (3 A&E visits in one weekend!) Anyhow, have a holter monitor booked for next week and not sure whether to stop the Bisoprolol or

anxiety over Afib
I guess I’m just looking for some info to put my mind at ease - I’ve had Af for 8 years (since age 35) and the stress and anxiety has been worse than the Af. How Likely am I to have a medical emergency from Af ? Could it give me a heart attack or Vfib ? I’ve had no Af since ablation but I’m starting

Amlodipine and heart arrhythmias
My husband takes Amlodipine for mildly raised BP and for about 2 hours after taking it his heart performs badly. Until recently, it was merely a slightly raised rate and PAC's, but in the last week his rate is 50% higher than normal, massive amounts of PAC's and PVC's and Kardia shows 'possible AF

stress test concerns
I am about to do a stress test on treadmill but worried about it because I am not that fit or young, and have a history of pvcs and atrial fib. I am concern about the pace of it since I don’t want to kick off these issues and coming off beta blockers for 48 hours is a concern! How hard to do they push

Heart Palpitations since I was 9 years old
Hi--I have been on this site before with my story . My story is 62 years long! Since I was 9 I have had heart palpitations. I have had them checked out many times. The most recent was about a year ago when I had a full work up with a cardiologist and they say my heart is extraordinarily in good shape

Atrial Trigeminy, PVCs and everything imbetween
I am now actually quite scared as for the past 24 hours I am showing I am having runs of Atrial Trigmeminy, not all the time I don't know if the anxiety is making it worse. I feel like light headed with worry but I don't know if it is the metoprolol as I upped the dose yesterday, but for the past 4

Ectopics scaring me, lasting longer than usual.
This past week, for 3 days, I had almost continuous ectopics and for the first time, they even lasted all night which really scared me. I went to the A&E, the ECG was "normal" but during the 4 hours I was there, the telemetry did pick up ectopics. The doctor said there was nothing to raise a red flag

New and worried - Arrhythmia
I also have
pvc
and pac ectopics. I’m at an awkward age (female 49) and for the past 5 months I’m getting small runs of what I can’t be sure are ectopics or if the svt has returned (after all this time after an ablation I’d think that odd?!).

Palpitations after ablation
Hi, I had my ablation 4 weeks ago for PVCs. First 2 weeks no palpitations. After 14 days I started to have high burden of PACs. They can come in singles, couples or up to 3 times in a row. Almost every 10 sec. They are very active since they showed up about 14 days after the ablation. Did anyone

PVCS and bigeminy

Looking for advice on what feels like chains of ectopic heartbeats?
I used to have Wolf Parkinson White, which would occur with SVT runs and ectopic heartbeats which could be quite painful and alarming. My fear was always the ectopics, they'd cause such sudden pangs in my chest that my brain processed them as dangerous. However, it was a fast run in my sleep that then

Water tip
Hi, I have always had plenty of ectopic beats and PVCs. I had a blood test back in early spring which showed my kidneys were showing signs of dehydration and to come back for another test but to drink plenty first. I have always drunk loads of decaf tea and some decaf coffee, but probably only a pint

Pvcs and pacs following acute afib episode and Apple watch ecg/ekg
Following my first (confirmed) afib attack a month ago(with rvr) I seem to have an occasional flip flop or thud and flutter from my heart. Cardiologist and EP discontinued my beta blocker after 10 days because my HR is already low and the flip flopping came a few days later. Yesterday I discovered

AF or PVCS ablation
He told that my ectopics were monomorphic ventricular ectopics and an ablation was needed for
PVC
ectopics only. He also said that it was not a good idea to do both ablations in one go as it may be dangerous. Now I am in limbo: don’t understand what ectopics I have and what ablation is needed.

Emphysema on Lung Health Scan
I have mild emphysema FVC/FEV1 ratio 65% FVC % of normal 119% FEV1% of normal 104% I recently had a lung health check for cancer ( negative ) but there was no mention of emphysema on my letter --- I asked my doctor this morning & he said it probably didn't show up because your lung damage is mild
