Heart Palpitations

[greendonkey91]

So for a long time I've been dealing with heart palpitations. Recently, however, they've been much worse. I've had a month long heart monitor, blood tests, urine tests, stress test, and chest x ray awhile ago. They all came out relatively normal other than some sinus tachycardia, but i was told i didnt need treatment. Sometimes I have this type of palpitation that feels like an extra beat, a really forceful one, like something kicking me from inside and it knocks the air out of me. Ive had these before, even before those tests were done, and I was told i didnt need treatment. But lately its been worse. The beats feels so hard, it feels like an adrenaline spike. and im having three or four within a few minutes before they stop, unless i start panicking because of it in which case they get even worse. Has anyone else had this? Has anyone else gotten these kinds of palpitations and had them caught on a monitor?

Make a Holter 48 hours, and write down the symptoms related to what you feel. If you feel tachycardia after the strong beats, I would say that could be PVCs. Have structural heart disease, an echocardiogram would be interesting.

oh and i forgot to mention, along with all those other tests that i mentioned i had done a while awhile ago, i also had an echo done and nothing was found.

i actually did a two week monitor recently, i have an appointment later today to follow up. i doubt it picked anything up though, i didnt a month long monitor like two years ago and they didnt find anything abnormal, just benign PVC's. its just been getting worse lately though which has been worrying me. i guess ill find out later.

sd to say they are normal even though they don't feel it, I've had 35 years now they come and go and yes they feel like your saying, sometimes i have 10 a min, all day long not fun, but if your heart has been checked out and they tell you your ok than you have to believe it or you will go insane with worry.  i take a beet blocker because my heart rate would get very high but it has not done that in years.   i also take ativan as needed it helps to calm me but i might take it twice a year. i can't say I've learn to live with them, i guess i have adjusted to them when they come, but they still scare me.

yeah, its hard to convince yourself that its fine when it feels so wrong, even when the doctors tell you youre ok.
