Hi All,
I have just relocated from Holland to Singapore with my family. I am an healthy person and didnt have any heart issues whatsoever before. In past months, I have been under huge stress and suddenly starting feeling heart shakes, sudden extra beat or whatever you can call it. It wasnt constant but sometimes, I would feel 2-3 within a minute apart from eachother never together.
I went to the doctor, who immediately took ETT, alot of blood to check potassium, magnesium etc etc and heart ultrasound. All came normal, heart was functional normal. He put me on 7 days holter and during those seven day (which were last week) , I have been very nervous. I read all kinds of scary stories on internet. I guess because of anxiety, I ended up going to A&E on Saturday night , 18th of May and the cardiologist kept me there to ensure if there was nothing else wrong. Took more blood, did chest xray , and a CT angiogram, all came out normal. My 7 days holter tests report was given to me which says that I have infrequent PVC which is sometimes symptomatic. Cardiologist said usually they given nothing for it but just to calm me down , he has put me on Sotahexel 80mg for 7 days and xanas.
I am just generally worried. I am feeling dizzy and very tired. Now I am starting to worry if Beta blocker is a good idea. But if I dont take it, could this ectopic beats cause any other dangerous issue with the heart even when they are regarded infrequent and isolated??? Should I be on Beta-blocker or perhaps some calming medicine for a while to go through this stress period. Why did I start to feel these ectopic out of a blue and so clearly in past three weeks?
I would be extremely thankful if any one can help me who has gone through the same or knows more .
Thanks alot in advance.
