Palps/Bending over

[finetilthree]

Does anyone know why bending over at the waist brings on PACs or PVCs?  Seems like almost every time I bend over to pick up something off the floor I get a burst of PACs when I stand up.  It is freaking me out.  Also happens if I sit or lay down too quickly.  Please help.

i didn't realise the same thing has happened to you. I don't know about you but i can't trust any docs now. I get so frustrated when talking to them, its like they don't know how to LISTEN to patients and they find it so hard to believe them, they find it much easier to blame it on anxiety, stress and depression. Truth is i became very anxious, depressed and stressed because i was left dealing with my heart racing at 200 bpm by myself, too afraid to go back to the docs because i didn't like the way they looked at me and told me "it's all in your head" or "you need to snap out of it"

NO WONDER you are frustrated!!  A doctor told you that your were paranoid and you were right all along....Just goes to show we are our own best advocates.  That said, if you are comfortable with your current doctor, it really will behoove you to trust him/her on this one.  An occasional checkup helps too : )

I don't know about anyone else but i look forward to reading your posts everyday. You do seem to have alot of knowledge and it is appreciated by many i'm sure. I know some of us seem to be asking the same qs over and over again but i think that is because we need time. Hopefully all of us will get through this but it cannot happen straight away. I do know that when i am having a bad day i feel so much better after posting here and reading all the comments including yours. I know i have made alot of progress and i've only been suffering for 3 months with the missed beats. i hope you continue to post.

You know when I first read your comments, I thought you were pretty snappy too and I was sort of hurt by your comment directed at me.  But now that I have read your latest post, I think you are absolutely right. Whether my weird heart happenings will kill me is yet to be seen, but I am basically wasting my life away doing exactly what you write of...
"Close the search engine, the medical journal, the forums, and whatever else. Stop trying to find ways you can validate your fears of death, because thats hurting you far more than the pvcs." And you are right... I need to get better for my kids more than for anyone else.  I am all that they have and I need to focus in on that fact and put an end to my obsession.  When this started 8 months ago, I was having horrible panic attacks that lasted for weeks.  I shook all the time and was afraid to move out of my bed.  When I finally got out of my bed, I had to run every day, get in the car and drive around just so I would be around people if I died so someone would call 911.  I would always drive around in neighborhoods close to my own because there is a fire dept. every couple of miles and I was thinking that if anyone could save me, the paramedics could.  And then, I took control and stopped the running and convinced my brain to face it.  I broke my panic attacks all by myself with no medication.  I told myself that my mind is stronger than my body.  Then I have slipped backwards and have become almost afraid to leave my house to do anything.  I only get groceries every 3 weeks or so.  So once again, I will try to take control and help myself.  I know my brain is stronger than this.  I have wasted so much of my new baby's life living in fear and I won't ever be able to get all this time back that I lost.  Thanks for your comments that I resented.  You are right and I am gonna try harder to beat this ****. Hell, it's Friday night, maybe I'll take my kids to the movies.

thats so great to hear!!!! Thats why i try and be blunt, because i personally believe, practice, and feel, to get better, you have to face the reality.. That brought such a big smile to my face, and im sure it will bring even bigger smiles to your childrens faces! If you feel overwhelmed, dont feel like you have to go it alone.. THATS what this forum is for, a place to vent and find support in the context of healing, i just get sad when i see it used as a place to feed eachothers sickness, and its so easy to fall into that pattern unless you literally pull yourself out by your boots..Have you tried talking to a counselor yet? Sometimes, talking to someone who isnt struggling, and wont judge you, and can tell you as a professional what is happening to you mentally, can be so relieving and helpful! good luck!
