Hi all, I'm Edward, 20 years old and have been afflicted with anxiety, panic attacks, ectopics and so on since I was 18. Really glad to have found this site and I'm somewhat relieved that my symptoms aren't as unusual as I initially thought. Reading people's stories has really helped to keep me self-assured, so I thank you all ß

Hi All!

Wanted to drop quick hello and to say thanks to the contributors here.  Very informative.

Cheers

Hello everyone, I've already posted a long post in the main forum.  My name is Grant, I live in Kansas, I'm 35 (almost 36) and I first noticed my palps a couple weeks ago (June 26th).  I am a big time worry wart, I worry about everything and it can become obsessive at times.  Right now my mind is obsessed with worrying about the PACS that I've been diagnosed with.  I've also had some things checked out over the last two weeks....24 hour holter monitor which confirmed the PACS, blood work (normal), echo (normal), treadmill test (normal)....been told they are common and that I'm fine....but yet I'm still struggling.  I would do anything to "feel normal" again.  I look forward to reading everyone's experiences and posts...take care!

Hi everyone. I've posted here lots but I figure I'll introduce myself a teeny bit.

My name is Andrea, I'm 28 years old. I'm engaged to be married. I have a bachelor's degree in social work, and I'm working on my master's degree in social work starting next summer.

My palps started 2 months ago, I had 3 bad run-ons of them in the first month. Since then it's been a stray ka-thunk in the chest here and there, not more than once per day.. if that. Had the usual tests, all came back negative. I think mine are brought on by anxiety and my bad stomach.

I also think the vagus nerve is a huge jerk for causing all of these problems.
