Extrasystoles!!!! I'm going mad.
Girls, I developed extrasystoles 5 months ago, after experiencing severe stress. That stress absolutely terrified me, I couldn't recover mentally for a long time, then it got better, but then I went on holiday with my husband and one 'wonderful' evening BAM!! It felt like a thump in my chest. A really hard thump. I got scared, and the very next morning my husband and I had to urgently buy tickets home and fly back because of it, and upon landing I immediately ran to the hospital, where they didn't catch any such 'episodes'. They referred me to a cardiologist, I went through a load of ECGs, a Holter monitor, a two-week Holter monitor (where you press a button when you feel a 'symptom' and the doctor will see that segment of the ECG), a heart ultrasound, a stress test. And it turned out that these beats are EXTRASYSTOLES! Ventricular and supraventricular. Mine are super rare. The most frequent it's been is about 15 such sensations a day. And sometimes, thankfully, these buggers would disappear for a week! But then they'd always come back. So, my question is for those who also have these extrasystoles due to nerves. How do you feel them??? Mine make me literally jump from fear!! I literally jerk, everyone around notices. It's awful!!! And also they kind of take your breath away when the thump happens! Sometimes they feel like such strong beats (as if you've been hit in the chest with a ball), sometimes like heart flips, and sometimes just like a small churning of air in the jugular notch. I'm so scared of these sensations!!! I've stopped exercising, let myself go, I'm afraid of sudden death and so on. Girls, who's experienced this, do you also feel every single one of these extrasystoles? How do you cope? Do they ever go away at all?? Jumping ahead, I'll say my heart ultrasound is normal, ECG is normal, during the stress test there was 1 systole during the rest period after running. And I'll also say straight away that potassium, magnesium, calcium are normal, thyroid tests are normal.

Author, surely the doctors must have told you that this isn't life-threatening and is even considered a normal variant! Did you really cut your holiday short and fly back urgently because of this? I just can't believe it, have you completely lost your mind? You could have called and sought advice if you didn't want to see a doctor there, and was there really no internet either? And to answer your question – yes, of course I feel every single one, I'm used to it, while some people don't feel them at all – it only shows up on a Holter monitor. Why are you so worried? Your extrasystoles aren't dangerous, calm down!
Гость
Author, sometimes when I get anxious, I have this feeling as if my heart is turning over. I'm perfectly healthy; on an ECG, they only see a mild arrhythmia and angina. But, of course, I've never once gotten so worked up during an ultrasound. So, I somehow didn't even pay much attention to it—I didn't know it could be something like extrasystoles. And what did the doctors tell you? Are they harmful to health? Could you die from them? I don't know, there's so much stress and all sorts of dangers in life around us that I don't have the nerves to worry about my heart on top of it all. I've decided that I'll live as long as I'm meant to and won't even bother listening to every little thing. The more you stress, the worse your health can get—that's a fact.

Only? Actually, angina is called 'angina pectoris' and it can lead to serious consequences with age.

I don't know, maybe they found a very mild form - somehow the doctor didn't really scare me with anything)) I needed an ECG for general anaesthesia - based on its results, the therapist gave the go-ahead for the anaesthesia. Well, I was about 27 then, now I'm 33 and haven't checked my heart since, it seems. I don't know, it seems to me, if such illnesses can't be cured anyway, what's the point in detecting and monitoring them unnecessarily?

I've had them all my life. Sometimes it feels like my heart is literally turning over in my chest. When it starts bothering me a lot, I take Panangin and everything's fine. The doctors said it's not dangerous.

I have the same issue. Since childhood. I've had my heart checked. They occur more often at the doctor's office or during interviews, when I'm anxious or stressed. During PMS and sometimes when I go to bed, I have to fall asleep almost sitting up. Doctors advised taking sedatives, magnesium, and spending more time outdoors in the fresh air. I also feel the thuds very strongly, and it becomes frightening. I'm naturally anxious and prone to worry. I read somewhere that coughing during an episode can help restore the rhythm.

I was diagnosed with a prolonged QT interval on my Holter monitor(((( I'm scared too(( although another cardiologist said that this interval isn't diagnosed via Holter... only via ECG. And my ECG seems normal..
But I'm still worried.

I have extrasystoles (around 2000 per day) plus paroxysmal tachycardia. The PT is the real nightmare. Against its backdrop, I don't even pay attention to the extrasystoles.
And the doctors say it's not dangerous. If an extrasystole thumps during exercise, I stop, wait a minute, and breathe deeply. Otherwise, I take an Anaprilin tablet an hour before exercise to prevent a PT attack and then carry on.

Haven't you had the node ablated? PT is dangerous... I had a mild case once, 150 beats, and I almost cried from fear.

I did not have cauterisation of the node. A doctor I know—a cardiologist, a professor—talked me out of this operation, because my episodes are rare, once every couple of months, and the side effects from the operation could cause a lot of problems. And there's no guarantee that the episodes wouldn't resume after some time. The operation is advisable if episodes are at least weekly.

