PVC"S and anxiety
by Carlski, Oct 24, 2007 08:43PM
Has anyone been diagnosed with PVC"S? I have been getting them recently and they are driving me absolutely crazy. I used to get panic attacks years ago...and I have read that is a common factor with people. Mainly I want to know what I should do about them. I have worn the holter monitor, had an echo and stress test. These are aweful....like my heart is doing a flip in my chest every minute of the day. It's almost torture. I was on Inderal and that did nothing so I am off of that now. Any help out there would be great!

If you've had the tests and the doctors tell you that you're heart if fine, the best thing to do about pcs's is too ignore them. I get them and thinking about them, worrying only make them seem worse. Please just RELAX and know that they won't harm you. The more you can just forget and get on with your life, the better you'll feel. Don't use pvc's as an excuse for feeling bad about yourself. Just move on. That's the best you can do.

i can identify w/ you, i get PVC's every day, all day long and have had the same tests you have had, all of them were normal but i still have the pvc's, they just won't go away. i am on Atenolol, but so far it is not helping, the doctor told me today to increase it but my main concern is why is this going on? i cannot seem to get a straight answer out of any doctor and going to the Er was not a good idea, they made me wait for 3 hours just to be told it would be another 2 to 3 hours before i would be seen, you would think they would have been more concerned than that but oh no! and as i am typing this, i am having pvc's like crazy. i really don't know what to do now but i do know i cannot live w/ these for the rest of my ife. i have had the,m many times beofr and they have always gone away but i am going on a week and a half of nonstop ones. i definitely know and understand what you are going through!

try a low dose beta blocker like 25mg of atneolol. it will help with the anxiety and with the PVCs! also please anyone suffering stress and anxiety add madnessium everyday and see if you see a difference. I take a liquid by Kal that is 600 calcium 325 mag with vitamin D it had made a difference for 100% I have IST which is inapropriate sinus tachycardia! It has made more of a difference then anything it had actually helped me get some quality of life back! I am 26 F

I have a prescription for a low dosage of xanax. I take 1/2 a pill if the PVCs get bad. It works well for me. It helps me cope with them and also it seems to make them less frequent.
