I don’t even know if my heart issue is PVCs, my heart pauses, holter monitor and echocardiogram were both logged as normal and holter showed 1% burden but that was in late December, I didn’t have any pauses whilst on the monitor so how can I be sure the pauses aren’t soemthinf different, it’s the contrast dye which is terrifying me, I’ve read it can cause or worsen arrhythmias, I’m about to go in in probably about 30 minutes, help😢

13 days postpartum I had a bad feeling and went to a & e, my d dimer was 1.1, they give me a blood thinning injection and sent me home and now my ct scan is today, I am terrified, I struggle with PVCs in my heart and I’m scared I’ll freak out if they happen when I’m in there, I’m also very claustrophobic and I just kno I’m going to freak out, it’s so random for me to have a blood clot, I had a vaginal delivery, stayed active and on my feet since birth, I’m underweight and no one in my family has every had a blood clot. 😢

I wanted to know if anyone had the exact same feeling as I do, I feel so depressed I’m only 17 and I’m basically housebound, I don’t see friends or socialise, my PVCs feel like my chest goes hollow and I can feel my heart squeeze and when I go to check my pulse I’m pulseless for a sec or two and when they happen it’s like a full body rush of adrenaline , I don’t feel a hard thump or thud like everyone describes, so is it even PVCs I am feeling? These started when I was 18 weeks pregnant and I’m now 10 days postpartum and they have worsened postpartum, I thought they’d go away, I had a holter monitor in January which showed 1% burden PVCs bur I felt no pauses I didn’t feel any at all while it was on, could that mean my burden is higher? I also had a echocardiogram classed as normal but my EF was 55% being 17 years old slim I shouldn’t be on the lower normal side of ejection fraction. I am so scared, I want another holter but I am in the uk and literally don’t get listened to, I’ve felt pauses that were around 2.5-3 seconds before too and I called a ambulance but ofcourse it took that long they dissapeared, I have a Apple Watch ecg as icant afford a karaoke but because they happen randomly in the day I can never catch.
