    help with ectopic beats

    This happened on Saturday. I'm taking medication and haven't had them in about a month or so (which is great for me!). Saturday I was running around like a crazy women... running different errands, cleaning the house, helping my mom clean her house, etc. I feel like I had so much energy. Well, anyway, I decided to go out to dinner with my husband and son on Saturday. I had a big, fat greasy cheeseburger with fries and dessert! I was starving. It took hours for the food to digest.

    I finally got home and started to watch tv and BOOM, a couple ectopic beats... they freaked me out. I took clonazepam to calm down. I didn't want to go down that path again.... now it's all I can think about. Does anyone ever get these after a heavy meal--- or stressful day? I should know by now they are harmless!!!
    I've had testing done. Ugh... I'm still a work in a progress.

    a full stomach can "irritate" your vagus nerve ---> ectopics
