PVC'S AND MY INLAWS

[lucyluu]

O my gosh we traveled back to see my husbands family for the holidays and are still here.  In the time I have been  back there is so much drama that Ive gone backward 20 steps with my heart.  You all know I got my meds down to everyother week but this week Ive had to take it 3 times and each time it was not strong enough to keep the tach down.  This is sooooooo frustrating and I still have 3 days to go and there is a big family meeting tomorrow about all the issues.  These people are going to kill me.  Unless I take my med which I worked so hard to get off of my heart goes crazy right now and Im getting terrible chest pain.

Has anyone ever gone through this?  My heart is reacting to all this stress and this is new.  Now I believe in a stress related heart attack.  I kind of alawys thought that was bull and there was something really wrong with the person.  By the way I cant leave the house either.  The family convinced us to not rent a car and there is a blizzard outside.  Aahhhhh.

Should I up my dosage of med tomorrow for this huge meeting or tough it out if I can?

It is usually a bad time so this is not helping one bit.  This family stuff has been going on for 15 years and finally came to a head last night.  I think some of my family members who didnt have heart problems now do.  Its just amazing how someone can be in the same family and be a completely different specimen from everyone else.  Its also amazing how family can keep something going for 15 years.  

I didnt need a med today because things finally simmered down so at least I know the extra boost was from the stress.  Plus I think I might be pregnant and that is adding to the stress.  My husband had a vasectomy so this shouldnt be happening.

To Coribelle, Amen to that.

What a nightmare - I am sat here now with more family than I have seen for ages and their partners - it is just so hard to cope with their disagreements and keep a happy smile. i feel like if i say what I really think then it could cause ripples that will last for years.
Honesty is the best policy but how can you apply that without an enormous series of arguements?
I read your preivous posts about the hormonal pattern and felt that you were making great progress. Is this a bad time anyway or is it the stress from this family gathering alone?
Just being trapped with no car and snow outside could be enough to trigger all this.
give us an update please

My family also has members that creates drama each Xmas.This one cant get along with that one so on and on and every year i have different ones call me to whine about why their not going to the family Xmas party. its allways the same(if so and so,s going to be there im just not going)I get along with all of them but several of them cant stand each other not even for one day and i get stressed out every year because i allways have hope this will be the year they will put an effort into getting along but noooo never happens.My heart skipped alot of beats through Xmas but i dident have any chest pain.Bless your heart, all that drama and a blizzard outside,If only you could lock them outside for awhile might chill them out:) Sorry dont mean to make light of things there but just dont know if you should up your dosage, anyways call 911 if you feel your chest pains are more than just stress.
