    Hello my friend
    Im 53 and have had pvcs and pacs for 3 years. I do suffer from health and anxiety and genaralized anxiety. On 3 different occasions I have wore heart monitors for 14 days and have had 3 echo's . all normal. Most important thing is that you have a structural normal heart, which you do. It took me about 2 years not to really worry about the pvcs and pacs, everyone gets them.
    I know with anxiety its hard to accept them. You will be okay!
    Congratulations on the baby!
    May God bless you and your family

      Thank you so much for this comment, Michael! Very much appreciate your kind words, goes further than you know! I have had some good success with them lately and will do another video soon, but you are absolutely correct in what you said, it just takes a while to not worry about them.
      All the best to you and god bless you and yours

    I've had those PVCs/PACs whatever since I was 10 years old, and now i'm 56. I had it checked out once in my 30's and the doctor said forget about it. So I did. Anyway, they come and go, sometimes gone for years, then come back for a month or so, then go away again. They are definitely related to anxiety in one way or another, because when I'm asleep they don't happen at all, never have. And when I'm awake and wondering when the next PVC will happen, they start up again. If I get my mind off of them by focusing on some work or whatever, they magically disappear during that time. But they come back when I think about them. I've never taken medication for them and never will. One thing that does help a bit is to eat 3 bananas per day, and two handfuls of almonds every day, and do it from now on. Potassium and Magnesium is what you're after, and it seems to help to some degree.

      Wow, thank you for sharing! Very similar story to mine. I do eat 2 bananas a day now but will up it to 3, I like that idea! So sorry to hear you’ve dealt with them for that long but it is relieving to me to know that others have similar stories and have and are living great lives👍👍 all the best to you!

    I wanted to share something I found recently on youtube and through of you... The title of the video is
    Dairy can cause heart palpitations, PVCs & PACs etc
    very interesting. i am cutting out milk and ice cream and want to see if it helps!

    • @gwheel3502
      @gwheel3502  2 года назад

      Yep definitely a possibility and have seen that as well. I cut it our totally for a month or so and no improvement for me, I eat a Mediterranean diet which has very limited dairy (basically only feta).

    i can relate so much to you.... i have had "skipped beats" on and off since i was a teenager and i am 34 now. i have also been a very anxious person my whole life. after i had my daughter 2 years ago, i started fretting over health (in particular my heart). i have gotten an echo done (normal) and recently wore a holter monitor this past summer. i had about 50 PACS in one week and only 3 or 4 PVCS. it was considered "rare", but the feeling i get when they happen, scares me to death and then i panic which makes them worse. you would think that i would be use to them by now! but something happened after i had my daughter. i have also worked from home this past year, which has really hurt my mental health. i focus on my health like you wouldn't believe.... it is terrible! i think alot of it is subconcious, but caring for another human being everyday is ALOT even if we think we are relaxed! i have recently starting talking to a therapist about my heart anxiety and we are doing Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. my cardiologist also suggested i start a low dose of an anti anxiety med, which i did not want to do, but i have been on it for about a month and i will say, i still have and feel the PACS, but i do not seem to panic when they happen. i still fret over them and feel the anxiety though... i have been doing Calm magnesium - it is a powder form you mix with water and i do it before bed every night. i will say.... it seems to help them and keep me calm! you may want to try that! there are great reviews over it and some say it helps with heart palpitations.
    thank you so much for this video! it is nice to know there are other people having similar issues! (although i am sorry you are having this!)

      Oh my gosh, yes very similar and thank you for commenting!
      I Am thinking I may have been an anxious person as well and just didn’t realize what it was. Definitely a lot of subconscious anxiety for me as well with new baby and all that comes with that!
      Really hoping that CBT helps you, would be very curious how your experience with it goes, its been on my radar as its been suggested by others.
      So glad you’ve found a few things to help you out, I will certainly look into the calm magnesium as you suggested.
      All the best to you and thank you again for sharing! :-)

    I have experienced lots of skip beats for 17 years now. Just this month it's confirmed that i have PVCs. I wore a holter monitor for 7 days and i have about more than 5,000 pvcs during the monitoring. That's 1% of my total heart beats. My echo is normal. I've had a stress echo before and it was normal, too. Mine is anxiety & stress related and some foods such as spicy, high fiber food such as chia seeds, & psyllium triggers my skip beats. Although i have lived with it, sometimes it's bothersome.

