I Have Been Having them Really Bad the Last few days, one right after the other for a long time. Today for the last 3 Hours. I have a Cardioligist Appointment set up for the 4th. I had a Ablation Surgery about 6 to 7 years ago, the Dr said it could come back because it was so deep in my heart and it was hard to get too. I do no what your going through and it does suck. I am so sick from these, i am ready to scream. I will pray for you.
Thank you so much for your kind words! :)
Count me on that bus. After almost a year of hardly anything, they are back and worse than ever. I am having the ones on top of each other, ones felt in the throat, ones that make me cough.....I am having a PLETHORA of different fun things. But, I have a new job, love it, and so toooooooo baaaaaaaaad. I'm gonna be happy.
ha ha rita you made me laugh! Great attitude :)
I'm on that bus too.
On top of that, my ob/gyn took me off my birth control pill last month and now I get hot flashes with the skips. Ughhhhh...I'm messed up.
I don't like this getting older thing. I am certain that these increased pvc's are hormone and stress related. The reason I think this is because when I'm having a good spell (and it can last years) with just a few pvc's a day, I eat chocolate, drink martinis etc and it does not increase my pvcs.
But when something really stressful happens (like 3 months ago when I lost my 11 year old golden retreiver) the skips started.
Today, at Target, they start up. Then I get really hot. Then I'm sure I will die. I didn't.....blah..blah..blah

I hear ya! I am convinced hormones play a big role, too. I've also expressed that during the good times, I can drink 6 cups of coffee a day, lie on any side, drink and exercise with nothing....then something stressful happens like I get a horrible job and it all starts up again. Well, I found a nice job now, so I am hoping after my initial debriefing, they will go back from whence they came! YAY go me!
Hi ladies, I agree with JK this gettin older thing is highly overrated. I too get the skips then the ever so fun hot flashes and am totally convinced that the hormone fluctuation is a contributing factor. Also I have never been a good sleeper and in the winter especially will only average about 3 to 4 hours a night. Since starting menopause this has only gotten worse. The hormones, lack of sleep, stress ( also just started a business ) and crummy diet have wreaked havoc on my life in general. I'm trying to control all the things I can control...diet and sleep for instance and trying to deal with the things I can't like the hormones. Reading all the posts on here have helped greatly and given me hope that at 53 I don't have to cash in my chips just yet and can really live with this mess and not let it totally destroy my quality of life.
