I have been having a problem that I hope you can help me with. I'm a 35 white male with a 5 year history of PVC's (though they are way fewer than they used to be, not sure why but i'll take it)
I am roughly still 100 pounds over weight, I have lost over 30 pounds so far. My diet is ultra-healthy and I exercise (cardio and weights) 4 or 5 days per week. I actually have a long history of working out, but never paid mind to my diet until this year.
My symptoms have been... a slightly slow pulse (50-55 at rest), cold hands, slow thinking, trouble thinking, feeling out of it (etc), as well as this odd breathless feeling that I get on and off...at rest or when active, but not worse when active...it's just on it's own.
I have never had any of these symptoms independent of the others on the list. THey are all or nothing. Just to be sure I wasn't over training, I rested completely like a total couch potato for 2 weeks with no change, in fact, maybe a little worse. When I work out, my pulse still rises normally as best as I can tell and I don't feel any chest pain. Actually, it seems more likely that PVC's want to happen when my pulse is slower than faster.... I have noticed since this stuff all started that when I do get a random PVC it seems to hit MUCH harder than normal..feels more like a literal kick than just a quick flutter.
In the past (couple years ago) my TSH was measured at 7.6, but it returned to normal without treatment or explanation the next month. I haven't gone to my doctor for this yet, BUT, I am wanting to ask you , assuming that I go get the standard EKG / Chest Xray / CBC / CMP / thyroid tests done and these are all normal, what would you think at that point? Would there be something to do with my heart or a metabolic investigation of some sort to look into if the standard tests are normal? By the way, I have already had a stress echo done a few years ago (due to the PVC history) and it was super-normal
