Title: ectopics every other beat
Post by lorri on Oct 23^rd, 2012, 6:38am

Rlr please could you give me some advice. Iv had ectopics for 13 years and usually cope quite well with them. For the past few months however, they keep coming is runs of every other beat. This lasts for about 15 mins or even up to a hour. It happens a few times per day along with my normal ectopics ( a couple per minute) I am absolutely terrified that it is a dangerous arrithmia and i spend most of my time lying still so that i dont aggrivate them. A few years ago i had stress tests, echo and ecg which showed that i had slight leaking valve and RVOT but nothing much to worry about. I feel like i usually deal with the ectopics ok but this new pattern that they are taking is really taking its toll on me. When i was diognosed with the rvot, you gave me some great reassurence and im praying that you could do the same with this problem too! Thank you :)
