Skipping Heart

I know you say that everyone gets PVC's and PAC's.  I would just like to know if the doctors at the Cleveland Heart Centre get them as well?  If so, how many a day would you say you get?  I get them every day.  Not a whole bunch of them but I do get them everyday.  Just curious if the doctors get them and feel them as well?

I've often read these forums but never thought I would post myself. Here goes nothing...

I've been fighting high chol\trigs. for about 5 years now. I've been on and off a meds (Zocor\Tricor). Both my parents are diabetic and have similar blood test readings.

I've been going to the doctor for about 5 years now....my trigs were once as high as 980, my chol was as high as 258. I've gotten both down with diet\meds to trigs between 250-400 and chol 225-240.

My question is, I've yet to tackle this problem now for almost 5 years. How long does it take for long lasting issues to settle in. Issues like clogged arteries ect.

I've become obsessed with my health at this point and have prob. made matters worse for me as I've developed severe anxiety attacks at any feeling or pain in my chest or any other part of my body.

Please help...

Sorry to hear of your misfortune - but glad you got it diagnosed.

Is this something that showed on an echo or EKG?

Thanks.

river,

I've had some in the past. I can't really speak for my colleagues. They are very common.  

good luck

My cardiologist also has PVCs and he can feel them, therefore he can sympathize, most people that have them and don't feel them mostly always gives you the weird why worry look, they can't help it , never judge a man/woman til you have a mile in their shoes.I'm sure some CCF has PVCs, probably most don't feel them, but I'm sure them that do sure can relate.Take care. PVC sufferer's always same to be all alone because the vast majority that have them don't feel them.

I am sure that someone on staff gets them for sure.  I saw my cardiologist today and he gets them too. Not the greatest feeling for him either but thats reality for them too.,
