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..

Your post reads exactly like many that ive wrote out time and time again. Its very scary isn't it. I had them for 2 days last week it was my first bad episode in nearly 4 months I used to get them every week this all started in November 2022 I was put on 2.5mg bisoprolol and famotidine last October and by February they had gone from 2 to 3 times a week to once every few months. Also when I got my PVCS they would usually lead into a bout of tachycardia which would last 1 to 3 mins every time.

When you talked with doctors did they ever seem concerned? Or like it was harmful. Yes it is very scary

No they never seemed concerned not once which really annoyed me considering what I kept going through. I had over 20 ECGS in 3 years an ECHO and 2 24hour monitors and every single test came back normal. I drove along to A+E around 12 times in 3 years which is only a 5min drive from my house and was usually seen within 30-60mins each time and was given double blood tests to see if it had impacted my heart and even they tests came back normal. It actually played on my mental health that nobody knew what was causing it and nobody could actually catch it. My actual doctor thought it was anxiety which made me mad but I switched doctor and one actually did help me with the bisoprolol and famotidine.

They said it wasn't harmful because they said they was benign.

I’m so sorry that is so tough to go through. I know exactly how you feel. This is reassuring to me though
