Ok here goes, I dont these are related to my BP but I needed to post somewhere where someone can maybe help me.
Since late May I have had a few episodes of pre syncope, and then since Aug 20th I have had milder lightheadedness often at least daily. These episodes freak me out,they are so scary. I am a 28 year old female and I have ha tons of testing but no answers. We know for sure its not my ears and I have no spinning sensation. I have PVCS and PACS and in the past I have had episodes of a fast heart rate, sometimes still but I dont freak over that anymore. I have had some episodes where my heart beats hard and fast for a few seconRAB, starts off like hard thumps quivers enRAB with a few big bangs and is gone, while this happens I cant breath. My early beats feel like flutters and they take my breath too. I feel all the PACS but only some of the PVCS unless my doctor does not know the difference. Since early may I have had an increase in these early beats, I use to get one every now and again and then for some reason they just came several a minute for HOURS on end. I thought I was gone for sure. I had another cardiac work up in early May but this is before the lightheadedness started so when I went back to the cardio for the lightheadedness he said all was fine and refused anymore testing. I did have a EP study in 2004 which was normal.
I have never had this faint feeling before and the big episodes last for only seconRAB but they really scare me. Latley I have been consumed with fear and anxiety. I dont know what else to do at this point and I am worried for my life.
We know for sure its not my ears and I have had a negative brain MRI but they noted that I do a Nystums in my eyes (fast beat to the right). I try to remain positive and tell myself that maybe its nothing serious and that is not my heart but everything I read points to this feeling being cardiac and it also says that 20 to the 30 percent of people that have this die from sudden death within the first year... I know I should stop researching but I cant. I can not move on and live my life because every moment is pure fear. This is a sad way to live. Its not anxiety, I have had this before and know what it feels like although I am getting anxiety from the feeling and fear that I am having.
I have had my blood pressure tested many times and tested in different positions and the findings were normal. I also want to note that these spells can happen in any position, sitting down mostly (but not like I just sat down) sometimes a few minutes after and even once 30 min after. They happen when I am laying down also, it just does not matter.
Any thoughts? thank you so much in advance for any help you can provide.
