atrial fibrillation?? please, please help.........

my heart feels weak and tingly all the time like it is half beating. my heart rate varies a lot between 60 beats and 160 beats a minute regularly and i sometimes get an aching in my heart like its struggling to beat and hesitating midbeat. i also get definative PVC's and PAC's that i can feel coming ten beats before  it happens because my heart feels more and more tingly and weak then. i also have general fatigue. i know this is all from my severe benzo withdrawal but my question is does this sound like atrial fibrillation or heart failure? my it also messes with my heart big time just to turn over in bed. i heart constantly feels like this and i can't find any arrythmea that describes the constant nature of what i'm feeling.ts driving me crazy feeling every beat of my heart like this all day long.  also if i'm not having fainting or swelling anywhere does this mean its not life threatening? this is really freaking me out, please help.........has anyone else ever experienced this???

When I experienced a fib it was a rapid, irregular beat.  If you feel you have a problem that may be life threatening, see a doctor NOW.  Good luck.

It does seem like arrhythmia.  Again, for me my a fib was an rapad and irregular.  I could not describe my situation as having a predictable heart beat.  
Like the previous post, anxiety does play a role.  The important thing, particularly since you don't have another heart in reserve, see a doctor as soon as possible.

Please don't worry. Worry causes anxiety and you deserve better than that. Worry means doing nothing and you have it within your control to do something. Go to the doctor, but before you do that, stop all worry. It accomplishes nothing.
