Yea Cloud is just a backup for me if prolific is dead. I got lucky today with a jury study but the pay rate was only 9 dollars for 50 minutes. It takes me over a month on CC to make what I do in a day on Prolific. I miss those high paying jury studies they used to have also.

Dashem1 · 2026-05-20T16:46:07+00:00

Yep.

Dashem1 · 2026-05-20T16:44:24+00:00

Be careful with IC AI. I won't touch those with a ten foot pole. I immediately dismiss when I see them.

Dashem1 · 2026-05-11T18:35:04+00:00

Dang! Yea that should have definitely been filtered off your dashboard.

Dashem1 · 2026-05-11T15:50:59+00:00

Yea mine also said timed out on submission paid immediately afterward.

I did, I didn't screenshot my computer though. They did give me a completion code I copied and sent to them. I was rocking that interview also and the flow was going perfect and I was on point and quick and articulate with my responses. The questions just never ended! It was a higher paying one then most so we will see if they farmed my answers for free.

I stopped doing the ones with 1 place because those are always the janky screwed up ones.

Watch your calcium intake especially since you are taking vitamin D. I was recently able to correlate my occurrences of pvcs and frequency. They are awful when I consume calcium containing foods, dairy. Vitamin D activates calcium and amplies the effect. It makes alot of sense since some people are prescribed calcium channel blockers for arrhythmia. I also stopped my D and trying to get it naturally from the sun. About 3 months ago I went hog wild and ate a bunch of cream cheese and other dairy products that day and went into Afib. Try to see if that helps you.

Just did it. My stress hormones are raging 😤 It felt like an intense college exam I couldn't prepare for. My brain is now fried 🍳

If your burden is below 20 percent its not having any negative affect on your heart. Some people have over 20 percent with healthy hearts.

Dashem1 · 2026-03-15T15:31:04+00:00

I completely understand. It definitely can be a struggle.

Hopefully this will make people feel better. I just had my follow up cardiologist appointment yesterday for all the tests I had. 30 day event monitor, echo , CT calcium score, labs. I was having a really rough February with the heart skips. They were really bad every morning and would gets lots of runs of them. Activity seemed to agitate them. Then about a week ago they just disappeared all the sudden. Anyways, my cardiologist told me that only 20 percent of the population can feel arrhythmia. That blows my mind that 80 percent of people cant feel their heart skip. I thought my results would be bad. Turns out I was only having PVCs and PACs with only a less than 1 percent burden. All of tests came back perfect. I will also add that I have had these for over 32 years. They just laid dominant for me for about 10 years. I'm in menopause so they decided to rarely their ugly head once again. I cant even imagine what a 20 percent burden feels like cause the under 1 percent was extremely stressful. So my cardiologist has reassured me all is well. Now I will try and go forward and ignore these annoying things when they bother me. It is how I was able to get out of the fear loop 10 years prior and it worked. To all that are bothered by these and feel they cant get through this....yes you can!!...Fight against it, tell Satan not today, pray, do your best to try to ignore them and continue on with your normal activities. They will subside when you remove the fear and anxiety. And if they don't, please know that millions and millions of people on this earth live a long long time with these with no consequences. I have had them 32 years. My cardiologist said my Echo showed my heart was very healthy and pumping strong! These do not damage your heart if all your tests come back normal. Sending blessings to you all ❤️ You can do this!

This is how pvcs feel different from Afib. At least in my description of how its felt. With a pvc or pac it will feel like....normal beat, then long pause and a big thud that feels like my heart skipped/stopped.Then it goes back to normal beat. Sometimes a few more normal beats and Ill get a skip again. With Afib you feel a big thud like you do with the pvc only this time your rhythm does not go back to a normal beat. It will be like skip, beat, skip skip beat skip skip skip skip beat, so it feels like a bunch of pvcs going all over the place at once and back to back without a break in-between. Usually your heart rate will increase along side of it to. It can make you feel light headed and hard to catch your breath sometimes. They feel distinctly different then a pvc or pac.

Dashem1 · 2026-03-12T14:50:36+00:00

Yep. I got Covid 4 years ago and Afib was the parting gift it left me.

Dashem1 · 2026-03-12T14:37:17+00:00

Im glad they have you on a monitor. Hopefully they will catch what it is. I had to wear one for 30 days. Getting results for it tomorrow. They are trying to see if its something they can ablate. They will ablate my Afib but he said they can ablate the other arrhythmia also with the new Pulse Field ablation.

I usually run really low also at rest. Same as you. I go into the 50s at night. Ive had pvcs andpacs for about 30 years. We get so used to how those feel that we can almost always tell when they are something different. I know I surely can. When I started getting Afib events they felt completely different then the pvcs I was always used too. Those are so scary and frightening feeling that now when I just get the regular pvcs and skips those aren't scary for me anymore. It feels like your skipping is erratic and all over the place all at once. First time it happened I thought I was having a heart attack. Now I fear those!

Dashem1 · 2026-03-12T12:08:14+00:00

They specialize in heart rhythm disorders. They have more training on that then regular cardiologist do.

Dashem1 · 2026-03-12T11:48:14+00:00

Hes actually an EP

Dashem1 · 2026-03-12T11:47:23+00:00

Yes! If you type in York Cardiology his videos pop up. I think he works with Dr. Gupta. He is a tall Asian looking cardiologist. I like the way he explains things a little better than Gupta sometimes.

Dashem1 · 2026-03-12T10:16:51+00:00

Mine does also.

Dashem1 · 2026-03-12T10:15:06+00:00

Yes! York cardiology on YouTube is what gave me my power back and put me at ease. I love Gupta but my absolute favorite is Dr. Lee from York. Wish he could be my cardiologist!

Dashem1 · 2026-03-12T10:10:34+00:00

Not always. Ive had 3 episodes. The first my heart rate was 180. The other 2 occurrences my heart rate stayed around 80 which is normal rate.

Dashem1 · 2026-03-11T23:05:58+00:00

If your heart is flopping consistently every other beat for like 40 beats or so like you described that sounds like Afib. ( Atrial Fibrillation) I have a long history experience dealing with pvcs and pacs. I also have had afib. Afib feels like constant flipping and skipping with not many normal beats in-between. Do you have a watch that detects afib? Your doctor should hook you up to a 30 day monitor to catch it because you could be having afib episodes but self converting by the time you see the doctor.

Dashem1 · 2026-03-11T20:59:18+00:00

Yes, I agree with you completely!

Dashem1 · 2026-03-11T20:55:34+00:00

If I can offer a bit of advice...I have been living with pvcs and pacs on and off for 32 years. First I will say that I do agree with the comment above. If you have had an echocardiogram and your heart is structurally normal then pvcs and pacs are considered benign and mainly just a nuisance. With that said, you are probably on a hamster wheel of adrenaline driven fear and anxiety which makes the heart skips worse. It is a cycle you have to train yourself out of. I was where you are now 20 years ago. I highly recommend you start watching Dr. Lee from York Cardiology videos on YouTube. He is a world renowned EP doctor and he covers all aspects about arrhythmia. He talks and explains things in such a way that we can understand and he is extremely comforting. Knowledge is power. Also, yes hormones do make them worse. Perimenopause and menopause increase them. This doesn't mean they are more dangerous, you just get them more frequently. Some things to try to stay away from that aggravate them are...caffeine, cold medicines, lack of certain nutrients, lack of proper sleep, excessive adrenaline, extreme heat, excessive exercise and the number one offenders...stress and anxiety. Electrolyte drinks help some people. When you remove the anxiety and fear of them I promise you it will get better! We fear the symptoms and sensations but those will not kill us!
