Hello all. I am 50 yr old, W, M. Last year I had a issue of rapid heart beat (with skipped beats) and Aphasia, which put me in the E.R. Because of the Aphasia they thought I might be having a TIA, but all MRI/CAT scans came back normal. They did put me on a 24 Holter Monitor that showed: "Extremely frequent Ventricular ectopic activity, Over 14,500 ventricular isotopes were noted, Rare couplets were identified. Several episodes of bigeminy, trigeminy and quadrigeminy were documented.
I had another episode this last March. They did a TEE to check for clots/holes and was clear except for leaking mitral valve, that my Cardiologist was not to concerned about. I just finished a 1 month event monitor and will be going back to the doc on Thursday.
When I have the PVC's which seem non stop, I have throbbing in the back of my head were I feel every heart beat and what feels like skipped beats. When ever I lay down I can feel every beat in my chest, of course my anxiety goes up when this is happening, which is all day everyday right now.
Have any of you had issues like this and what is normally the treatment. What would be some good questions to ask my doc?
Thanks in advance
