Ectopic beats when resting and changing posture

Posted , 3 users are following.

Hi everyone excuse my bad writing, I am really worried I have been under escitalopram for 3 years I got off them 2 months ago but now I feel ectopic heart beats I always had them. I did an echo, ekg and a 48 hour holter and the doctor sad I have not seen any heart like this you have the best heart great shape great parameters everything in top form this was done about 11 months ago. I did another test about a week ago to another cardiologist just an echo and ekg turn out fine everything fine. But I dont know why I get this ectopic only when resting a strong beat followed by a pain like a needle in left upper chest followed by a heat in the neck though the next heart beat is so weak and makes me so scared. I have done also blood analysis everything super, strange though when I was under escitalopram did not experienced so often only once a day now I have anxiety since I left them also I have a bad posture back problems and I am 26 year old. But my question is do I have to check something else or is this normal to feel how they feel? Thank you for the understanding.

    Could it be anxiety

      Under medication yes and when I left medication in the first two weeks but now no it just happens rare when I watch some bad dreams and my anxiety goes up and I am unable to breathe properly.

      Hello. After 4 years have you figured out what was the problem and solution?

      I've done some escitalopram too, and 1 month after stop it, i started developing daily PVCs that happen specially during resting like laying down or seated.
