am having some trouble here, was just fine a few minutes ago and now heart is acting up again. it is skipping and it was fine just a few minutes ago had a holter just two months ago and every thing was the same 278 pvcs some couplets, triplets and a few quads total pvc 278 and 56 of the couplets triplets etc.  doctor said everything was not life threatening. i take verapamil120 mg inderal 120 mgs guess i was wondering if the heartburn i had last night had anything to do with it and now to top it off my anxiety is off the charts anyone have anything i can try to get a handle on this?

The way I get a handle on it when my heart acts up is to take 50mg atenolol and 1mg of Xanax.  That pretty much slows my heart rate to a turtles speed and kills the anxiety with one mighty punch.  Although when the next day comes around, its back to acting up and skipping beats.  Recently I have tried to just ignore mine and come to the conclusion if it gets serious there is nothing I can really do about it anyways

I hope you have not "got a handle on it" - as the anxiety will likely give you some heart symptoms that will just confuse things.  

What do you mean by "acting up"?  Irregular, fast, pounding... what?  Does it feel like past PVCs?  If so they have been diagnosed and determined not to be life threatening.. if that helps with the anxiety, believe it.
