pvs and the shakes

[moejoe1113]

I have had rapid hearbeats and pvcs since I was 30 years old.  I am now 43 and am having them again along with panic attacks.  I have had an echo cardiogram and an ekg.  Everything is fine so they say.  The pvc's scare me to death and now I have developed terrible shakiness that usually starts in the mornings and subsides as the day goes by.  I am conviced in my head that something horrible is wrong but cant seem to convince anyone else of this.  I am on prozac for anxiety, toprol to slow my heart beats, and Tetrazone to help me sleep.  I have never been on medications before and it is depressing me majorly to have to deal with this.  I try to focus on other things and am currently seeing a physcologist but nothing seems to be helping me alot.  I have my good days and bad and today is not one of my best.  I am shaky now like I have had a major dose of caffeine which I havent.  Dont drink it at all!  I have had all tests done but everthing is ok.  Any suggestions on what I can do to help with this.  It is getting very old!

Hmmm.  I'm not sure what that could be.  I realize that is no help, but with all those things checking out as A-OK, I'm not sure WHY you would have involuntary shakiness.  Usually that is associated with an overabundance of caffeine, an intolerance to some drugs or low blood sugar levels.  Given that you say this starts in the a.m. I went to blood sugar.

Do you take your meds in the a.m.?  Prozac can make you jittery when you first start taking it.

G'luck.

Not during the time that Im shaking but it has been checked while fasting and was normal.  Ive also had my thyroid level checked which was all good.  Maybe I will have it checked when Im actuallly having the shakes but eating doesnt seem to make any difference.  Its really strange to me but it started about the time that I started have these panic attacks so I assume it must be related.  However, the panic attacks have gotten better since I started the Meds.

Have you had your blood sugar levels tested when you are shaky?
