erratic heart beat
by rebby30, Jan 13, 2009 02:24AM
Hi. I have been experiencing pacs and pvcs for years. I feel nearly every single one of them. I apparently have a structurally normal heart and have never taken meds. Today after eating my heart started beating in an erratic way...it wasn't a pac or pvc. This only lasted for about 10 seconds. I felt slightly dizzy after but don't know if it was just anxiety. 1.Is this erratic heart beat safe in a person with a srtructurally normal heart? 2.Has anyone died from pvcs or pacs because they have deteriorated into a more serious arrhythmia in a person with a structurally normal heart?

In addition to PVC's, I have atrial fibrillation from time to time. It's a very erratic heartbeat. Mine can last for seconds, minutes or as long as 12 hours. I always go back to a normal sinus rhythm on my own. I have been taking Amiodarone since July to help prevent it from happening again.
If it's been a while since your last check up, I'd go again and explain what you felt, just to be thorough.
I have had my heart checked a number of times in the past, the last time was about 2 and a half years ago. They always make me feel like a hypochondriac so i am fearful of returning. I have had these erratic heart beats in the past, but not for years. unfortunately, they have never been able to detect it on a monitor. As i do not know much about arrhythmias i am assuming that atrial fibrillation is dangerous as you are taking preventative medication.Is this till the case in the setting of a structurally normal heart? Sorry to harp on about the SNH thing, but it's just what the Doctors keeps reiterating .
