Your daily life

Just curious how many here have fealable pvcs and pacs but still carry on your daily work load?  I am asking because I get them during the day now, just used to get them at night but I could see how these things could really disrupt ones life. I own and operate a lawn and landscape business and these things (about 4 a day while I am working) are really hard to ignore. Any tips?  I have had a couple of monitors in wich the first showed a pvc every 20th beat.  Not sure on the second one they just called  and said it was normal.   The first one was mor likely to be panic but nevertheless it was concerning to me.  I dont drink nor smoke no cofee nothing.  I have noticed if I am tired or panic look out here they come.  
I know I am supposed to ignore them but they sure do catch you off guard.
Thanks

Hi Frue,

I've had them all my life, even as a child, along with PSVT and just learned to live with it. It IS annoying; it CAN be frightening and SOMETIMES it's tiring. My method (or madness) for dealing with it is "compassionate carrying on". I ignore them and go on about my daily life whenever I can and try very hard NOT to "quack myself", BUT if I am feeling very tired, very frustrated or a little anxious, I simply give in and treat myself with care as I would someone else suffering from the same thing. I give myself permission to sit down, lay down or take a nap -- as well as tak an occasional ativan, which takes the edge off AND reduces the number of PACs/PVCs and as well as episodes of PSVT. And, if it is absolutely necessary, I do call my cardio for reassurance or to have him help me make a decision as to whether or not to go in to see him or go to the ER during prolonged episodes of PSVT. I make a point of eating well, getting plenty of rest, meditating regularly and getting moderate exercise, all of which make me feel better and reduce my episodes. I also spent about 3 months in a Cognitive Behavioral Therapy program with a wonderful psychologist who specializes in stress and health related issues and this helped me find the balance I need to enjoy a productive life despite the frustrations of a "restless heart". I used to hide my condition, but now mention it casually to friends and co-workers so that they understand that sometimes my life is bit more "off-beat" than normal.

I've also had arrhythmias all my life so I'm pretty comfortable with all the thumps, flutters and chest cramps. Generally, they come and go so quickly I barely pause in what I'm doing and then keep going. Only if my tachy (my fast heart rate) stays for a bit, I might casually sit down and wait it out. I work with wildlife and that can be stressful and physically demanding at times but I've been at it for over 18 years now. So the crazy heart hasn't slowed me down too much.
