Hello everyone,
Is there anyone here who works shifts like I do? I know it poses risks for heart health, and I would love to hear your stories. Since I work in the aviation sector, it is unfortunately very difficult for me to find a non-shift role. How have you managed to handle this situation?
Hello, it’s currently 03:37 here and I just had a very scary episode and I can’t sleep. Normally, I would have small occasional PVCs during the day and I had gotten used to them, but just now while I was sleeping, my heart started beating very fast and forcefully for 5–6 beats in a row. I thought I was dreaming, then I became short of breath and woke up. Right now I’m still getting occasional single thumps, and I’m lying in bed crying. What is going wrong? Are my PVCs getting much worse, and will they continue to get worse? I’m going to start working shifts soon because I have to. Is everything going to get worse? I don’t want to quit my job.
PS: I have seen cardiologist before this incident and he told me there was nothing to worry. I just have first degree AV block.
