PVC's/ PAC's
I'm 33 years old when I was 27 I had a short episode of A-fib my Cardiologist though it was holiday heart. After that short episode I was never troubled by any arrhythmias until three months ago I started having palpatations. My Cardiologist put me on a 24 hour monitor which reveled 20,800 superventricular beats and 1,800 pvc's. All my lab results where normal,nuclear stress test normal,echo normal.My Cardiologist recommeded a wait and see approach since I had no other symptoms. My only other medical problem is HTN for which I take 150mg Avapro.I'm not over weight, don't smoke and don't drink anymore. My question is.
1. Should I consider medication to suppress the arrhythmias?
2. Does this predispose me to going into other A-fib episode?
3. Would sugery be an option should this continue?
Thank you!

There are many physicians who read and follow medical help sites. It gives us more insight into our patients' concerns and fears. Thought you should know this the next time you choose to generalize about our manipulative motives.
Sorry to have invaded your space.
Peace, and may God be with you.

If you are indeed a dcotor you are very immature for being one.
You should go back to school for some "Courtesy 101". You may be booksmart, but you lack people skills. You are on a site that has an opinionated group of people posting comments and helping one another. The doctors who answer questions on this site are fine with us, so why should we care what you think?

wasn't seldane pulled off the market. I know it was a prescription I had some. But it was pulled and they said it was a dangerous drug and that there could be some problems from that drug.
Erik,
I also enjoy reading your comments, which are always well researched. You're a very caring person and always willing to help out. Bless you. Sorry I made that "cardiac neurotics" crack a few weeks ago. That was very inconsiderate of me.
I've had PACs/palpatations for 30 years and afib for at least three years that I know of (I actually think I had afib off and on for decades but could never catch it on a Holter). I feel pretty good right now at age 62 with the help of Rythmol, which is keeping me in NSR (at least most of the time).
Best regards to you and Hank,
Tony
