Re: Ventricular Tachycardia Worries
Hi Ella
The symptoms you are describing are not VT.
You are obviously concerned about your heart because of the Ectopic beats you are experiencing, and you are now 'looking within', wondering what is going to happen next, or indeed if your heart is going to stop altogether. I can imagine you pacing around the house with your fingers hovering over your pulse numerous times a day, does this sound familiar? You are probably at the stage where you fear doing exercise or anything strenious just in case you 'damage' your heart even further.
If you can relate to what I've just said then please do not worry. You are the wrong age and gender to have heart problems, and VT (which you do not have) is only dangerous in severely damaged hearts (heart attack). Short bursts of VT will not lead to sudden death, but you really don't need to be concerned about VT anyway, as you have had every test done and trust me, any abnormalities in the heart would have shown up clearly. You have no heart problems, you are simply sensitized at the moment, and this alone is causing your symptoms.
I hope this helps a bit.
House.
