my heart keeps messing up

[zmfb]

Im a 22yo white male. 6'2" about 250lbs and have been a smoker for 4 years. My heart has been scaring me since june. And they keep getting wworse. When I stand up too fast or roll over in bed it will start palpitating and will skip every other beat for about 10-15s. It also happens randomly tthrougout the day. Other scary stuff is I do get pain in my legs that feel vascular and pain in my shoulders and left arm. The scariest thing is im poor and dont have health insurance so im scared to go to the ER. Any ideas?

It does indeed sound like run of the mill pvcs or pacs.  In a healthy heart they are more disconcerting then harmful but like the previous poster stated you probably should be checked out just to be sure.  See if you can find a doctor who will work with your predicament.  Are you in the states?  Sign up for Obama Care if you are.  Other things you can do is quit smoking.  I know it can be hard.  I smoked 25 years and didn't think I would be able to do it but I tried the Chantrix and it worked though I would not suggest using it if you have any sort of depression.  Other things you can do is address any stomach issues like acid reflux.  Those issues will irritate the vagus nerve which will send signals to the heart causing it to act up.  Finally do your best to reduce stress and especially try to not stress when you feel them as this will make them worse.  After all of that we are basically all on our own to figure out how to deal with them.  Coming here and talking it out will help.  You are not alone.  Take care and feel better soon.

Sounds like harmless PVC/ pacs have had them for 30 years, but yes still scares me

You need to have it checked for peace of mind , go to Er and have them check heart out, pay in payments
