Pvcs pacs and inverted T waves

Posted , 7 users are following.

Hello everyone! 

This site has been very helpful with my heart palpitation struggles. 

About a year ago I started to have  the pvc’s and pac’s. Over the year they have became more frequent. I had several ekgs, all with inverted t waves. I had a stress echo which turned out fine, and an echocardiogram which was also normal. I just can’t believe the doctors when they are telling me my heart is fine. My heart pounds constantly. I constantly see my stomach thumping very hard. This has all caused a lot of anxiety. I was offered beta blockers, but my bp is usually 100/70. I couldn’t tolerate the medicine, because it made me very dizzy with no energy. I tried magnesium, but that made me dizzy as well. I’ve been to numerous doctors endocrinologist, neurologists, ent and all my test come back normal. I just can’t figure this out. I feel as if the doctors aren’t taking me seriously, because I’m a little younger than the typical heart patient. I’m a 37 year for of female. 

I’m just looking for anyone who has been through this to connect to. It’s very scary not knowing what is going on with your heart. 

Thank you to everyone who replies. 

I hope you all have a wonderful day.

    Don't give up, I know it is difficult. My issues happened periodically and when I was about 23 it as the same; pounding heart like a flat tire in my chest. I was diagnosed with 1st degree heart block. They catheterized my heart to find that. Told me some people have it and don't experience anything. I was given Inderal low dose and told don't worry live my life. Off and on the irregularity beats kept happening. Years later an Electrocardilogist said I had a faulty electrical system,did an ablation and said the correction could only be partially done. The top chamber couldn't be touched therefore I think this where the hard thumping I still feel can't be helped. I am 65 on meds to keep things as best as can be. Now I have a pace maker also. See an Electro cardiologist. They are more equipped to recognize irregularities. Don't get discouraged. I think if you can go to Mayo Clinic get evaluated there or Cleveland clinic and pray along the way. I also would keep in mind diet,exercise etc,.
