Re: PVCs with brief shortness of breath
Hi Emily,
I get these too..they are definitely related to my anxiety.
Im still unsure if theyre like an acide reflux or something as they happen so briefly but they can cause an adrenalin surge of panic.
Im also learning to cope with them, I havent had any blood work or heart tests done other than ECG, mainly cos the cardiologist laughed at me and basically said go away due to the exercise routine I was completing each day at the time.
I get these, sometimes with the thud, sometimes not and just like something stole my breath for a brief second.
I also get flutters of 5-10 beats at a time..I think these arer also due to posture or how tired I am and rarely get them through the day excessively.
I am constantly aware of my heartbeat and when i'm not I wonder why and then feel it start beating hard again.
Im not like this everyday but somedays I'm manic and my thoughts are constantly on it.
Something we have to learn to live with I guess....oddly when we do, they'll go away.
Im sure you know this too from when you have a good day
