Hi there, I am sorry you are in the middle of this at the moment. I am sure you will feel more reassured when you get your results back, but the meantime can I tell you that I had these ectopics for as many years as you and longer... they were so bad that there was hardly any pause between the runs and I couldn't sleep for them. I believe that they are really early beats (as opposed to missed beats) and because one is early, it seems a wait for the next normal one , if that makes sense. You can read about them on this site anyway.
I have now just had my 70th birthday and have few or none for the last 5yrs or so. They have not done any damage to my heart and I still do exercise classes and walk a lot. There were some tips on here a few years ago and the two that worked best for me were.....100% Pure Purple Grape juice and the conscious act of telling them to shuffle off 'cos they were not important to me and I was just gonna ignore them! I know this might sound basic, and when they were at their height I was scared too, but I just want you to know that they can go away and after all your tests are clear, that they really cannot harm you. Hugs XXX:hugs:

Thank u very much for the kind words ill be sure to tell em to shuffle of next time I get then and when these results come back I hope it will close the case on them so I can get my life back I'm sick of living in fear so much so it's making me very depressed but hopefully I can change that thank u once again sorry it's late but happy birth day
