Im a 28 yr old male. I supposedly have PAC's of the heart, suffer from anxiety disorder, have GERD (acid reflux), have a hiatal hernia and recently found out i have a 1 inch size cyst on my thyroid. I take 40 mg nexium, 0.5mg of xanax and 25mg metoprolol.
My heart feels like it stops and restarts constantly. I was told by my cardiologist that I have PAC's. I can understand that and agree with him but im worried. My left arm sometimes feels like I have pressure in my hand and shoulder, its sort of hard to explain the feeling. I had an MRI to see if i had a pinched nerve which came back negative. It feels like my veins hurt. Anyway, the skipped beats I feel happen OFTEN. I have them one right after another sometimes for a minute straight. Throughout the day I would say I have about 3000-4000 skipped beats(PAC). The metoprolol Im taking was supposed to help but it hasnt done anything for me. I had a lot of tests done, ecg, ekg, holter, nuclear stress test, regular stress test, heart sonogram. The thing is, i never have the PAC's when I have the tests done, even the 24hr holter. They caught a couple of PAC on an ekg once but that was it. Im really scared because it feels like my heart is slowly getting worse. When I exert myself it seems to get worse which contadicts the PAC diagnoses. Im really scared that the doctors are missing something and Im going to have a heart attack or an underlying heart issue.
Can anyone else relate to this? Does anyone else get left arm pains/pressure feelings?
