Extrasystoles!!!! I'm going crazy.
Girls, I developed extrasystoles 5 months ago after experiencing severe stress. That stress threw me into a state of horror, I couldn't recover mentally for a long time, then it got better, but then I went on vacation with my husband and one 'wonderful' evening BAM!! It felt like something punched me in the chest. A really hard punch. 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 arrival I immediately ran to the hospital, where they didn't catch any such 'episodes.' They referred me to a cardiologist, I went through a bunch 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 I've had is about 15 such sensations per day. And sometimes, thankfully, these pests would disappear for a week! But then they'd definitely 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 terrible!!! And also they kind of take away my breath when the thump happens! Sometimes they feel like such strong blows (like being hit in the chest with a ball), sometimes like heart flips, and sometimes just like a small air flip in the jugular fossa. I'm so afraid of these sensations!!! I've stopped exercising, let myself go, I'm afraid of sudden death and so on. Girls who have 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 right 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 vacation 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 consulted if you didn't want to see a doctor there, and wasn't there internet access 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 like my heart is flipping over. I'm perfectly healthy; on an ECG, they only see a mild arrhythmia and angina. But of course, I've never gotten so worked up during an ultrasound that it happened. So I never really paid 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 your health? Can you die from them? I don't know, there's so much stress and all kinds 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 stress over every little thing. The more you worry, the worse your health can get—that's a fact.

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

I've had them my whole 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 an interview, when I'm anxious or stressed. During PMS and sometimes when I go to bed, I have to fall asleep almost sitting up. Doctors have advised me to take sedatives, magnesium, and get more fresh air. I also feel the palpitations strongly, and it becomes scary. I'm an anxious and suspicious person by nature. I read somewhere that coughing during an episode can help restore the rhythm.

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

I have extrasystoles (about 2000 per day) plus paroxysmal tachycardia. The PT is really tough. 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 episode and go for it.

Have you tried ablation of the node? PT is dangerous... I had a mild case once, 150 beats, and I almost cried from fear.

I didn't have ablation of the node. A doctor I know—a cardiologist, a professor—talked me out of this surgery because my episodes are rare, once every couple of months, and the side effects from the surgery could cause a lot of problems. And there's no guarantee that the episodes won't come back after some time. Surgery is advisable if the 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 extra heartbeats for almost three years now!!! I've kind 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 gone through all the tests and everything is normal, except I do have tachycardia.

I have the same thing, exactly the same, for 15 years now. The attacks have become more frequent over the years. Sometimes I just want to jump right out of my own body. I'm almost always in a bad mood—waiting for an attack. Quality of life... There is no quality. Just existence, digging around online on this topic, afraid to go outside alone.

I've had SVT since I was 15 (I'm 28 now). I've had every possible test, sinus arrhythmia and 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 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 it... but that was at age 23... eight years ago, it crossed the acceptable gradation limits, 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.

Extrasystole can be a complication following viral infectious diseases.
After a common cold, extrasystole may develop, which most likely indicates myocarditis.
If extrasystoles appear after acute respiratory viral infections, influenza, herpes, etc., it is highly likely 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 really exhausting. Because of them, I'm even afraid to go on vacation or travel by plane.

Honestly, I'm really scared of them, well, I've done all the tests and everything's normal, except for tachycardia.I'm in my third year too, with tachycardia on top of that, also when it hits, I run to the internet, reading that I'm not the only one, it's really tough, like some kind of curse

Hello, I am 33 years old and have been suffering from extrasystoles for 6 years. It started with 1–5 per day, and sometimes there were none at all. I have been prescribed a lot of medications: carvedilol, bisoprolol, lacren, magnesium, potassium, etc. My ultrasound is normal, ECG is normal, and Holter monitoring shows extrasystoles but not a large number. Now, however, I have more than 4,000 per day, and I am exhausted. The medications are not helping. What should I do?

