Palpitations,PVC's & PAC's

[Jerzeegal]

I was so happy to find this forum. I have been so frustrated lately that I didn't know where to turn. I have been diagnosed with PVC's,PAC's and slight triscupid regurg.Also at one point I was told I have MVP but due to diagnostic criteria changing now they say I don't have it. Go figure. Until recently I wasn't bothered much and all cardiac tests were "normal" as well as a bunch of bloodwork. Lately tho I have noticed a sinking sensation and then what I can only describe as a funny feeling in my head. Kind of like a warm rush. My heart rate increases a little and I am more concious of it when this occurs. I don't take any meds yet because I have normally low blood pressure and a slow resting pulse (57). The episodes occur mostly when I am laying down either watching tv or when trying to fall back to sleep. It seems many doctors chalk this up to being caused by anxiety when in my opinion this produces anxiety. So I feel like I am stuck in a cycle I can't get out of. Any input would be greatly appreciated.

We talked before, and you had mentioned that your echo showed slight tricuspid regurgitation. Mine did also. I am having all of the same probs as you and mine have also been chalked up to anxiety. Have you noticed any change in your stool? mine has changed to an orangy yellow and have been having alot of them. been staying tired as well as foggy headed. They put me on tenormin (beta blocker) and klonopin for anxiety. Do you get short of breath?

I haven't noticed any changes in my stool but sometimes I am foggy headed, thats usually when I am really anxious. I do get short of breath if I am having a run of PACs or PVCs  or more like I can't breath deep enough.  Difficult to explain.  

Maybe the change in your stool is from medication you are on?
