Oh goodness, I just had the longest heart stop. FREAKED me out. I swear--I would rather feel the rotten frequent pvcs than whatever that LOOOOONG pause what. How is it you can feel your heart stop without touching your wrist. Did i panick---oh yes. Did I feel for a pulse? After I prayed, then said to myself--while it was still stopped (or felt like it)--then I felt for the pulse and think I felt a light beat but was so panicked that it wasnt untill my heart was racing from fear that I relaxed.
;>) I've wanted to post that exact thing SOOOOO many times. Too funny! <3
I understand that there are triggers that make these thing worse, but sometimes I wonder how much of it is a mental cycle. You go along with many things on your mind, you're busy and don't really pay them much attention and then one day you start to have too much time on your hands and start giving them more attention than they deserve. For me, I'm very uncomfortable during this part of the cycle and think about them way too much until I get tired of the whole situation and just get used to them again and get busy with other things. Then the good part of the cycle starts again. The one constant is the PVC's, they're always there it's just a matter of how much I think about them.
I don't know, I could be way off base:)
pvcs are worse too when coming down sick, when actually sick, when recovering from being sick, before your period, or during your period, or after your period, or when you are tired or if you sleep too much, if you are hungry or if you eat too much, if you are excited about something, anxious, angry, or after any of those things--seriously--they dont really need an excuse to act out--they just do what they want when they want and for as long as they want and then they act all innocent. Hmmmmm very much like a criminal ---commit the crime then plead not guilty.
Yes during and after exercise...have you had an exercise stress test to see what your heart does during exercise?
I get frequent pvc's during exercise, shortness of breath, nausea, extreme fatigue and get cold/hot sweats where my body doesn't actually sweat (ANS issues) then in recovery I get couplets, triplets and faint :P not a pretty sight - exercise while you can if your doctor says your heart is structurally normal; one day they may do like with me and give you a no exertion restriction - very depressing.
my exercise test results are in my journal - test and surgery results =)
Hey guys,
I am a new victim of the PVC and I am not enjoying them at all. They are frightening the hell out of me. I have been getting them at random times during the day, but lately they are especially hitting me at aroun 4am onwards. Today I had a skipping beat every minute, and this went on for a good 2 hours. I had to stop work and continually time my pulse....it was horrible...
I am very anxious about this new problem I have and am hoping I can gt rid of it, but dont understand why it is happening now???
