My story.

[MBM12345]

I have 'PVCs' as well. I am a 22 year old male. I never had them until I randomly passed out one evening. Ever since that moment I have had dizzy spells and my heart feels like it skips beats a few dozen times a day.

I have always been health contentious, and I am active. Since that moment I passed out (several months ago), I have felt this way. I had about every possible test done on my heart, head, eyes, blood, and other parts of my body. I find it difficult to focus on L.E.D.  lights and things that are off in the distance. I also find myself short of breath often.

Every doctor that I have seen is convinced that I am as healthy as an ox. However, I do not feel this way, but I'm looking for a brighter future with this condition.  Every post on here matches up with some of the symptoms that I am having. I'm curious if anyone has had this type of episode that I am having? Maybe someone has some light they could shine on this situation I'm having?

Thank you,

MBM

HesAPooka points to a way to go to find if the problem is your heart.  I agree a stress test would be a good first step to suggest to the doctor, even a "regular" not nuclear stress test may show something.  I recall the nuclear stress test is rather expensive, best I can recall.  I have always had health insurance but I still look at the charges.  My last nuclear stress test was less than a year ago that's why the cost comes to mind.  A "regular" stress test is much simpler, an EKG while working to elevate the heat rate/load.  

I don't recall you saying your dizziness was directly related to activity, if not the stress test may show nothing other than "normal".

Other thoughts come to mind, as already noted sugar, have you been checked for diabetes?  Another, breathing problems.  I suffer form milde obstructive sleep apnea (yea, I'm an old guy) and while it isn't much of a probem when on my feet, it is caused by a slight constriction in the air passage, which could cause dizziness when awake.  I have lost 25 pounds (down to 225 an am still about 6' 5", so not real obese) and the apnea is less of a problem.  Too much fat in my throat.  I bring these thoughts up only to help think out-of-the-box, not so suggest I have any answers.

Wishing the best and a great Thanksgiving.

If you've been to multiple cardiologists about your heart and had multiple heart tests done ie echo, stress test, holter monitor, and ecg that have come back normal than it's goes without saying that your heart is normal. If you haven't seen a cardiologist and had these tests done than I strongly recommend you do. Especially a stress test. The types of electrical cardiac problems that would cause one to pass out like that would definitely show up on a stress test during, or after the exam. Could it be possible that your blood sugar was low that day and caused you to pass out?
Also the dizziness you're now experiencing could very well be attributed to your heart, but like I said above if you've had it tested (especially multiple times) and had your results come back normal it's incredibly unlikely. Dizziness like you're describing is the first sign of stress/anxiety. Now I'm not saying anxiety is what caused this to happen in the first place, but after experiencing what you did it's perfectly normal and understandable to be stressed/anxious. If you've had all these tests done than you should trust that your doctors are looking out for your best interest and know what they're talking about. If not than go get them done! If you've had them done still can't get peace or suspect something is wrong than go get them done again, and this time know that the chances of something going unnoticed 2-3 times is close to impossible. The types of heart electrical disorders that could cause you to pass out show up on stress tests.

Thanks for your response,

I passed out while I was standing. I was talking to my wife. All of the sudden I blacked out for a very short moment. My wife put me down on the bed amd my limbs went numb and I felt very strange, as if I could not control anything. I have never been faint hearted about anything, I just sort of fainted and had weird sensations.

From there on I get dizzy in the sense that I feel 'out of it', as if I am watching myself. Some moments I feel great, other times it's hard to get through my day.  The dizziness does not seem to be triggered by any sort of movements, although I usually feel slightly better when I lay down. However, sometimes I feel better when I am active and do not have my mind on it. I am not sure if my PVCs are even related to the dizziness.

It seems as of there is no pattern to my state. I try to find things that I can do to relieve it, but it just comes and goes at anytime. I have never been an anxious person and have always handled stress pretty well. I may have developed some sort of Panic Disorder out of this, but I went from one day feeling great, to the next day being like this.

Thank you. Any advice or wisdom you have would be great.

Can you associate anything with the "random" passing out?  Were you just sitting, walking, talking, or were you engaged in something more stressful?

Reading you post I didn't notice (have gone back to read again) reference to an ongoing passing out problem, just dizzy spells, right?  These too when sitting or when you change activity level, like suddenly standing from a long seated period.  

I'm just poking around on the thoughts, I don't have any conclusions to offer.