      Thanks for sharing, you aren’t alone in this struggle with ectopics, glad echo is normal, that should be the most reassuring thing 🙏

    Just like me! I've been having these s
    For 13 years now! Since I was 16! I thought they were PVC'S, my doctor said my monitor picked around 80 PACs in 24 hours! And also almost None during sleep! I have learned lately that they are indeed caused by Anxiety,stress and depression! They had stopped coming for about 14 months and one day I was in a let's say a very stressful situation where I felt fear and boom they come back immediately like right there when I was in that situation! So been feeling them now non stop for like 6 months, I have noticed that sometimes they would start right before I have an important meeting at work or at a job interview..so yeah it is what it is! Also eating huge meals rich in fats or carbs make them worse!

      Thanks for sharing, Cody!
      Very interesting and comforting to hear your story as well, very similar indeed!
      Sorry that you are getting them again, roughly how many are you getting or have you been getting for the past 6 months? I agree, now that I have proof anxiety is most likely the culprit I definitely can feel them before an event that may cause anxiety.
      Interesting you mention diet, I have been eating Mediterranean which does consist of a decent amount of carbs. Do you think cutting down on carbs can help?

      @@gwheel3502 i now get about a 100 to 200 PAC's on a bad day, on a good day anything from 0 to like 20! Yeah anxiety does trigger them! Even Dr Sanjay Gupta said that he noticed some kind of anxiety, stress related disorder in all the patients he's seen! What I noticed is .. they usually come in two occasions! First one is when you are going through a rough patch in your life, this could be anything from worrying too much, overthinking something or depression and in these cases you kinda accumulate stress on a daily basis, that irritates your heart and palpitations start and usually stick around for months ! Second occasion is when you are facing huge amounts of stress,fear or anxiety within Short periods of time like facing a near death experience or maybe some dangerous situation where you feel threatened... and here you would start feeling them instantly and they would stick around for a few minutes or a couple of hours and then they just disappear... Well at least to my experience... Because I have tried to think of everything and to be honest nothing else makes more sense! Cutting carbs will help a bit, whenever I eat a lot of carbs I get bloated and start feeling an increase in heart palpitations.

      Very good points on the anxiety and what seems to trigger them, I’d say I fall into that category for sure. Appreciate again your comment and suggestions!

    PVCs are the lower chamber of the heart; PACs is the upper chamber of the heart.

    • @gwheel3502
      @gwheel3502  Год назад

      Correct, initially my readings showed PVCs but cardiologist cleared it up and said no you’re having PACs

    Hey guys,
    im 28 years old and i have pacs for 12 years
    I had them like once a 30 minutes or in the worst case once in like 5 minutes or so and i was super worried all the time
    Then i started to realise - okey when i presure my stomatch i get pacs,
    Then i started to realise - when my stomach is bloated i get pacs
    Then i started to reserarch if im alergic to some foods and also i realised i have acidic stomatch as long as i have pacs
    I do have feeling that alot of people have the same problem that i have, that wer alergic to some shit like eggs and milk products , it bloats our stomatch and that is why we get pacs
    I had no pacs for last year after i cancled eggs cus im alergic , i ate very acidic berrys last week and got very acidic stomatch and my pacs came back so strong that i had evey 30 secs a pacs , i tought im gonna die ngl, but now im 100 % sure that its from stomatch bloating.
    Any comments on that?

    • @gwheel3502
      @gwheel3502  Год назад

      That’s for sharing!
      Stomache issue definitely are top 3 causes I’ve seen in all my reading that seem to be linked to PACs. Many people with GERD get PACs and once they get that under control the PACs seem to go away.
      Wish there was more. Medical research into it
