Hi there. I'm a 33 year old woman and for the past week, i've been having PVC/PACs every day. I don't drink coffee or soda and eat well for the most part. I feel the pause in the heartbeat followed by a strong heartbeat and assume that it is PVC. I've seen my primary care physician and he's referred me to a cardiologist. I'm still waiting for an appointment. My doctor was unable to hear the pause, as it did not occur in the office. It usually occurs while i'm just relaxing, in the car, watching tv, reading, knitting, standing around, etc. If my mind is not completely occupied, then i notice it. I've read forums and "know" i'm not supposed to worry, but it's so hard when i've been feeling these for a week straight now. They occur sometimes 2x a minute for hours on end. Then i'll get a break in the day where i only feel a few, then again all night - 2x a minute or 1 every 2 minutes, etc. The doctor did check my blood and found my iron levels and red blood count to be very low. He says i'm anemic and to take iron suppliments. Any thoughts?
Thanks!
