How do I know when skipped heart beats are dangerous?

[iAmEllen]

Over a week ago for absolutely no identifiable reason my heart started skipping way more beats than usual.  I can go hours with none and then have several hours where I'll have 2 or 3 a minute.  It's setting me over the edge.  I don't know if it's dangerous or not.  I went to the ER the other day and they basically didn't care at all and just had me take Ativan and sent me home.  Today I panicked and called the paramedics who came and did a 12 lead and they said normal sinus with one ectopic and so I didn't go back to the ER.  I had a normal echo 3 years ago.  I already don't eat caffeine or sugar.

Please reassure or sympathize with me.  I'm going insane and have no idea what's causing this out of the blue.  Why would they suddenly increase for no reason whatsoever?

Had an ablation in 2002 because of re-occurring Afib.  1st 4  months after ablation I was actually worse but then everything settled down and I was fine till the end of 2012 when I landed back in the hospital with Afib.  At 1st docs were talking pacemaker because my heart would go from 35 to 135 bpm but once I got out of the hospital, after about 3 - 4 weeks, things regulated to about 60 bpm.  Needed to get all that medicine out of my system.  Doc has since suggested stress and dehydration may have been the culprits.   I feel fortunate and just pray I remain stable for as long as possible.  Best of luck to all of my brethren o this site.

Is there  a group anywhere to help all us sufferers, i have had my skipped beats since i was 19 i am now 59, to live with this condition is depressing, it takes over your life, you try not to think about it but when you have your heart jummping in your chest it's hard to ignore it, i have been to many councilors  as mine are related  to anxiety so my dr tells me, even though i am not worrying i still get them, for years i have been taking dr Bach's rescue remedy,they help a little but dont stop the skipped beats, i wish i would wake up one morning and feel  normal again, i have had them that long i wouldn't know what normal was, god bless you all xxxx

Have any of you tried Co-enzymeQ10?
My sister had heart fibrillation for years. Ubiquital (CoQ10) has totally taken them away. A friend of mine had a tooth removed which broke in the process allowing mercury from the amalgam to get into her system. She was rushed to emergency because her heart beat went up dramatically.
She was repeatedly taken to Emerg. for treatment, given every test available and two different drugs without it helping. She then went on CoQ10 (Ubiquital) and no more Emergency!!! After having lost 15 lbs in the process (she was slim to start with) and being in bed most of the time, she is recovering and doing well.
