    Real heart problems

    7 years ago I started to have an arrhythmia. I have thousands of PVC’s and PACs per day. After many tests, the cardiologist deemed them benign. I also saw an electrophysiologist for a 2nd opinion who concurred. My palps seem to be somewhat episodic, or perhaps I’m just unaware of them at times. For the past month they have been awful. My cardiologist now wants to me to wear a 2 week heart monitor. Glad he’s being proactive but also scared of the results. I’ve also learned there is new research that shows that the number of palps I have can actually weaken the heart over time (whereas I was previously told they wouldn’t). So there’s that too. I start my monitor tomorrow. Just reaching out for support since it’s a yucky loop of now being anxious about the palps which is making them even worse. I’m staying off Google, trust my doc, but am just feeling concerned. I need to be here to raise my child.

    You have to have like 20k+ everyday for it to affect the heart. Once a doctor sees that you are having that many they can fix it with medication ,or an ablation. Calm down you are doing everything that you can to address the problem. If they find anything it can be easily fixed. Try not to worry and just relax

    Yes I have 30K per day. I am calm, but I am concerned.
