pvc and pac

[caleycan]

i am a 26 yr old man who has just recently started having pvc's and pac's and tachycardia. i haven't exercised because i get nervous when the palpatations start coming. it's been 5 mths since i have exercised well or regularly. i had normal echo, stress test (tredmill), holter and blood work. i have a mother and sister who also have my situation with their hearts. there are days when they go mad, happening all the time and i feel them in my chest, that makes me feel like i will die. i saw my cardiologist recently for a talk and she said that i had nothin to worry about and that i should live a normal life.
1-when i drink they happen constantly...should i stop (only have 3 or 4 maybe)
2-i played softball this weekend for the first time in 2 years (tring to overcome my fears) and whenever i ran from 1st to home i got pains in my chest all across the front buy they stoped pretty soon after i stoped running (should this concern me?)
3-last night i got freaked cause on every hicciup i had i got a pvc, i felt in my chest and i could also feel a very long pause in my pulse...is there a risk my heart could stop on these long pulses?
4-i want a normal life, i want to exercise and be happy again. please help me to understnad why i shouldn't fear dying from this. i feel the doctor has meissed all of the palpiatations i have that are the ones that are dangerous. i think they missed something on my tests tat is important.
5-i am new to all of this and i don't understnad why i shouldn't worry about them, it feels really BAD and SCARY and my palps are very unassuring.

HELP

Hey everyone...just after I posted my last message my cardiologist called with the result of my 48 hour heart monitor from a few days ago. No A-Fib...but definitely PVCs and one recorded incident of non-sustained ventricular Tachycardia...I am a little scared as I don't see my electrophysiologist until next week...anyone have some words of wisdom/comfort they can share???

thanks

Do you have a family history of a fib? It's weird and not very assuring to me that all of your work ups came back great and then BOOM a fib. That scares me, it's what i fear, something happening after all the check ups. Arg, it is another thing to think about. I hope your doing well now, what did they say they think triggered it? Ttyl

celeste...where is your cardiologist located? thanks for the info...:)

Hi everyone

My palps are sometimes triggered by reaching for something, bending down or bending over or picking up something semi-heavy...I got them really bad the other day just by picking up my 30lb 3 year old son! Sometimes it is the strangest thing that brings them on. It seems there are days when I am more sensitive to them, where every move I make, they start up. No rhyme or reason.
