Well I finally got my heart monitor results back today. Picked up the 'skipped beats' and I am told to be reassured they are completely normal extra ventricular contractions. One recording showed 'multifocal ventricular contractions' which apparently sounds worse than what it is and is normal. 3 ectopics.
Anyway I've been trying to think less about them lately and been doing more or less well with the 'skipping' as I have been told they're fine and they usually come with a stressful event.
However my body just cannot differentiate between threat and excitement now and I'm finding myself panicking at things I should be enjoying like days out etc. seeing somebody I like causes my heart to be very inappropriate and cause a surge in adrenalin (which I know is a normal response) but my body interprets it now as bad and causes me to panic. How do I stop this for nice things????
The other thing is my slow heart rate. It's really concerning me. The dr said I shouldn't be worried. That its very healthy to have a heart rate down in the late 50s/60s. But I just keep wanting to scream but its not normal for me!!! I'm not an athlete, I am used to having a heart in the 70/80s. I just came back to my car and made a dash to get in as it was raining, my heart increased as you would expect. But as soon as I sat down it went slow again.
A thought that occurred to me was us it possible that from all the adrenalin used up has conditioned my heart in some way like an athlete doing expertise? Is that a mad thought??? I'm trying desperately to believe there's nothing wrong but I feel so damn tired and sluggish all the time. And the constantly worry over how slow my heart is beating really scares me. Even when I'm feeling a bit in edge I find my heart isn't racing like it should be of you were panicking?
