PVC's and fibro

Does anyone else have pvc's (heart jumps) with fibro?

I not only have pain and fatigue, I get these pvc's.
The dr. says it's benign but they scare me.

Is anyone else having this??

The last few years I have had my heart just banging away in my chest for no reason. Once when I was trying to change the sheets on the bed - I was sure I was a goner.

I've had a bunch of heart tests done and everything came back normal.

It scares the heck out of me when it happens.

Oh My Yes! I've had these soft gentle flutters to hard knocking flipping sensations in my chest forever it seems. About 2 years ago it was nearly daily so my doctor had me do a Halter monitor, then the two week heart monitor thing, then he sent me to a electrocardiology specialist who did the stress test and the echocardigram. All showed "NOTHING" wrong. During the two week monitor thing I even got a call from the monitor company to go to an ER immediately and the ER physician said nothing was wrong, that all I needed to do was start taking Rx potassium everyday. Like I said, that was like two years ago. When I went to this new doctor for diagnosis of my symptoms, he was very interested and concerned about the way my symptoms were treated. He also mentioned though that sometimes we can have muscle spasms or nerve spasms in our chest wall near the heart that would make us think its the heart, but of course its not. So, we'll see.
Get it checked out either way.

Wow! This just happened to me last night and I was afraid it was the new med. I'm taking to sleep - that is actually working! I'vebeen taking the med. and this hasn't happened before.

I took the meds. and went straight to bed so I wouldn't fire them up to turn the other way and keep me up like some do.

I layed there and my heart started going like a drum BUM um um, BUM um um, BUM um um. I started feeling my chest then my wrist then finally my neck and there was my pulse BUM um um - none stop - like it wanted to jump out of my body. The meds. finally took control and I fell asleep.

But today I told my oldest daughter about it and she said "Yep. I've had that." She has a spinal cord disease that has a lot of symptoms that we have - nerve and muscle pain etc...
