I have a new symptom that I've been dealing with over the past two to three months. I'm having an uptick in heart palpitations and occasional chest pain. My PCP put me on nitro for the chest pain and my cardiologist said there is nothing to worry about with the frequent PVCs that I'm experiencing

Hi Doug, wow, it sounds like you have a lot on your plate. You must have pretty serious cardiac issues to be a candidate for a pacemaker. I wish you the best. Thanks so much for sharing your information with me and please do let us all know how things work out for you.

I know exactly what you mean Marybeth. I have a lot of chest pain along with frequent strings of PVCs that leave me feeling a bit lightheaded and short of breath. My cardiologist tells me that my heart is in perfect shape and there's nothing wrong with it. So why all these mysterious symptoms??? I'm a mystery too. Very frustrating, isn't it? Sometimes, I think my doctors think I'm faking it and trying to get attention. 😇
Thanks Diane. There's never anything pressing wrong with my heart when I'm having symptoms. I have normal EKG and everything else. I'm a mystery. I will be seeing cardio again next month for 4 month visit. It's scary cause getting older you don't know if the pain is finally the big one coming.
Marybeth, sounds like you should see your doctor for this increase in symptoms. Chest pain is scary and could be telling you to see your cardiologist! And by the way......64 is young!!! Keep us posted and let us know how you're doing. Wishing you all the very best!
