So as you may know, every now and then I get these strange beats. First off my heart will be beating fast due to panic or anxiety. It will throw a pvc every now and then. But then it will throw what feels like the beginning of a pvc and it feels like my heart will kind of quiver at the top left and then ill cough and it will throw itself back into a normal (yet still fast) beat.
The reason I ask this is because my father has afib. His only come up like every couple of years though. He got his at about 45 years old.
Our family also has a history of Hyperthyroidism.
Could hyperthyroidism be making my heart beat so erratic? or should I fear the worst of Afib?
I told the doc about it and he said it sounded like SVT since I can make it cardiovert by a valvasa manuver (not sure how to spell it).
My grandfather on my dads side also died of heart disease. Of course he was waaaaayyyy overweight. ( he was the heaviest man in the army in WW2!)
Also, I have GERD from stress and that seems to bring on fast heavy beats also
What do you think?

I think that you are one lucky guy if your heart is re setting itself when it recognizes that something just isn't right w. the way it is beating.  We should all be so lucky cobaltkid.....

With that family history (which I hope you've told to your doc?), I think it would be sensible to ask your doctor all these questions.   Having treated you, he'd be in the best position to give you good answers, after all.
