Heart palps??? PVCS?? Doctors blowing me off!

[Rs33]

I get heart arrythmias daily some small some big. I have had 4-5 ECGs and and ultra sound of my heart and a holter monitor for a month and also 2 x-rays...everything came back nornal as well as all blood work. I started suffering from panic attacks b/c of my heart in the first place....I felt the need to pass out I never do but it feels like it. I breath slowly and I either lay back with my legs up or put my head between my legs and usually I am okay. But My hart arrythmias can last up to 5 min sometimes and then be gone for the day or maybe I will get 2-3 and then they will be gone, but I get them everyday is that normal? I still feel the need to get checked seeing how sometimes I feel the need to pass out (sometimes not everytime it happens I get a lil bit of tightness in the chest like hard to breath( but I can) I also get chest pains afterward but I think its me being in a panic thinking somthing else is wrong b/c other times If I feel it and blow it off I am totally fine.  I am pretty healthy and I did not get heart arrythmias before...I became pregnant and in my 5th month they came on pretty strong and I was checked then and they said it was bengin but it has not gone away since! Does anyone else get these? also is it safe to get pregnant again?? Please anyone with Information would be helpful my doctors keep blowing me off like its nothing.
Also I get rapid heart beats or skippd beats after say I go to the denist and get shots...I have asked to receive the one that doesn;t have the adrenaline in it due to my heart going out of wack after a procedure but even the other stuff make me have irregular beats....there very scarey to me and they fill like my heart is filling up with bubbles and there like fluttering around and they can be pretty big!! ANyways someone please help!
I have tricare so I can't see my regular heart doctor I have seen in the past!
Thanks!

I usually take my pulse my self but getting a reading through that is hard seeing how when I feel my pass out feeling I start to worry and my heart rate jumps up...I might look into getting a pulse watch.....I have been testest numourus times to see if I was diabetic but it came up normal...I have had the doc take my blood pressure laying down to sitting to standing and I only had a slight change. Ocassionally I will check my blood pressure machine and it will be quite high for me at times sometimes 140/98 or something like that but but when I sit down to relax and I breath and just get comfy I will take it again and it will be 118/80...anyways how do you control your problem now are you on any medications? I am really bad at drinking water and I am trying to get better...I barely drink fuilds as is which could be part of my problem. Just walking up and down my stairs in the middle of the night to go to the restroom I feel so tired and winded when I crawl back in bed. b4 you found out what you had....did you find it harder to breath during the day? Not so much hard to breath but at times did you feel your breathing was heavy or the air was heavier?  and did you have any chest discomfort or pain?
I will keep you updated when I see the cardiologist hopefully I get an appt next week sometime!

I know how you feel Rs33 that sounds so similar to how I have felt over the last fue years and more so in the last year when I started looking for another reason on top of my anxiety. I have been lucky to have all 4 of my kids old enough to help me or I dont how I would have coped if they were all under 5 and needed me to be active to keep them safe.

How do you monitor you pulse?

Do you wear a pulse watch if not it might be good to get one so you can keep a record of how often you HR changes and what your doing when it changes.

I was going to the gym for about 6mth before I gave up after I calapsed on my door step I felt so tired, shacky, palpitaition, breathless, foggy head, like I forgot to eat and drink when I had not Poweraide made me feel a little better and I tryed to eat healthy banana's and salad sandwhich's ect but I I was so exausted and all did was do some laps in the pool and light exercise's in the pool. My pulse was staying up around 150 for hours after even thoe I was resting and drinking ect.

Once I got my BP monitor I started noticing sudden drops in BP as low 70/40 with pulse at 50 When moments earlier I was tachy as high as 180 with high BP.. My BP still go's higher when I'm standing with sudden drops in BP that match my intence feelings that I might pass out. It was not a thought in my head that said I would pass out it was body like gravity had an intence hold on me trying to pull me to the ground. The intencity has gotten better but I still get dizzy for second or more and have to hold on to something close to get my bearings again. I have not got back in gym work outs yet but I have walked to the shops which is further than I walked in a fue years with out sitting before I pass out every time I felt the intence feelings.

have you had a glucose tolerance test as well the Dr did that for me but the results came back normal which is slightly frustrating as I'm intolerant to suger but not diabeteic or glucose intolerant. I found out I was suger intolerant at 10 via allergy ***** test. I'm thinking of going back to my Dr and asking to have a new allergy test done as my mum misplaced my test results from child hood and or things may have changes anyway. I'm already being sent to dietition cant wait to see if they help me feel better dont know what they can do help with the limit foods I can eat. If I have an food allergy test at least I'll have a more recent results to work from. I came up allergic(intolerant) to carrots but I have never really avoided them as I could never pin point a reaction well recently I started eating raw carrots every day trying harder to eat better still. I been have tummy pains way more and the only thing I really changed was eating more carrots it one of the vegetables I love to eat raw and cooked. I feel like I'm damned if I do and damned if I don't.

I suffer from so many different allergies that cause so many problems for me it frustrating. Any one of them might be contributings to how bad I feel. I'm willing to explore the idea to get back to being more energenic. The last time my mum had control over the whole process of allergies testing and side effect ect. My mum was very controlling over me and my allergies/intolerance and revisiting the Idea will be a huge OCD(obsessive compulsive disorder) chalange for me. It's a long process.


