Backsliding?
I don't know what's up with me lately. I have been under tons of stress lately so I don't know if what I'm going through is connected to that, or side effects of meds (although I've been on metropolol for a long time now so I don't know why it would be effecting me now).
Anyway, lately, in early afternoon or sometimes early evening, I've been feeling dizzy, lightheaded, unsteady on my feet, the whole enchilada. My HR doesn't really change during these episodes but they are very unsettling.
Now I find myself falling back into all my old habits I had when I first starting getting PVCs , PAC and PSVT . Constantly taking my pulse, being completely preoccupied with my heart and living in fear. I am not happy about this but can't seem to exercise any control over it. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanx.

Thanks again guys. I am still going through quite a bit of turmoil I also have rheumatoid arthritis and a few other things and they are making my PVCs and rhythm problems even worse at the moment but I keep on keeping on.
Hello,
My PVC cycles also come and go...the latesteriod being the longest and most troubling. You can't help but worry, or be unsettled by it.
i am going on 38 years since I first noticed these very disturbing ectopic beats. For my GAD I take a .5 Klonopin daily, and for depression and or OCD 10 mg of Prozac. I have been on Beta blockers of various brands for most of these 38 years. Nothing seems to quite the PVCs when I am in the "vicious cycle" except time. They (PVCs) seem to just "spend themselves out" for awhile. sometimes it is a long while, and life is wonderful, sometimes intermittent, but when my adrenaline and fear and obsession with them take over, then I just suffer more. Bur, for myself, the above mentioned meds seem to help somewhat. best to you
