palpitations

[dmil241]

OK, everyone. I am just about at the end of my rope. Since my gallbladder surgery last August, I have had very few palpitations normally and they have been pretty easy to ignore. However about 6-8weeks ago, they started up again daily. It started out that they would be every morning within an hour of waking up and lasting until mid-afternoon. About 2 nights ago, they started up while I am sleeping and they are waking me up. I am so tired. Now they are coming everytime I even try to lay down and rest a bit in the afernoon. Does anyone else go through this? I am not really scared of them anymore. I just HATE them very much! I lay in bed and roll over and try to get back to sleep, but everytime I start to drift off I can feel them again. They are so annoying!

Hi there, when you say palpitations do you mean PVCs? I too suffer from the beasts and it has been a week where they seem to kick in just as i'm about to go to sleep!! for the past week i have been getting very little sleep because of them. The more tired i am the more i get!! I find that when they start if i sit up in bed and cough deeply or walk around a bit then they sometimes stop.

I am not really sure if they are PVCs or PACs. I can't tell the difference myself and while I have been documented as having both, I seem to have more PACs. The only thing which seems to work for me right now is getting up and walking around. Too bad I can't do that in my sleep! If they last much longer, I might just learn!:(
