Palps/Bending over

Does anyone know why bending over at the waist brings on PACs or PVCs?  Seems like almost every time I bend over to pick up something off the floor I get a burst of PACs when I stand up.  It is freaking me out.  Also happens if I sit or lay down too quickly.  Please help.

Are you completely free of palps or are you just dealing really well?

Hi collegegirl! I have posted a qs on the thread: Tachycardia when falling asleep and i was hoping you may be able to look at it and give me some advice?

Just wanted to ask another qs too if thats ok. What are the symptoms of AFIB? How would someone know if they are in AFIB?

the symptoms of AFIB are very similar to SVT, Basically, the top part of the heart is sending out many impulses to beat, usually between 300-600 impulses per minute. The AV node does not let all the impulses travel to the ventricles, so frequently a pulse during afib will be around 150.. The only way to know for sure is to catch the rhythm on a monitor. Some of the other symptoms are chest discomfort, shortness of breath, dizziness, pretty much the same sensations you would get with svt.. afib is also the most common heart arrhythmia. I dont think you have afib, but if you are worried, ask your doctor for a monitor, just be sure you can accept the answer and move on if nothings wrong.

It seems like you are searching desperatly to try and find a heart problem that is going to explain away your symptoms. This is not healthy and you're going to terrify yourself into thinking you have anything and everything wrong with your heart.. Ive seen soooo many people do this, and it hurts you far worse than the svt and palps will. My suggestion is to get one more event monitor, keep it for a month, record everything you feel, talk to your doctor. After this, let everytihng else go and focus on HEALING rather than trying to find a problem. Good luck!!!!

Ok..clearly you are not able to take ANY sort of constructive criticism so I am sorry for that and will not comment on any more of your comments...I will simply keep coming back to the forum for my own personal reasons and hope everyone else does the same.

oho, good suggestions, some doctors dont test for thyroid problems, and this should be mandetory in my opinion.. Ide also suggest those suffering from palps get tested for diabetes as well..

Yoshi. You are acting extremely immature. Ive already told you once, feel free to ignore my comments if you do not agree. Please stop wasting space with your nonsense.
