Sleep and heart health.
Does anybody know if there is a possible link between poor sleep/insomnia and heart health ? The reason is I have always been poor sleeper due mainly to work shift patterns. I also have a slightly obstructive airway by way of a long suffered deviated septum. Over the past couple of years I have been

PVC’s - Did You Ever Find The Cause?
Just that really! Out of the blue started suffering frequent symptomatic PVCs. I’m having the symptoms treated but have no idea what’s the cause. Does anyone who suffers with them know what causes theirs? Does finding out help make them stop?

High heart rate at night
I have been suffering from night time PVC 's for around five years. I have had every test under the sun incuding angiogrammes and calcium scoring, only to conclude that there is just normal wear and tear on my heart. However recently things have been getting worse and my heart rate ( I wear a wrist

Are you heart palpitations this severe?
Hi, I am a 38 yo female who has been experiencing heart palpitations my entire adult life. I have had Holters, ECGs, and echos, and only PVCs and suspected inappropriate sinus tachycardia have been diagnosed. I have learned to live harmoniously with the occasional flip-flops and tachycardia. However,

Heart rate still high after exercise
I recently purchased a heart rate monitor that you wear as a watch and noticed when I exercise and get my heart rate to 110 bpm let’s say after walking up a hill etc, my heart rate is still late 90’s for up to a hour after. Or sometimes it just stays not much lower than my peak heart rate. I get

5 times larger stroke risk
I know, I should have written this as a response to what BigArnie has posted lately, but since there are so many comments to his post, people most probably would miss to read it.

PVC’s
Hi everyone. It’s been 8 months tomorrow that I had my SVT Ablation. I am back to working out regularly, and I also got a new job while being a full time student. I am still taking my metoprolol twice a day, even though I really should start weaning myself off of it. I am scared to do that though because

Cardiac Ablation for Frequent PVC and PACs - 6 Weeks out and struggling
Hello! I am new here, 28F, and 6 weeks post-ablation. I am told my ablation was a success, since they weren't able to duplicate the PVCs, PACs, and NSVT. However, I have had an awful recovery and I'm looking for some advice as to whether or not this is normal. I've been to my physician's office countless

Thank you
I have experimented with high doses of potassium but I also have super
ventricular
tachycardia
and if the minerals get out of whack my heart goes berserk. All to say that I don’t have a solution.

Ablation for PVCs²
I've been told by my EP that he recommends that I have an ablation, as I have PVCs. I'm only 40 and currently take Flecainide twice a day, 50mg per time and have done this for around a year. I'm terrified of having the ablation done, as any heart procedure sounds terrifying to me. I asked could I have

Atrial bigeminy, ectopics, PVCs and low heart rate
I'm 57 and have atrial bigeminy which is almost constant, my resting heart rate ranges between 38 and 44 on average. I've had ECGs and EKGs showing my heart is strong but misfiring. A 24 hour halter monitor revealed very frequent ectopics and I've been waiting over a year for a treadmill stress test

Exhaustion
I have severe PACs and PVCs that I can feel. I take an anti arrhythmic medicine but still feel some. On particularly bad episode days where I feel them most of the day I am completely exhausted by the end of the day. I mean so exhausted that all I can do is go to bed because I can not physically do anything

Fear of exercise?
I had an ablation done on Dec. 22nd. Originally, the procedure was for PVC’s, but they had to take care of a tachycardia issue instead. After wearing a heart monitor for 48 hrs my dr. said things looked good. My PVC’s were showing up 2% of the time he thinks ablating the tachycardia issue helped .

Anybody ever heard anything like this before ?
I have been a poor sleeper all my life mainly due to working shifts amongst other things. About 5 years ago I started to have severe night-time heart palpitations which only happened when I went to bed (as if I already wasn't a poor sleeper) these have made my life miserable. I have had every investigation

Bisoprolol: What is your effective dosage?
My daughter had Ventricular Ectopy (PVCs) and borderline of Heart Failure. -Initially they gave her Bisoprolol 2.5mg/day. Her PVCs burden went down from 25% to 12%. -Then they increased the dose to 5mg/day hoping that it'd lower further the number of PVCs. Unfortunately, it swung up to 22% (!). -Back
