Heart palps, side aches, need help!

Hey y'all can hep c cause heart palps?  Or is that PTSD from TX?
Also my rt. side has a low grade ache a lot of the time- that started after the first time I tried to treat. I do have an injury on that side.
I have he-mangiomas, too, would those cause ache?
Fixin to get a fibro scan to check liver-I am scared to needle bx with the blood tumors.

Dear God please let me sleep- the palps have been waking me up for days, always in the middle of the night. I just can't seem to lead a normal life. And getting really tired. Tried proplanolol, xanax you name it. This stinks and I am really bummed.

They can be PVC's Premature Ventricular Contractions. You should wear a holter monitor to record the beats for 24 hours. They can be benign but you should go to a cardiologist and ask to be monitored.

I forgot to include this info:
I have had lots of tests, "can't find anything"
Normal BP, normal heart EKG, stress tests, etc.
I am not currently treating. But wouldn't think of it if this is still the old demon panic attacks...... imagine if inf was even i the mix!

Hi jerialice,

Not an expert but if you are having heart palp, you propbably need to get to the doc or ER.  You need to be safe and take care of yourself.

Others may have more and better info but yes, hep c can cause heart problems.
