More ?'s about pac's pvc's
I would like to say how much I admire your willingness to take time out of your day to answer questions.
I can say how grateful I am to have this outlet.I have gained much insight.My fear is still there but it helps to know I am not alone.
I have panic disorder& I had a terrible bout of pac's pvc's after a day of dehydration.exhertion.
I am deconditioned but am active and losing steadily.
I am 28 years old,do not drink,no drugs,never ever coffee have not drank soda since 1987,no chocolate.Mother of 5.
have had numerous ekgs,countless blood tests,my numbers are 160& 71 & the doc says I need to get my one number down.My fatty blood tests have been 200- 230 since age18.
I am currently battling a bout of bronchitis, 2 weeks which I think is caused from allergies/gerd.
questions?
can improper sleeping/anxiety cause muscle smasms in the left chest above the breast?I get scared because it feels like my heart when in good sense I know its muscular?
Can bronchitis cause&increase in pvc's when you are not rested&even though I am staying very hydrated I am just not hungry/ am afraid to eat for fear of triggering skips.
I notice more pvc's when I have eaten a banana-conincidence or something more?What causes muscle spasms in the chest(never no pain just see the skin)?
Is it possible that I have had pvc's for most of my life¬ know until I became hypervigilant to my body?
My holter recorded more pac's then pvc's. any signifigance?
why do I get chest pains when I have gas,belching?
one day I ate barley,broccoli,salmon&20 mins I was in pain&loose stools,then ok

PACs in particular are caused by cardiac tissue foci...an established fact. They will cause PACs and lone AFib...an established fact. They are postural in their behavior, with slouching a typical pro-PAC position. They turn on with adrenaline. They are controlled to some degree with meds and diet. End of story. Can't live with them, then get rid of them.
Understand the basics and you've got them controlled. Ignore the basics and live with anxiety.
These buggers can be modified to some degree with hard exercise, meds and unusual diets (herbs, vitamins, minerals)...but you can only get rid of them with an ablation...which is becomming more popular as the techniques and hardware advance...discuss this option with an EP and see if it's feasible in your case. I had lone AFib, cured it with ablation, live with 0-5 PACs/min every day, exercise violently and enjoy life thoroughly. Only got past that anxiety tunnel after about one year of learning what I have and what it means.

Yes, I certainly remember that my cardiologist told me that stress and extreme anxiety can cause a-fib. However, I had no clue it could also cause fatal v-fib, nasty. However I can tell you people that there was a case in Oslo some time ago were police said a man was actually scared to death by a criminal. The guy I recall was owing a substantial amount of money, and because he couldn't pay he was threatened in the most grotesque way. According to police his heart had stopped beating because of the extreme fear and anxiety that he experienced. Maybe because he went into v-fib?
Just imagine how much suffering could be avoided could we just learn to lower over stress levels and calm down!

I just wanted to say thank you for all your responses...
even though some of things I do not like to read but it is ever so true that thought of mind can trigger just as certain foods..our mind is a very powerful thing...
I am beginning to take small steps..it is difficult but we all got to start somewhere...
for me all the physical symptoms keep me in the what if thinking pattern..and my thoughts are what I must control..
I have intrusive thoughts which probably rule the panic most..
who knows..
thinking outloud..I have been sick and was in the er the other night for vertigo..so now because of the virus I developed an inner ear infection..so to say the least it has not helped..but all in all..I actually feel calmer then usual..after I got over the fact..that this spinning was not a stroke..
talk about scared..the body can throw off some nasty symptoms to make us think other...

I stand corrected....I found this on a med site...."Lone atrial fibrillation" is what you are probably talking about norge...

Chronic atrial fibrillation is the most common heart rhythm disturbance and is usually due to some underlying cardiovascular condition such as mitral valve prolapse or stenosis, coronary artery disease or hypertension. "Lone atrial fibrillation" refers to an episode of fibrillation that lasts for a few hours or days, rarely recurs more than three times a year, and is not associated with any cardiac abnormalities. Both forms of atrial fibrillation can be triggered by caffeine, nicotine, an overactive thyroid and other influences that increase sympathetic nervous system activity.
Stress is the most powerful sympathetic nervous system stimulant The associated release of adrenaline and similar hormones accelerates heart rate and promotes not only atrial, but also ventricular fibrillation, which can be fatal. In addition, stress can also lead to increased hyperactivity of the thyroid, cigarette smoking caffeine consumption, hypertension and other risk factors for fibrillation.

peco,
If you look through the postings on atrial fibrillation in this very forum you will se that the cardio doctors reply that a-fib can occur in structurally normal hearts and that such episodes may be triggered by coffeine, alcohol, stress etc......I still believe that I and the doctors are right

they will not be able to tell if you have WPW unless they catch you with a recording during an "episode" or induce the arrythmia....
