Constant PACs All day, All night.

I don't know what is going on but I've been dealing with non stop PACs now for a few months. I've had them off and on for almost 5 years but never this bad. If I do get them, they usually last for several hours then quiet down. Now there non- stop even at night during sleep. I'm going to go in next week to get a new Holter monitor done to see what's going on.

This always happens but today I'm scheduled to get my 24hr holter monitor and of course after non stop PAC's for the last few months today I'm PAC free. I'm sure after I return the monitor the PAC's will start up again. I think the mind will play some sick tricks on us.

Glad to hear you are seeing someone about your pacs.  In an otherwise healthy heart they are not a threat to the overall health of your heart but since you are having so many it might be wise to also ask for an echo just to make sure your heart is in good running order.  Then I would also say take some time to find and eliminate any stress you may have in your life.  I know easier said than done but stress definitely makes the ectopics worse.  Well good luck with the holter and let us know how it comes out.  Take care and feel better soon.