I hope you get some answer or new avenues to look down when you see the cardioligist.

I am not saying I do not have Anxiety or panic b/c I do...but this is what caused my panic and anxiety in the first place my heart. And I am getting an MRI done on the 17th I have also been seeing a therapist for about a month and a psychitrist I am on Zoloft right now to see how things work out but in the mean time I want to be sure I am healthy. I am vry worried (which probably doesn't help) B/c I have a lil girl who just turned one and I stay home with her all day. She is very active and I try my hardest to keep up but I seem to tire quickly...let me remind you I am 23 years old and 125 5'3 and I would consider myself in good shape. B4 al this happened to me I worked out for 60-90 min a day doing cardio. Now I am terrified of working out, I don't want that. I am seeing all these doctors and getting all these test to be reassured for me and my family! I just want to make sure this is panic, if it then great I will deal with it but for now believe something else is going on.. Most people think of anxiety or panic racing heart sweaty shakey....me its a different story I feel hot and cold and then I feel like my body can't move and my body feels like its gunna shut down (out of nowhere) my heart sometimes doesn't even race it does nothing and then when I am calm I get PVCS that make me feel weaker at times. What would you think if you felt like you were always passing out and having PVCS? Its a scarey thing to me I have a baby at home and its just me so if I pass out or something terrible happens whos going to hear her. I live out on 10 acres and my husband doesn;t even come home till 5 or 6. anyways I just want to be sure I am completely healthy. It could be the fact that I am over stressed as well and my body can't take it anymore. I dunno but I am going to find out! I will update if I find anything out! :) thank you everyone for helping me!

I completly agree with you about a prsons feeling if you feel something is wrong then get it checked to be sure....anyways I have not done a stress test nor a tilt table test, they gave me the monitor and since it came out normal they assumed I was fine....Now for some reason LOL everytime I had the pass out feeling I either had my monitor off( taking a shower) or was on the phone with the people that do the recording and I was giving them info back through the phone so I couldn't ever get one recorded...But the first one that ever happened to me i was in the E.R for chest pain which was a pulled muscle I was told (which is fine b/c it went away a couple days later) But when I was in the E.r I was talking to my mom and she said wow your HR is great it was about 45-50 and I looked up at it and it was at 48 and then I just had the feeling of passing out so I freakied out b/c I didn;t want to and my HR shot up to 150, and then it went away and I was feeling very anxious after that then it happend 3 more times before I left but my heart rate was at 76 at the time of feeling like I was going to pass out. I am seeking a great cardiologist hopefully this week or next to get some anwsers hes one of the best. So I am hoping that he can help and he knows my family and family history already. I went to him when I was 13 or 14. Thank you for everything I am not sure if I answered all your questions if not just write back. Thanks again!

Have you thought about getting your own portable ECG machine. They really are overly expencive and while I dont sujest you get one if you think it would make you more anxious I do think if you can seperate you fear of something being wrong and see it from a purely diagnostic point of view it may catch something you Dr's have not yet caught or it may releive your concerns for the most part.

I wear a pulse watch firstly because it uses my HR to calculate calories I burn and secondly to keep an eye on my tachycardia. I know people like to assume that monitoring is caused anxiety disorder's but I say "who cares let them have that oppinion"

I suffer from OCD I though it would become a huge obsession and my first pulse watch was one I had to press that was alway getting people making comments to so I got one that shows my pulse 100% of the time(strap around chest). It just looks like a watch to people and they think I'm checking the time. It accepavle to check the time but not to know what your pulse it doing LOL I find this to be pathetic. People are to affraid to take their own heath in to there own hands in safe ways but they will smoke dope or drink alcohole to fit it instead of trying legal meds to help with there problem.

That's all good and well to spout off a medical view and to say all of that your entittled to your oppinion.

I'm not looking at this from medical point off view, I'm viewing this from human rights point of view.

Anxiety is very treatable and I'm not saying don't concider that as a posiable reason. You should always seek help try meds ans not just sedatives but Anti D meds as well. See a therapist as well so you can learn better copping methods.

but I also still beleive that people need to turst in their symptoms if they dont improve and they strongly beleive they seriously explored the anxiety side of their issues. Then they should be taken serious by their Dr and not made to fight for a fue a test.

Personal I took to buying my own pulse watch and BP monitor to try to figure out why I feeling so bad, simply because its impossible for a Dr to put in as much effort to find any possiable reason as I could put in, and also because a fue relaxing Dr visit was not going to recreate the activities that were causing me to feel like I was going to pass out.

You may as well be a medical book cause that all I really get from what you wrote except that I never read that PVC's and PAC's are caused by anxiety if no structural problem exist in the heart. Show me medical info that say that, cause I'd like to know how they know that if they cant figure out what cause it, which is what I've read and every thing I've read still talks about it being heart issue not a head issue. Non structural heart issues are still heart issues the brain controls the heart and Dr's know even less about the brain so they call anything they cant explain phycological its a cop out. If they dont know they still need to treat you like a human being and keep you up to date on new brack threws and new meds or new threapy's Dr's need to start saying we dont have an answer for you yet but we'll monitor your symtoms and decide how often to redo test just in case they missed something or something finally shows up. You keep talking about a fue ecg being enough lol I've read that ECG often have to well timed with the event and when you have anxiety and other issues timing would be harder.
