HI all
I have been having ectopic beats for about a year now, ive has 2 ECG's, the last one about 9 months ago and that was normal (did have a pulse of 89BPM).
I have also had an omron monitor wich showed up nothing.
I am waiting the results of a 6 days holter monitior.
The last few days i have awful ectopics (skipped beats), flutters in chest and throat, a feel of unease and dizzyness.
Whats could be causing them? could i have heart diseas or arrythmia?
i am sooo scared im going to die and my heart will just stop
Actually extra beats, palpitations fibrillation and or a flutter are fairly common, stay with your doctors, sounds like they are searching for anything out of the way. Normally these are not significant issues and a lot of us live quite normal with some fairly significant arrhythmias. Maybe avoid caffeine for awhile? Be well...
I don't drink much caffeine at all. I'm just scared my heart will stop before they find out if anything is wrong...I'm scared I have afib or a serious arrhythmia problem or heart disease/failure :-(
No need to fear . My father have been diagnosed with AF since ten years ago , and do extremely well with digoxin 0.25 micro and metoprolol twice daily plus regular bicycling . Holtor monitor was a good option.
Trust your doctor.

Just scared it doesn't pick up anything and then I'm still wondering why I'm getting them :-(
This is almost impossible that it doesnt show any abnormality , except for when the patient's problem is a psychotic one . Then you must use Trasodone.
