I can't sit down or lie down without getting these horrible thumps. This has been going on for 4-5 hours now.
Update: I had another episode today when I was in class. It was really bad. Like really really bad. I was getting a PVC every 5-10 seconds and this went on for like 20-30 minutes. I don't know what's going on, they've never been so bad before.
Update: I went to urgent care because I couldn't take it anymore and they referred me to a cardiologist. Honestly I try to stay away from doctors as much as I can these days but they insisted that I go get a bunch of tests done.
When I was having PVCs every 4th or 5th beat constantly I was having trouble sleeping as well. I ended up taking a sleeping pill to help (it did). I wouldn't rule out that option. I also found that I could feel them less in certain positions. Makes me wonder if a vibrating bed might not be a bad idea!
Since then, I've gotten much better at ignoring them. It's really hard to ignore, trust me I know, but slowly I seem to be getting better and better at it.
I'm thinking of going to one of those walk-in urgent care clinics at this point because this has been going on for too many hours. Something is wrong.
Thank you for your response. I'm not stressed or anxious (just annoyed by these annoying things that keep destroying my life, every chance they get). My PVCs are purely positional. I had some ginger tea an was able to get a little bit of sleep, but now they're back again :(.
