I'm 23, i started having pvc's pac's ectopic beats later in life & they are on and off, does this mean i have something structurally wrong with heart?
I experience ectopic beats recently quite often. Also I get dizzy often when i excersice (excersice 1-2 x a week). Cardiologist says pvc and pacs are nothing to worry about because my heart function is normal. They feel quite frightening along dizzin?
I have PVC/ PAC/ Ectopic Beats is an Normal ECHO, 3 ECG's X-RAY, Blood tests, enough to rule out any Heart Diseases / Problems, Yes / No? Thank you.
Why is it I feel forceful ectopics beats when I lay supine? I have head echos that are normal except trace mitral, tricuspid, and pulmonic regurgitation, and holter that showed benign PVCs 152 and 256 PACS in 48 hours. Like heart is jumping up?
I have PACS and PVCS. Why are my ectopics more frequent on some days but not others? Ive been cleared by my cardiologist and Echo shows a structurally normal heart. I just cant help but thinking the days they are more frequent something is wrong?
