Ectopic heartbeats

[Tarsh]

I have done alot of reading on the net about palps recently as I have been suffering from them quite badly.... I am on Propranolol which does not seem to help them much.

A few websites said to try Magnesium so I did and after about three days I notice they have lessoned quite a bit, may be nothing to do with it but its worth a go! I take 200mg a day and have noticed a difference.

i too have been suffering with these pesky things constantly since october! mine are like 10 per minute!!! i have been to the dr 8 times he is not atall concerned as i dont have any other symptoms! my mum has suffered from them too. My friend works for the ambulance service and she also tells me that these skip beats are not atall dangerous!! I drive my partner mad, as these things are totally ruining my life. My dr says he gets them too!..........To reassure you all even more, google dr david richardson, heart and cardiology and skipped beats etc. I just pray for the day they go away!! Im only 30. :( xxxx

its been a while since i have been on this site, so here goes! 2 yrs ago i had very bad ectopic beats, they scared the life out of me. I had all the usual tests, blood, countless ecgs, heart scan and finally i was given a 24 hr monitor, i had to write down each time i felt a missed beat, i was terrified because it was loads!!! i went back the next day and was told to vist my gp after the holiday ( it was xmas time), i was so anxious, as i was convinced it was my heart, but no it was harmless ectopic beats, please believe me when i say i know what you are all going through, they are horrendous things to have to put up with but 2 and half yrs later i am still here, and yes they do still come and go, but now im reassured they are not serious i do concentrate hard on trying to ignore them, good luck to you all, and thank you to all the people on here who supported me and reassured me, i wont leave this site, i will come back now and then please keep up the good work you all do. x
