Hi Jaqui, and thanks for the reply, do you also get the tachycardia ?

i have had this quite severly for two years and have found it hard to
cope with, i usually have to rest a lot with it, to get the heart rate
to subside, i have asked my cardio if any of it is linked to hormones
because i find that once a month my symptomes are even worse, i thought
there was a link, he says they are not sure,

i also get most of my ectopics at this time and a burst of "svt" ...
one of the times i was in the hospital i was having the ectopics every
other beat for hours and you could see them on the monitor my husband
was amazed and kept on saying "theres another one" i am glad he was
having some amusement out of it,

this episode occured after being admitted with an "svt" attack ... i get
these from time to time they just come from nowhere, and my heart just
goes so so fast ....

re stress: well we all know that stress will make any situation worse
and when you have a heart problem then stress is something to avoid if
you can, i just let things go over my head now i can't handle stress or
anxiety very well .....

i found that reading others stories about the missed and ectopic made me
less afraid, and i agree even though you are being told they are normal
you still feel something is wrong ... i trust what my cardio tells me,
although i too still get a little anxious about it all.....