I've also had extrasystoles for 9 years. Sometimes I don't feel them, sometimes it's awful—I start getting nervous and my blood pressure rises. I relieve severe attacks with valerian and motherwort, sometimes I don't pay attention, but sometimes panic attacks start. It can be very difficult.

I've had these extrasystoles for almost three years now!!! I've sort of gotten used to them, but every time they appear again, I still end up searching online. Honestly, I'm really afraid of them. Well, I've had all the tests done, and everything is normal except for tachycardia.

I have the same thing, exactly the same, for 15 years now. The attacks have become more frequent over the years. Sometimes I feel like jumping right out of my own skin. I'm almost always in a low mood—waiting for the next attack. Quality of life... There is none. It's just existence, digging around online about this topic, afraid to go outside alone.

I've had this since I was 15 (I'm 28 now). I've had every possible test, sinus arrhythmia and a first-degree prolapse in my heart. But the attacks are awful. They've also become more frequent and varied over the years. Everywhere they say it's not dangerous, but I'm scared, it's very unpleasant. Where to turn, I don't even know anymore....

Girls, for the sake of all the Gods, old and new, stop the hysterics)) I have extrasystoles, I think since childhood, because the very first ECG in my life showed them... but that was at 23 years old... eight years ago, it crossed the boundaries of permissible gradations, more than 12,000 and all grouped. I couldn't get an RFA done, tried several times. I sorted them out myself)) Or rather, I sorted myself out, the extrasystoles are still with me, sometimes 2,000, sometimes 20 a day)) but they don't reduce my comfort in life... with a healthy heart, it's not a disease, just your peculiarity.

Extrasystoles can be a complication following viral and infectious diseases.
After a common cold, extrasystoles may develop, which most likely indicates myocarditis.
If extrasystoles appear after acute respiratory viral infections, influenza, herpes, etc., it is highly probable that you have myocarditis.

I have exactly the same situation as you. I also can't find peace, my ECG and ultrasound are all normal, my thyroid is fine too. They can appear out of nowhere, even when I'm not stressed, and they're very distressing. Because of them, I'm even afraid to go on holiday or travel by plane.

Hello, I am 33 years old and have been suffering from extrasystoles for six years. It started with 1–5 per day, and sometimes there were none at all. I have been prescribed many medications: Corvelol, bisoprolol, Lacren, magnesium, potassium, etc. My ultrasound and ECG results are normal, and a Holter monitor showed extrasystoles but not in large numbers. Now, however, I have more than 4,000 per day, and I am exhausted. The medications are not helping. What should I do?
Гость
Oh girls, it's the same for me – when I start getting nervous, these episodes begin. Right away, my spine starts hurting exactly opposite my heart. It's been on and off since January to April, with more episodes; in the summer, there were none at all. Now I'm about to go on vacation, and with the kids, stress, and chaos, these episodes started up again, just two days before the trip, as if on purpose. I've also run to a bunch of cardiologists and neurologists – lost count of how many I've seen. I've been everywhere. Supraventricular extrasystoles, though there were 68 supraventricular and 4 ventricular. Tachycardia rarely. And the favourite diagnosis: VSD (vegetative-vascular dystonia). In plain Russian, it's all nerves – all the issues stem from that. I've become terribly anxious, with cardiophobia. Very often, I feel like I can't get enough air, as if in attacks, like a brick is tied to my chest. In short, it's a mess. At 28, I feel like an old granny who's popping Corvalol, valerian, etc. When I ignore the issues, life is easier and I don't want to think about it. ECG is normal too. Heart ultrasound is normal. Thyroid is within limits. Cholesterol and sugar are also normal. I even got my weight down from 83 to 70 kg, back to normal. But these nerves are an incurable thing. Girls, write how you're doing now???
I started having extrasystoles after my thyroid removal surgery. And I've been living with them for four years now. They don't go away. It's just that sometimes you feel them less, sometimes more. The quality of life is simply awful. You're completely focused on one thing—your heart. And none of the doctors have ever given me a clear answer. They just prescribe bisoprolol or anaprilin, panangin, sedatives. And I've already scoured the entire internet searching for an answer to my question: why this happens and how to treat it. Then, two months ago, my mother had surgery, and the same nonsense appeared. Maybe it's somehow related to anaesthesia. I'm tired of thinking and guessing why and how. But I want to live a full life. With these systoles, it's not a life—it's torture.

No, it's not related to anaesthesia because I have the same thing, it's been 14 years already, it appeared even before anaesthesia, it's impossible to live, when I lie down to sleep I feel it too, sometimes I don't want to live.

Elena, I also have extrasystoles, it's awful when anxiety appears and then it can turn into a panic attack. It's terrible. I got examined in 2017, diagnosis was VSD (vegetative dystonia).

