Me too!! At the ripe age of 8 I freaked out my doctor because I was having sustained runs of VT while showing no signs of discomfort lol. Then the same thing happened years later with a new cardiologist when I was having very frequent PVCs. I'm now on fleccanide, along with my beta blocker and it's helped with the irregularities sooooo much. Got me down from about 12% irregular beats in 72 hours to about 2%!

I had a hr of like 140-150 in the ER once and the doc was like "are you uh,,,,,,,,, you feeling okay? are you nauseous or dizzy at all?" like buddy I hate to break it to you but those are rookie numbers. my favorite party trick is showing medical professionals the results of a 30 day holter monitor that showed multiple instances where I should've died. I am so much more powerful than most doctors can handle

I cannot imagine having palpitations for more than a couple seconds. That would freak me out

before I went on meds for supraventricular tachycardia, I was having palpitations constantly. It was an absolute nightmare! Beta-blockers have helped me an extraordinary amount.
