experiancing dizziness nausea and headaches wit on going PVC

[heather_dench]

Hi everyone :)

I have not been on medhelp for some time now! Butt im still in the same vote as the last post i putt up..
Im still getting PVC every day , Butt iv learn to live with them ! I have had many tests and the cardiologist has refered me back to my doctors a few months ago and they still say that the heart beats are benighn!! I have also had a ECO and the doc said that i had a enlargement on the left side of my heart and that i have nothing to worry about for the next 50 years.They still come hard and strong every day and wake me up most nights and still scare the living daylights out of me most days!!
The last 2 weeks i have been experiancing dizziness nausea and headaches and have been having these sharp pains in the back of my head and it travels round the side!! i can feel them in the morning and they seem to get worse as the day goes on , if i lie down and have a quick power napp they seem to go butt they never seem to go completely!! This has been happening for the last 2 weeks and i have been to the doc and he has given me the once over and said that he does not no what it could be butt to wait it out and hopefully that it will go away on its own in the next few weeks!!!
Im not sure if it would have anything to do with the pvc i have, butt im starting to worry a bit now! I feel that if i go back to my docs he is just going to say that im worrying for nothing..
Has anyone out there been experiancing something similer ???
Your help is kindly wanted :)

Hi Ya

Thanks for your post, it was great to read.
I have been on beta blockers befor butt i ended up putting weight on and still had PVC they didnt help at all, so my doc took me off them.
As for anxiety, i dont think it would be as iv been incontrol with these PVC,I only worry about them when i have a run of them in a day! i dont stress when i only have one or 2.
I asked the doc about anxiety and said i dont need meds.

This is what the ECHO man says:

SOOOOOOOO

Thats about all they have said with no review after it and refered me bsck to my doc!!
Im not sure about the dizziness or feeling nauseated has anything to do with this ECHO, Butt it would be nice to have someone elses opinion.

Are you on any heart rhythm medications, such as a beta blocker?  If not it seems to me a reasonable try.  The problem may also be driven by anxiety.  Have you discussed trying any anxiety medication to see if it can get you over the "hump" to being better, under control?

Many on the Community have ended up just "living" with their heart rhythm problem, I am one with permanent atrial fibrillation...with mild symptoms.

Did you doctor say anything about how the heart enlargement happened?  Any valve problems?  No suggesting anything, a stable enlarged heart (could be congenital) should not be a problem, but is left atrium it can contribute to atrial fibrillation - I have an enlarged left atrium (5.4 cm diameter), which is at the root of my AFib problem.
