I Guys N Gals,
Well after quitting smoking, stopping drinking and eating better i have noticed a graduly decline in my hellish symptoms of ectopics and flutters/skipped beats & genuninly felt so much better, i was still getting occasional skipped beats but nothing compared to what i had been going to.
However over the last month i have started to slip back into old habbits, i.e drink alcohol (Only a couple of pints a week), eating takeaways and drinking alot of cola, i have found this has caused lots of ectopics and lots of anxeity about them again. I have managed not to start smoking again which i suppose is something. I havnt had a ciggarette now in 2 months and recemend anyone who suffers with ectopics and smokes to stop, it really does help.
Tonight however has been my worse in a long time, i was driving and all of a sudden i had a bout of about 3 -5 skipped beats in rapid succession, i was of course mortified and very anxtious about this, i felt very unwell very quickly, I even drove myself to the hospital which (out of coincidence) was only round the corner. I sat outside trying to regain myself, i drove home without going in to A&E in a vain attempt to tell myself that the ectopics wasnt going to win this battle.
I wanted to post a thread on here as i would like some reassurance to settle a very fragile and conncerend mind that all is ok and that these ectopics are not going to kill me or cause me to have a heart attack or stall my heart. I have been very very close to depression before and can remember times that these ectopics and palpitations & skipped beats cause such a strain on my life, i really dont want to go back to being like that.
Someone Please Reassure Me!!!!!!
