Do frequent pvc's or pac's cause this...

For the past week, I have had very frequent irregular heartbeats. Not the occasional few a day, but every few beats all day.   I was wondering if they cause fatigue,leg weakness, head pressure. Generally feeling very poor.  I am 28 years old with a clean bill of health, besides these pac's or pvc's.  Can these things make me feel this bad, or does it sound like something else? Thank you

Now this is the problem I have with health care providers.  I have NEVER in my life planned when to get sick.  But when I did take sick I could not get in to see the doctor until a couple weeks, by then I would "get better".  So, when I finally go in to see the doctor he would say, "So what are you here for??"  Never once when I responded "Because I was sick two weeks ago and your office would not give me an appt then to see you then.", would the doctor figure out what I was saying.  Now, I have changed primary care doctors, the current one has one day of the week set aside for current patient walk in only.

The whole stuffy head thing does make it sound like a flu/cold kind of thing.  Hope you get better quickly.

If you feel that bad and are worried it is another arrythmia, and your doctor can't see you until the 24th then maybe you could consider going to your local ER. They will most likely stick you on a monitor and be able to tell you if what you are feeling is frequent PVC's or some other arhythmia. I don't think another arrythmia could last for a week. Or are you worried you are getting another arrythmia intermittently...on and off over the course of the week rather than constantly. In which case they would only catch it in the ER if you were having symptoms at the time.

In mid May I had blood work done, urine done, I have had 2 echo's , stress test, a few monitors, in the past year.  I called my primary, and he seemed like he could not do anything for me. I also called the cardio, and they can't see me until the 24th.  I am just concerned that I may be experiencing some other arrhythmia.  My cardio, does not think I should be this symptomatic to these irregular heartbeats, but I keep telling her I am, and how they make me feel.

Just to add it might be best to get checked over by your doctor. Hopefully he or she can put your mind at ease.

Perhaps you have a virus or something that is causing the fatigue, head pressure etc. Many people find that their PVC's are worse when they have a cold or other virus.
