Need to vent
Oct 09th, 2008, 7:37am
 
I am having one of those days (actually it has been 3 days in a row now) that many of you can probably relate to. I am having more frequent palps than usual and it is really getting to me. I stand up and take a few steps and a flurry of skipped beats hit me. I lean over the sink while brushing my teeth and I get flutters. My heart feels overly excited if that makes sense, where it seems like the least little thing sets it off. I know the skipped beats are harmless, yet they feel awful. I wish I could desensitize myself to feeling them at all. I get so tired of feeling thses darn things! I don't know why I struggle so hard to cope with them. Anyway, I just needed to vent to people who understand what it is like!

I definitely can say I understand..  Wish I didn't sometimes, but I like to help people, so I do understand!  =o)  

We all will be okay. Sometimes it so hard though I know.  Like I have said in a previous post a couple days ago --  I have been getting PVC's nearly non-stop for 3 months straight.  When I say nearly non-stop, I mean beat, pvc, beat, pvc, beat, beat pvc, and it goes on in this pattern nearly continously.  It's so hard to think in this "frequency" that they are not damaging my heart, but I guess they are not.  Right RLR?

I sometimes still need reassurance to help keep me sane.  lol.  But I am also working on lessening anxiety and stress.  Obivously we can not remove al anxiety/stress frm our lives, as everyone has this is their lives, but we can learn how to cope with it better.

I often think, "wow, how can I be getting these pvc's, I do not feel anxious."  But then I stop myself and say, "Why obviously I am anxious or I would not be letting these pvc's get to me." And I still do let them get to me.  Some days its easier, some days its SO hard.

But we have had these before, right?  Nothing bad has happened to us and nothing will...

You will be ok.  Just distract yourself when you get these.  Keep reminding yourself that you will be OK and there are lots of other people out there going through the same thing as you are.  Might me a different frequency or feeling when experiencing them, but they are "all the same" in that they originate from the same source, via the vagus nerve, which initiates the parasympathetic/sympathetic nervous system, fight or flight response.  It  stinks having these, but again we will be OK.  

Hang in there!

Thanks for the replies. I am still having a tough week with the darn skipped beats, but I am trying really hard to ignore them and continue doing my normal activities. I sure don't understand the sudden increase, but I guess there isn't much I can do about it!
