I just want to know how I can accept that these PACs are not dangerous?  I have read soooo much on them and everything says they will not hurt you.  But everytime I feel a thump in my chest, I get scared that my heart will stop or go into some lethal arrythmia.  I have never had these before and all of a sudden here they are....How can I accept that they are benign??

I know the feeling Crystal. Today and last night have NOT been good for me PVC-wise. I wonder too how they can NOT be dangerous and right now, I am scared silly. I should practice what I preach here and try to relax, but, as I have said in the past, once I have a few I am off to the races and I can not think straight. I am a mess.

Of course, my stress was just raised one more level, if that is possible. My kitty, who has never been sick has developed some health issure involving her bladder and I am not sure what the vets will do, I may have to go out of town of the one in this small town can not help. I am really worried, so, this is not helping either.

Anyway, we have to hang in there, if docs say they are benign, I guess they are, but, it is sure hard to believe. Like I said, I am sitting here feeling like a time bomb.

I will check that site, dolfnlvr, maybe it will help me too.

Hi there.  I want to direct you to a conversation that was held on the forum just a short while ago.  You can cut and paste, or click on this link http://www.medhelp.org/posts/show/674725?personal_page_id=9026&post_id=post_3612569 and read several responses to a similar question.  The original posting regarded PVC's, but since PAC's and PVC's have the same "causes" and similar etiologies (presentations) this group of posts should be very helpful to you.

Take care.
