Heart Arrhythmia ( PVCs ) please Help ! :(

[Lucas2014]

Hello  I'm a 21 year old guy and I've been having heart palpitations ( PVCs more than 12 000 a day ) for the past four months . They have ruined everything in my life and I don't know what to do anymore !! doctors been telling how anxiety, stress  and caffeine and all the other stuff can cause them and it's okay to have them.  you just gotta have to ignore , that is soooo crazy !! because no matter how hard I try I can't ignore them :((  I feel everyone of these extra , skipped beats in my chest and they drive me crazy especially at night when I try to sleep .the head of my bed would start shaking from these extremely forceful beats and I get these fluttering feeling in my chest all the time . cant count the number of times I've been to the hospitals in the last four months !   but they usually send me back home saying it's probably the anxiety attack and my arrhythmia is benign , go home and rest don't think about it ! I mean Seriously  ??  i hate when they say that ! I feel so scared and I don't know where to go .
I didn't even know what the anxiety was ,   I was happy with my life , I used to go to the gym 4 - 5 times a day and I was in a great shape , not drinking or smoking never have , eating extremely healthy diet , why would I get these very frequent PVCs every day  ?  they are not able to tell me why ? there seems to be no reason  , all the tests came back normal , hormones and stuff . if it was from my anxiety can they last for this long  ?  4 months  ? will they ever go away  ? I wanna get my life back that happiness I had in me . please someone help , I don't wanna be scared like a baby but they freak me out . I know my heart isn't suppose to work like this . its not okay !!  how can they benign  ? I also take anti anxiety drugs Xanax 0.25mg at night but it's not helping me at all . please if there's someone out there help me to understand this .please :(

Hope you figure out how to get them under control soon. I'm 21 also and started having those same feelings about a year ago. I've been to the hospital plenty of times, just last week also. Results are always normal, besides the holter monitor showing pauses in my heart beat. No helpful advice yet but I see my cardiologist next week and hopefully will have some then. I was also told its most likely anxiety, which *****, because it's so hard to control. I read that certain breathing techniques and possibly yoga can help. Good luck !

I've been having PVC's & PAC's for about 20 years. Two years ago they started getting real bad like every other two or three beats with some couplets thrown in. They can last this bad for hours. I was use to the random beats, but this many scared me. Anxiety about them will make them worse. I have found that when I start feeling alot of skipping, the best thing I can do is get my mind on something else. I just had all the tests & there has been no change in my heart function, so these crazy beats do not harm your heart.
Some people find that taking extra magnesium helps. Good luck with your appt. & let us know how it goes.

Can anyone tell me if I should take calcium and vitamin d together ? Would they help with my pvcs ? Thanks

Thank you Elli ;) I'm really trying to calm down now after reading these posts , I'm be meeting another cardiologist in 10 days and I'll let you guys know how things will go. Im traveling far away to meet this doc ;))

Sometimes PVC PAC can be felt more after eating especially after a large meal because your stomach can be pressing against your vagus nerve. This is just another annoying post of the whole thing. You may want to check into managing your anxiety. And ask your doc about those beta blockers you may benefit from those since you have so many. Hang in there! Keep reading others posts and you will see how many of us suffer with these pain in the neck things, and some with many more than you even!
