see? there really ARE good days..with palpitations!

[Ihatepalps2]

I am a VERY frequent poster..had PVCs and PACs for 17 years... in the past year have had about as much stress in my life as a person can have...family members with multiple serious illnesses ( cancer, heart disease)...so. its been a rough year or so. Of course, the palpitations have been relentless.
Been checked out...told benign, not to worry. Doesnt matter, when Im having them, I worry. Cant help it.
ANYWAYS... yesterday...they were absolutly horrible. I had them off and on ( every minute or so) ALL DAY long. Until I went to bed last night actually. I just felt...blah. But, went on with my day, as my cardiologist told me to.
Dreaded waking up today, but HEY!!!! I am having a GLORIOUS day! They actually DIDNT kill me yesterday....like I felt they were going to...I survived a horrible day of them! And ..nothing today. (its early yet though...) but..just wanted those of you having them bad, and new to them...there ARE good days....
I can tell the difference in my entire mood--when Im NOT having them. I feel like I could do anything.
Yahoo!
I dont know what tomorrow will bring..heck, I dont even know what the next hour will bring..but for right now, I can draw a deep breath and not have my chest tight, and i can walk across the room without my heart skipping beats...so I am HAPPY!!
Just had to share!

hi. Well, I had to go back and re-read my positive post from Thursday. Its now Sunday, and they came back, last night. After I ate dinner. Stopped at bedtime...they always do....woke up this morning...NONE.
Then by 10am...could feel a few popping...and then, like always, suddenly, they are back. And are bad.
As UP as I was Thursday, is as DOWN as I am now. I know, I know...I shouldnt give them the power to do that to me, but..as I sit here, just having driven 2 hours by myself home from my parents place up north in heavy traffic...and having them relentlessly the entire darn trip down, I continue to have them now. They arent constant, but pretty darn close.
oh well. I know they will go away.

And come back.

Hang in there, and congratulations on your positive feelings and message.

The "old saying" goes:  Pain, it feels so good when it quits.   The truth is us humans have to have some punishment to make us appreciate feeling normal.  Normal is great, and I wish you many more days of it.
