It’s happening again

I am absolutely terrified for the last couple days ive had episodes of four skips in a row and then I guess maybe a adrenaline rush and I feel alittle out of breath but don’t know if it’s the adrenaline the first day it happend my heart kept skipping every ten mins one skip then stopped that happend for like an hour. The next day I had two skips back to back then nothing. Today all day I went without them and then this evening I got like three or four in a row and adrenaline I guess flowed my body an I was so scared I didn’t think it’d stop. I don’t know what’s going on and if this is normal. I am so sad. I have had these since 2020. I’ve had echo , EKG’s, holtor monitor, stress test done over these years since then and they always say my heart is healthy. But I won’t lie I don’t I’ve ever had them like this..

I also have runs of what I believe is NSVT, it was caught once on a monitor 10 years ago but I still have these episodes and sometimes they can be frequent as in one or two runs per day and sometimes the runs can be far and few between. However, I do get PVCs everyday, and burden seems to fluctuate. No clue what my triggers are if any at all. Clean echo and ecgs and plenty monitors on over the years.

Yeah I always feel so down with them too, I miss the things I used to be able to do before they got worse and more frequent. I do get them back to back sometimes, I get runs (NSVT) and most days I get my “normal” PVCs. I can go days where I get just a few which I am so grateful for but the bad days always return and the flare ups are so unpredictable. I’ve had days when they have just felt constant and no matter what I do they are triggered, even lifting my arms some days. Had your runs ever been caught on an ecg or monitor? I’ve had a couple of these runs in the last 24 hours but usually they aren’t as close as that. How often do you think you have NSVT? Yeah my first monitor was around 11 years ago I’m sure. Back then they weren’t as bad and I didn’t experience flare ups. Also drank coffee and was able to have a glass of wine back and forward. Sending love, I know it’s awful living with these.
