Hi,
I've suffered with ectopic beats for about 2 years, and only until about a year ago, did I even know they were them. I had ECGs and 24 hour tapes, and because they were so infrequent then, nothing picked them up! They decided it was "just stress" and sent me off with no information, almost as though I made the whole thing up!
After finally being told what they were (I can still remember the doctor who reassured me!), and how they affect many people, and most people don't even notice them, it made me feel a lot better. Recently, though, they have been more frequent, and I've noticed it's very hard to ignore them, or carry on with day-to-day things, as though they aren't there. I'm still being checked out, as my symptoms have worsened, but I find it so hard to relax and calm myself - any ideas from anyone? It doesn't help that I am naturally quite an on-edge kind of person!
(Also I hadn't heard about drinking water to lessen the symptoms before, I'll give that a go aswell!)
J.