Oh girls, the same thing happens to me—when I start getting nervous, these reflux episodes kick in, and right away my spine starts hurting right opposite my heart. It’s been on and off since January through April; there were more episodes then, but in the summer there were none at all. Now I’m getting ready for a vacation, and with the kids, nerves, and chaos, the darn thing started acting up 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 extrasystole, though I had 68 supraventricular and 4 ventricular, tachycardia rarely. And the favorite diagnosis: VSD (vegetative-vascular dystonia). In plain Russian, it’s all nerves—all the issues come from that. I’ve become terribly anxious, with cardiophobia. Very often I feel short of breath, like attacks where it feels like a brick is tied to my chest. Basically, it’s a mess... At 28, I feel like an old granny who’s popping Corvalol, valerian, etc., etc. When I ignore the issues, life is easier and I don’t want to overthink. ECG is normal too. Heart ultrasound is normal. Thyroid is all within range. 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. Sometimes I feel them less, sometimes more. The quality of life is just terrible. I'm completely focused on one thing—my heart. And none of the doctors have given me a clear answer. They just prescribe bisoprolol or anaprilin, panangin, sedatives. 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 started for her. Maybe it's somehow related to anesthesia. I'm tired of thinking and guessing why and how. I want to live a full life. But with these systoles, it's not a life—it's torture.

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

Reading your messages makes me feel better, but only until it hits again! It's awful. I'm 30 and planning a pregnancy, but for the past week, it's been either the clinic or the ambulance... During monitoring, they disappear!!! They can't detect them!!! The ambulance can't either. But I feel every single one! Sometimes they come in pairs, triplets, or clusters, every 2 seconds... terrifying, terrifying attacks! They happen periodically during the day, but by evening, especially when lying down, it hits like crazy! I'm so exhausted! No one at home understands or supports me because the ambulance doctors say, "It's not dangerous, we don't see anything, you're fine"... as if I want to live like a neurotic person waiting for the next extrasystole. I especially love the ambulance's reaction: "Who told you these are extrasystoles?"... Then what are they??? I've tormented myself unbearably. If anyone finds 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 Holter monitor, and then these extrasystoles will be visible, especially when planning a pregnancy.
I myself have had WPW syndrome since childhood, had two RF ablations, and now extrasystoles have started appearing, either they weren't noticeable before during tachycardia attacks, 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 depression isn't far off... And I understand rationally - really, there's no particular danger, but the neurosis is still constant.

It's so scary when they happen, panic sets in immediately, tachycardia starts, shortness of breath (I also start thinking something is going to happen to me now, and I have kids 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, did a Holter, ultrasound, ECG, everything is normal, they diagnose arrhythmia.

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.
In general, you should get vitamin drips every six months, support your blood vessels and trace elements in the body)
We live in such times when daily stress is simply unavoidable!
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, nothing happens, but when I sit or lie down, the palpitations start. It's very scary, and there's tachycardia.

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

Yeah, only with the Holter on, nothing happens, but without it—as if on purpose. And nowadays they think that no matter how many extrasystoles you have, the treatment is worse than the disease. Supposedly, antiarrhythmics in the future only increase the risk of death. And the extrasystoles themselves aren't dangerous if they don't affect hemodynamics. So, cardiologists send you to neurologists or psychiatrists.
Елена
Dear women! If you have extrasystoles and haven't been examined yet, be sure to do so. But 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 increase adrenaline. 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 I 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, I don't remember exactly) found a solution—a tablet (0.5 mg or 1 mg) of phenazepam under the tongue. I treated my mother the same way for years, ditching the endless and useless pills prescribed at the local clinic. Now, I have another 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 on hand. My advice isn't a cure-all—this medication shouldn't be taken long-term or uncontrollably because it can lead to dependence. But if the episodes aren't constant or too frequent, you can try it. And if milder sedatives help, that's even better. The key is NOT TO PANIC, not to worsen your condition, but to find the right way 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 have a Holter monitor scheduled in 4 days. For now, they prescribed a sedative for these days, but it doesn't help much. And in the evening, my blood pressure rises to 150/80.