Reading your messages makes me feel better, but only until it all comes crashing down again! It's awful. I'm 30 and planning for pregnancy, but for the past week, it's been either the clinic or the ambulance... and during monitoring, they disappear!!! They can't be detected!!! The ambulance can't find them either. But I feel every single one! Sometimes they come in pairs, triplets, or clusters, every two seconds... terrifying, terrifying attacks! They happen periodically throughout the day, but by evening, especially when lying down, it hits you like a ton! I'm so exhausted! No one at home understands or supports me because the ambulance doctors say, "It's not dangerous, we can't see anything, you're fine"... as if I want to live like a neurotic, waiting for the next extrasystole. I especially love the ambulance's reaction: "Who told you these are extrasystoles?" Well, what are they then??? I've tormented myself beyond belief. If anyone has found a way to fight them or at least knows how to stop an attack—please write! I can't live like this anymore!!! Constant fear, either during an attack or, if there's no attack, waiting for one... blood pressure at 150, panic attacks... it's such torture... I wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy!

Hello! You need to do a 24-hour monitor, a Holter test, and then these ectopic beats will be visible, especially when planning a pregnancy.
I myself have had WPW syndrome since childhood, had two RF ablations, and now ectopic beats have started appearing, either they weren't noticeable before during tachycardia episodes, or they manifested after the surgery. And of course, doctors say it's not fatal, not dangerous, but damn, it's scary! I'm so tired of living and waiting - will there be a rhythm disturbance or not, because of this I have neurosis, panic attacks, and it's not far from depression... And I understand rationally - really, there's no particular danger, but the neurosis is still constant.

Oh, how I understand you, girls!! I suffer from this myself!! It's so scary when they happen, panic sets in immediately, tachycardia starts, shortness of breath (I also start thinking that something will happen to me now, and I have children at home ((I don't know what to do anymore. It's very hard to calm down. I'm already afraid to stay home alone! I've also been checked, had a Holter monitor, ultrasound, ECG, everything is normal, they diagnose arrhythmia. It feels like I'm going to die right now ((so scary😔

That's true! With thoracic osteochondrosis, this happens((
My blood pressure starts to rise in the evening, and I've noticed that after a neck massage, everything more or less calms down, and the pressure drops and the heart palpitations subside.
But in general, you need to get vitamin drips every six months, support your blood vessels and trace elements in the body)
We live in such times when stress is simply unavoidable daily!
So take care of your nerves, all illnesses come from them)))

Hello. And these extrasystoles, do you have them every day? I've been suffering from heart palpitations for two days now—when I walk or stand, there's nothing, but when I sit or lie down, the palpitations start, it's really scary, and there's tachycardia too.

Don't worry, everything can be treated, they will pass but not immediately. If you're very scared, go to a psychotherapist so that neurosis doesn't flare up; otherwise, light jogging, gymnastics, contrast showers, and swimming are essential. Everything will be fine, don't let fear take over you, good luck.

Well, yeah, only when the Holter is on, nothing happens, but without it—as if on purpose. And nowadays they think that no matter how many extrasystoles there are, the treatment is worse than the disease. Supposedly antiarrhythmics only increase the risk of death in the future. And the extrasystoles themselves aren't dangerous if they don't affect haemodynamics. So, cardiologists refer you to neurologists or psychiatrists.
Елена
Dear women! If you have extrasystoles and haven't been examined yet, be sure to do so. However, many of you will likely be told that it's not serious and that you probably won't die from it))). I've encountered this many times—first with my mother, and then myself. The sensation is unpleasant, but we often amplify it with our own fear—adrenaline is released, which further increases heart rate, raises blood pressure, and frays our nerves even more. It becomes a vicious cycle: adrenaline intensifies heart irregularities, and extrasystoles raise adrenaline levels. I'm convinced that in 90+% of cases, this is the result of stress. I remember when I was younger, I had to give a lecture to students and was so nervous that I even had to stop on the stairs. During the lecture, I focused on something else—there was no way out—and forgot about the extrasystoles. When the episodes lasted for hours, I (I think on a cardiologist's advice, though I don't remember exactly) found a remedy—a tablet (0.5 mg or 1 mg) of phenazepam under the tongue. I treated my mother the same way for years, discarding the endless and useless pills prescribed to her at the local clinic. Now, I've received further confirmation of the stress-related origin of extrasystoles in my case. A week ago, I underwent surgery for atypical breast hyperplasia (fear, pain, waiting for biopsy results, a sedentary lifestyle)—and there were the extrasystoles again. But phenazepam was at hand. My advice is not a panacea—this medication shouldn't be taken long-term or uncontrollably, as it can lead to dependence. However, if the episodes aren't constant or too frequent, you can try it. And if milder sedatives help, that's even better. The main thing is NOT TO PANIC, not to worsen your condition, but to find suitable means to calm down.

It's been 3 days of extrasystoles, I feel them every minute, day and night. Whether I'm moving or resting. I counted up to 50 times per hour myself. As mentioned above, I need to get used to it, but it's impossible—every new thump brings fear. And when they come in groups, it's just awful. I'm scheduled for a Holter monitor in 4 days. For now, I've been prescribed a sedative for these days, but it doesn't help much. And in the evening, my blood pressure rises to 150/80.
