Hi, 3 years trying, 1st post, I am a 46 year old female, since 2000, I have been plagued by random bouts of PAC's & PVC's (both seen with event & holter), All other (Stress, Echo, Stress/Echo test normal), My arrythmia's come and go, 3 weeks with none, then several days with dozens, more pronounced with cold weather and exertion. I have had some partial syncope with the PVC's. I am absolutely terrified whenever they come back, My MD says not to worry, learn to live with it. I almost rather not live with it than to deal with the constant fear that I am going to drop dead at a moments notice somewhere or that I will be found dead in my home (I live alone). Since these came on, my life has been horrible, I no longer excercise (I loved walking, skiing in the winter), I am failing at work (stressful job), and I am just losing the will to fight. I'd like to come to Cleveland to see if someone could figure this out (I had no problem before 2000), I know from the posts that its very common and most are far worse than I am, but its killing me every bit as much as if the Doctors did find a serious problem. I am afraid to drive or travle due to the partial syncope. I was hospitalized because of this in 2005 for 3 days in CCU, they observed no problems while I was there, same thing for my dozens of trips to the ER (I stopped going), PLEASE, PLEASE, HELP,
Thanks for this forum and advise, it has been of some comfort in easing my fears.
