Im a 31 yr old female with a history of Pvcs.I have a cadio DR. and have been seeing him for the last year. I have had echo,stress and holitor in dec, and just found pvcs which i have been told are they safe kind. My questions is when do they become serious? In the last few weeks they have been coming in runs lasting 45 min or longer with weakness afterwards. Then i have them the rest of the day really knocking hard. I have become very nervous now not leaving my house. I have been on Klonipin 5mg for over 2 years for panics. I fell im hanging on a thread.
Thanks for listianing. Dawn

Dear Dawn,
I too have had PVC's for years, but only recently have they been coming in runs like you explained. I'm 32 years old and have also been seeing a cardiologist on a regular basis for the past year. I've had all the tests, but I just have this feeling that something is wrong! I have been experiencing the PVC's over and over agian for minutes at a time and then I won't have any or only a few for the rest of the day. When I experience them in runs (non-stop for long periods) I feel clammy and white. I also feel exhausted following a day like that. I just had an episode like that this morning. Have you ever experienced runs of PVC's like this? I feel like my heart will never get back into a normal rhythm! I don't see how this can be considered benign and normal???

Dear Christy, Im glad you wrote to me . They scare the hell out of me. I cant understand if there is so many of us why there is not more info out there. i went to the Dr again this afternoon and he wants to do more test like a THALLIUM and another holtor. He doesnt want to give meds due to the bad side effects. Whats worse? Well feel free to email me the more i hear from people with my same problem the moe ease i feel. Thanks, Dawn
