lightheaded and dizzy

Can you have dizzy and light headed from  having pvc?
The dr. said to stop worrying that he felt they were nothing with seeing him and having a stress and echo done 7 months ago. and I have these since 1993. Why do you not have them for months and then you seem to have them all the time.How do you not worry and stress out over them.

Yes you can be lightheaded and dizzy  with PVC's,  my head symptoms are very strange, a sort of whooshing feeling and sometimes kind of prickly, but dont know how much of this is due to the stress of having the damn things!!
I dont know why they come and go, you get lulled into a false sense of security and then they are back for no apparant reason. I feel I could cope with them better if I didnt have the head sensations, at least you would only have one thing to cope with at once!! Its awful when you hve gone for a long time without them and they they start again, the longest I have been symptom free is 4 months, I seem to be 4months on and 4 off!!
There are so many people with this problem you would think they would have looked into the cause of it by now, but probably because they dont consider them to be a life threatening problem they dont think its worth it!!
Take care and try not to get too stressed, you are not  alone!!

Frustration I'm beyond that. When I call the Dr. the nurse said she would talk to the Dr. because I do take med and I forgot to take. she thought that was why I was having them again. So she told me to call back if I still had them. So I called back the next day because they were worse. It's just back and forth she would have to page the Dr. When she called back she said the Dr. said not to worry he was not concern call back if i have lightheaded and dizzy. other wise some worrying and go on.
None of that may be feel better. There taken over my lilfe and mood I don't want to do anything. When I told a friend about what was going  on she didn't believe that my heart was doing that. unless you have them or had them you don't know what were talking about.
like you there back with a vengeance I haven't had pvc for so long I forgot about pvc now it's like the first time I had them I'm back to square one.

I wish we all knew the answer to that question.  I haven't had PVCs since I was pregnant with my daughter 4 1/2 years ago.  Now they're back with a vengeance.  What has changed?  Nothing.

Yes, you can have lightheaded or dizzy feelings with PVCs.

As to how you stop worrying, I don't know.  I just made peace with all my PACs, now I have these again.  Which is the way of it; I make peace with one issue just in time for another to pop up.  Frankly I'm in a really bad mood about it, so I can relate to your frustration.
