Yes... I have had all the tests done. That's where they recorded the somewhat close to 20,000 pvc's in a 24 hr period. I just started my first beta blocker last night. Toprol. Except I am having a new symptom. I am feeling hot, and weak, and VERY irritable! My arms have been feeling hot from my elbows to my fingertips, and it started about 2 days ago before I started taking the medicine. I t seems like if it isn't one thing... it's always another.

i know. i have been reading alot about different meds, and everything. I just got my bloodwork redone today so hopefully everything will be ok. I dont think it is the medicine that is causing me to feel hot, because i got it b4 i took the med. The only side effect that I felt last night when i took the medicine was i felt tired, and i feel very irritable today. Hopefully that subsides. I am going to stick with it for a couple weeks, and see how it goes. Let me know how everything goes with you dear.

hey glad to here your on a bb is that the first one you have been on, wow with all that you have i would think you been on one all your life, ive been on timolol for 15 years now i have to have a bb. well did he give you a med to calm you when you need it right than. like ativan , i have to have one .today is not starting out to good for me, i was feeling good for about 3 days and boom here is the earstingling and the stomack,weak legs all over agin am so discussed with this, mine usually goes away and stays gone but this is hanging in there. does your anxieety do that come and go . am sure it does . the new systems your having . i have been having for 3 months now, the hot  and waek so true for me and just dont have the patince for nothing, so i know where your coming from . my dr tried to put me on that toprolxl but i read side affects and was off of it in 3 days, meds scare me and i didnt like that one either . it probley is a great drug i just didnt like side affects. i was on atenolol and it took my pac away the first day it ws great but just to strong for me or i was under so much stress that it wsanxiety and i though it was the pill i was on it 14 days with no flutters it was great, if i start having them bad again am going to try that one again as long as iam not stressed. sorry so long i have lots to say. ok so any change in palps yet . if you get tired and weak its a lot from that drug, you can go under google and read about it , but if you want to stay on it dont , side affects scared me off of it and who knows i probley wouldnt had any of them . just me .  ok iam going now hope your meds takes thoses darn pvc away God bless you

The same with me. It's kind of like when I am stressing, I don't have them as much. lol It's too weird. My theory is that maybe our bodies have been accustomed to stress, so when we are stressfree..... our hearts still want to be stressed. ???? Does that make any sense? The way I see it... is like lets say... a drug.... you take it everyday and soon you can become immune to it. But... when u stop taking it...You have withdrawals. Well... stress... u have it for a while... and then when you don't... I think maybe our hearts are having withdraws. Call me crazy.... but.... when your docs don't tell you anything... u start making up your own ways of understanding your "problem". Anyhow.... I have been having a really horrible past few days with these pvc's. They're actually starting to cause tension in my neck, and shoulders and chest. Thank God I am seeing the dr today.... Maybe I can get some better answers. Cause today...... I am going to DEMAND them!!! So... did the ativan actually help with the pvc's? Or did it just help you to forget about them as much?

I am always having flushes, it is a sure sign out Anxiety. Sometimes it feels like someone has poured a hot cup of water on my face. Just keep telling yourself its anxiety and eventually it`ll go away.

Mine are pvc's, and I have only been taking half of a quarter of xanax which helps me a little bit. But, it's back in an hour or so. If I take a quarter, then it makes me feel too tired, and I have actually even passed out at my desk. lol! Does the ativan help with your pvc's?

I too have anxiety/pvc's. And I ALSO have 2 boys!!!! It's them!!!!!! No... just kidding. It's probably just the stress we go through everyday!!!! I mean, I worry alot!!! And, I had a horrible lifestyle growing up. Well, for instance... my children's husband used to beat me and verbally abuse me for 6 years. I was always sad and or mad, and kept it all inside, because I was never really allowed to voice my opinion. After I got the courage to leave him...2 boys later... I started having the anxiety. Feeling hot, not being able to breathe, anxious, etc. Then I developed mild pvc's. Since then (about 2 years ago) it has only gotten worse. The pvc's have become overwhelming. I have 10's of thousands a day, and EVERYDAY!!! I don't really have the anxiety that bad anymore, because I have learned how to overcome it for the most part. Taking a walk, a warm bath, listening to music... or even calling my mother who has it too seems to always help to bring me back to "normal". However...It is always easier said than done. Just try and hang in there, and know that you are not alone. Oh.... eating lightly, and not much carbs, and caffeine helps too. Try to avoid breads, pastas, caffeine. Also... someone gave me the idea to take a vitamin every day. Ya know what... remember those Flinstones vitamins we used to take as kids? Try em. They're fun and taste good. Good Luck, and keep in touch! ;)

I have found that our biggest problem is that we beat ourselves up when we have bad days and then start worrying about it and ask that same question over and over, "WHY???"   What to do?  Just accept it, don't question it, and let it be....we know what it is, and we will ride it out.....try doing this, I find that when you let "it" be your friend, it subsides.....

Try to take one day at a time. Just by reading your post you sound like your stressing.  You have alot going on. My anxiety does that to yestirday I was a wreck and today Im ok so far but it's morning.  Im stressing cause Im moving but I feel good cause my sister might take my puppie if she doesn't then I have to figure out something.  I don't like taking medication either for anxiety I try to fight it on my own but sometims I want to take it cause Im sick of living with anxiety.  I really want a better life like we all do.  Everything will work out for you. I hope your days will get better.  If I could I would start my life all over again and start from the beginning.
