Abnormal Arrhythmias?
Hello everybody,
I am a 25 yr old male. I have already had a echo stress test and passed just fine about 9 monhts ago. I have been battling with palpitations for about 1.5 years. I went to the doctor this week because I was tired of the palpitations and wanted to have a difinitive answer to what they really are. So He put me on a 24 hour holter monitor and it picked up several of my palps.
He said that I have a few abnormal Arrhythmias and that he wants me to visit an electrocardiologist to get more details on them and maybe take some more tests. They were NOT PAC's or PVC's, but hes not too worried about it and just wants some additional information about them. He told me there non-fatal but worth looking at. So here is my question, if there not PVC's or PAC's...what else could it be? I'm trying my best to not explode with anxiety and fear but I just dont know what this means for me? Does anybody have thoughts?

See what the EP says...from my experience they may actually BE PVCs or PACs...my cardio told me from a 24 hr monitor that I had a short run of NSVT...IT TOTALLY FREAKED ME OUT FOR TWO WEEKS!!!
Later the EP said it likely wasn't even NSVT...but a run of PACs...not sure how the first guy missed this.
What he saw could be any number of benign arrhythmias.
Good luck

Thanks so much wildcat!!!
The person who told me this info was just my normal doctor (Internal medicine), and he didnt think they were serious but is referring me to an Electrocardiologist within the next few weeks. I dwell on the anxiety a lot, but I know hes not a specialist, and I appreciate your thoughts! I will be optomistic about it and keep on keeping on!!! :)
