Every time I drop off these things hit me so hard I am jolted awake ! So tired haven't had more than an hour

More than 5% pvc/pac
Hi everyone. I hope someone can advise me. I have an app on my phone that records heartrate and ectopics/irregular heart rate . Mine showed more than 5% as ectopics. My husband had none altho his heartrate was over 80. Mine was 55. I had a check about ten years ago but the ectopics settled. They have

Spriometry
Dear all, I posted the other day and have had my sprirometry, 3 years ago (age 52) I thought I had 42% lung function. The nurse said it had slightly improved since then but the print out says FEV1 28% pred. Confused unless I misunderstood 3 years ago. Any advice please greatly appreciated.

Palpitations, low heart rate, normal BP
I'm a 61 female, have had irregular heartbeats since I was 25. Over the past 3 or so years they've gotten worse to the point where I don't think I can live like this. In and out of the ER for the past 4 months diagnosed with PVC's. they go all day, every day, taking over my life. Worse with lifting weights

Anxiety taking over my life!😢
Only thing that came out on the ekg was a
PVC
but you can imagine how high my anxiety was at that moment. He said not to worry about it as it's one of anxieties most noticeable physical symptom. Btw I'm a 34yr old male. Anyone else going through this? 😫

CT Scan says COPD/Emphysema, Dr say no
I was told over 3 years ago that per a CT scan I had emphysema. Pulmonologist says my lungs are stiff, no explanation given. Fast forward to new Pulmonologist who says lungs are stiff because I am retaining C02. Orders a sleep study, diagnosed with moderate sleep apnea, so CPAP was ordered. Just had

FEV1 changes
I'm curious as to whether anyone has experienced a sudden drop in FEV 1 test. for years I have been 31/32% and in the last year dropped to 25%. i have had a few incidences where i took steroids because i felt like an exacerbation was kicking in, but was able to stop it with 2-3 days of steroids.

Is this thyroid related?
RBC 3.4 (range 4-5.2), Hemaglobin 10.57 (range 12-16), HCT/
PVC
33.6 (range 36 - 46). My MCV is 98 which is towards the high end of the range so he has told me to stop taking iron as my red blood cells are enlarged, so he has ruled out iron deficiency.

Blood Clusters/Clots Coming From Throat?
Hi everybody I'm an 18 year old female who until recently has been perfectly healthy. I don't ever get sick, but in the past few months a slew of weird symptoms without explanation have started. I started having premature ventricular contractions and still have them ( they cause all kinds of bad symptoms

Abbreviated Terms
Hi everyone hope you are all having a goodish day on Planet A F. I was encouraged to ask questions following my first post so here goes. There are a bewildering number of Abbreviated terms which I am trying to decipher as follows... PAF ,PIP, CHAD/VASC, Ventricular Rate, NOAC, PVC'S, PAC's, Ablation

No more worry..
Hi everyone hope your all ok and getting on ok. After nearly four months of worrying myself sick that I had COPD or something like it, it turns out I had a really bad chest infection. It started clearing up about 6 weeks ago after my third or forth lot of antibiotics. I went for a CT scan about a week

First time poster
I am a 34 year old female. Mother of 3 ages 17,6 and 2. I have a history of PVC's and PAC's both low density. I recently wore an event monitor that has raised a debate. One episode was a 7 second strip of what one EP labels atrial tachycardia and anothter atrial fibrillation. Would 7 seconds be typical

Anxiety so bad I'm scared to sleep
Hello everyone, in a 19 year old female and Lately I've been having some scares with my heart. I get PVCS and palpitations but all the tests (15 ECGS, halter monitor, echocardiogram, bloods) have come back normal and doctors assure me my heart is completely fine (I'm seeming a cardiologist though to
