I have atrial fibrillation and possibly freguent ventricular extrasystoles in evenings and mornigs. I have hyperpareathyroidism, muscle dystonia, hypothyroidism etc.
The extrasystoles are as if a calf is jerking in my chest. I had an EKG today. It was very abnormal, but I don't know how, at least AF. The nurse did not first allow me to leave the room, but an older nurse then allowed me go.
What are these calf jerkings in my chest occurring when I lie in bed? They begin immediately when I wake in my bed in the morning. Because I have hyperparathyroidism, it may be difficult to get normal sinus rhythm.
I have 100 mg atenolol as my medicine. I am not allowed to increase the dose. Calcium channel blockers and many betablockers are not suitable for me. Someone suggested Digoxin to me, but hyperparathyroidism prevents its use. I don't know how to treat my abnormal rhythm.
