Hi Everyone, glad to meet you all.
My name is Susan and I was referred to this forum by Glenda over at Power Surge.
I am a 55 year old female, post menopausal, married and share a 10 acre farm with my husband, a donkey, llama, 10 goats, a dog and 4-5 barn cats.
My physical last year showed that I am in excellent health with a normal blood count as to everything. My BP is normal, am slightly overweight and will be seeing a Cardiologist in a few weeks for my PVCs.
I have been having PVCs for about 15 years that started out mild and progressed to very severe in March of this year. Since then, I had an Event Monitor for 2 weeks in June which showed PVCs. Normally I would not complain and ignore them, but sometimes they go on for 9-12 hours without a regular heartbeat. It almost feels like hickups. Once they start for the day, they stay with you. Anyway, I sometimes get chest pain, dizziness, headaches and fatigue with them, so my doctor referred me to a Cardiologist.
I also have asthma so I can't take Beta Blockers. Not that I want to, as I'm hoping for a solution that does not include drugs. I also have Gallstones, and have been fortunate enough to still have my Gallbladder. Oddly enough, my palps do not occur when I feel right side pain and visa versa. Don't know why, but I would rather have the right side pain than these darned heart palps.
My palps are not the kind where my heart races. If anyting my pulse is slow and my heart feels as if its skipping beats or just quivering. Sometimes they occur with anxiety and sometimes without anxiety. So I am clueless and interested in learning more about the Vagus Nerve.
