Sorry it took so long to reply. I was trying to stay away for awhile cause sometimes it seems the more I read and think about it the more it happens. I have been to a cardiologist and had several tests. Blood work was all normal, stress test excellent, ecg normal and I even wore a monitor for 2 weeks and was able to get some of them on that. The final word was premature ventricular contractions probably caused by stress and probably not harmful at all. Somehow that doesn't help. I'm glad they're not harmful but they still feel harmful. It's like and endless circle. Anxiety causes the palps and the palps cause anxiety!! I really can't identify what I'm so stressed about anyway. I'm 43 with a husband and 4 kids, but so are alot of other people. I take Buspar twice a day for anxiety and have Zanax for as needed. I don't like to take the Zanax, though cause I don't want to be dependent on them. My Dr. assures me that they are a very low dose and if taken only as needed, everything will be fine. I still wonder, though, is this for the rest of my life?!! I don't think I will ever become accustomed to them. Anyway, thanks for listening and I hope your test went alright. I'm sure you were frightened. Let me know what happened, if you want.
