Return of skipped beats

Does anyone ever have the pvcs and PACs and the tachycardia disappear for a while and then they come back? It's so frustrating I don't know what to do. Am on inderal verapamil and Xanax. But right now nothing helps. They seem to be worse when I lean on my left elbow or wear the wrong bra or pants. Does that make sense to anyone?

I was tested for lymes (caused by babesia correct?).  I was negative on all five titers.

My wife titered positive on there, and diagnosed with it, but didn't have any heart palps or anxiety.

I wonder how many people here have babesia ducani.  It  is a tick borne infection that causes a-fib, svt and also significant bouts of anxiety associated with the heart palpitations.  It is treated with malarone (a specific antibiotic), artemesia (an herb you can buy at high end vitamin sellers), and other antibiotics.   If you have babesia duncani, you will respond right away and know you have the infection.  Sometimes symptoms can get worse as the infection dies off but after that you will have much less symptoms.

I remember once placing my left arm harder than normal onto a table, elbow first as if to hold up my head, and BOOM, PVCs out of nowhere.  And I held it there because I had been trying to figure out this dang crap for so long and here I was making them happen.  I then lifted my elbow, and they stopped.  crazy stuff.  

Anyways, mine come and go too.  Could never explain why.
