it's a great list, isn't it! I loved it, it should be on top of the forum, forever, for all to see :)
I'm almost at #8, but falling back to # 6/7 at times... it's a working progress :) you will get there one day, good luck on your journey :)
I am still stuck on #6 but I only recently started noticing my PAC's ( about 6 months now) so I hope to be able to move on with my life.
I am just waiting to see if I ever experience the "lull" that people talk about where it will go dormant for awhile, so far mine only seem to be getting worse.
I sometimes have them every other beat but most times I just have them sporadically.
just bumping this thread up. the list provided by skippi a few posts above really helps me. it should be read by everyone diagnosed with benign PAC/PVC.
This past Sunday was my second trip to the emergency room only to be sent home with the diagnosis of, "It's only PVC's." How frustrating and scary at the same time. I am a long time sufferer of panic disorder. I can deal with panic attacks but this is new. It's uncomfortable and scary, and I'm just trying to find something to help me get through this. My first line of comfort is always God. My first visit to the emergency room was in December. I had them that one day and not again until this Sunday. I am especially paying attention to the possibility of these symptoms dealing with my hormones. I noticed last time was within the week before my period, and, this time is a week before my period. The list really helped me calm down. Thank you to all who posted.
I do have chest soreness too, and sometimes pain when lying down. I have a tendency to lay on my side with my hand balled up underneath my chest all night because I like the "bio-feedback" that comes from having my hand on my heat all night long. "so to speak" This does give me a sore chest wall as I'm always applying pressure to the chest area.
I would tend to think maybe for women that their breasts would get in the way from doing this. :)
Also sometimes when I take a rapid breath in I can feal some muscle pain on the left side as well. Sometimes my sternum cracks which releives pain too. I'll get a hitch/catch in the center chest area bending over or moving side to side, and my sternum will crack, like cracking your knuckles type of sound.
Hope this helps.. Zach
