Question 1

episode where it felt like a pvc then a pause. longer than normal pvc. i checked my pulse and there was nothing for atleast 20 sec light headed?

Accepted Answer

Pause: If you really had a pulseless /20sec., that would be very abnormal. You should be checked and perhaps have a holter monitor to see if that really is happening.

Question 2

when i stand up , i get light headed all the time , i'm on 25 mg if antenolol for heart pvcs , pacs . what is causing this and is it serious issue?

Accepted Answer

When I stand up: It may be due to hypotension, you may have to adjust the dosage of  atenolol. Have your blood pressure checked while lying down sitting and standing. Good luck.

Question 3

temperatur 97.9 and light headed with head ache and i have pvc's ?

Accepted Answer

Palpitations: can be an ominous sign of heart ischemia (low oxygen/blood supply to muscle) or arrhythmia; or due to more benign causes such as stress. Neurologic and cardiac symptoms in the context of new infection (potential cause of new fever, although yours is low) are concerning for early systemic shock, which occurs in major or blood-born infections.

Question 4

left er went for heart fluttering, chest pain, short breath, light headed. i was told that it was pac/pvc 20 year old is it common to have chest pain?

Accepted Answer

No : Consider consult with cardiologist. ER doctors tuned in to take care of serious acute problems - such as heart attacks, significant arrhythmia so. You merit evaluation and comprehensive history to make a diagnosis or reassure you all is well.

Question 5

can pvcs lead go vtach?

Accepted Answer

Anything is possible: Vtach or ventricular tachycardia is a sustained rhythm of >100 BPM (often much faster) consisting of beats that arise exclusively in the ventricles instead of the normal location in the right atrium. In advanced heart disease and certain congenital heart diseases, pvcs may be an ominous precursor of vt, but in the vast majority, pvcs are just pvcs. All healthy people have some pvcs every day.

Question 6

does topral block pvcs?

Accepted Answer

Toprol (metoprolol): Toprol (metoprolol) can help decrease the frequency of pvcs. It doesn't technically block pvcs.

Question 7

when are pvcs worrisome?

Accepted Answer

When they: come in "runs" (repeated 3-4-5 in a row) or when they occur without 'coupling" (a stable amount of time) to a NORMAL beat!.    Your PCP/Cardiologist will be able to determine this after a period of MONITORING!

Hope this is helpful

Wish you good health!

Question 9

can pvcs ever turn into vtach?

Accepted Answer

PVC : In people with marked impairment of cardiac function, frequent PVC s increase the risk of vtach.  In patients whose hearts appear normal, vtach would be rare.

Question 10

light headed 4 days in a roll?

Accepted Answer

Make sure: you are eating properly and also have fluid intake.  If you are doing this it is not normal to be light headed and dizzy for four days in a row.  Any headaches or visual symptoms? Any muscle pain or pain on blinking your eyes?  See a doctor if this persists.
