    Now my heart is worse than before

    For the past 5 days I had been having long runs of PVCs, but they would stop for a little while and then start up again. Now they are constant, my heart is in a constant state of PVCs. I have syncope and SOB.

    My blood pressure is 80/50 and my heart rate is 50.
    I may go back to the hospital today.

    I don't why this is happening, I have not been upset for a while and my husband is being nice now. But my heart is so messed up.

    I cannot post until this goes away, too many white-outs.

    Thank you to everyone. I'll post when I can.

    Hugs to All

        I'm still having these runs of PVCs and then I have moments of Bigeminy (sp?)

        I'll be okay, but boy I am so exhausted.

            I just thought of something are you taking potassium and if you are how much because it is just as dangerous to take too much potassium as it is to take too little and taking too much can give you rhythm problems

              Hi everyone,

              Yes, Lisa I can call you today. I hate to keep bugging you though.

              Hi Shirley,
              When I went to the hosptial on Friday night, they did blood work and said that everything came back normal. Thank you Shirely for your help and for thinking of me.

              The PVCs are a little better today, I'll be okay. However, now, I feel as though I am coming down with a cold. Maybe that had something to do with yesterday's problem.

              Thank you everyone for your concern. You guys are so great.

              Hugs,
