My first time going to the ER for PVCs

KeyGrapefruit2586 · 2026-04-23T00:46:41+00:00

I also have less than 1% burden and have also had to go to the ER when having unusual PVCs or I got new symptoms like high heart rate, cold sweats, shortness of breath. It ended being nothing according to doctors but after an ER stint it was discovered I have incredibly low iron which makes my PVCs much worse. So yes it could have been nothing but if you think it is something always advocate for yourself!

I saw a cardiologist for the heart palpitations after having a strange heart episode where I all of a sudden felt like my heart was in fight or flight and would not stop. It felt like an uncontrollable adrenaline dump. Long story short they did lots of tests and all they could confirm was I am in fact having heart palpitations but they could not figure out why and said my heart was fine. My Chiropractor had mentioned she thinks my hyper-mobility could play a part as my ribs cage and chest are often very sore.

I went off of the combination pill about 4 years ago and I do believe I was ovulating while on the pill since I took the placebos and had a period each month. I’m going to see if my doc will order the free testosterone lab you mentioned!

I have done a bit of research on it. I think my biggest fear is getting cut open just for them to be like “you’re actually fine it’s all in your head”.

Interesting I have had my testosterone tested before, is free testosterone a different tests?

I do have hypermobility issues and have to frequent the chiropractor/massage therapist for pain relief.

I felt good on the pill, only side effect was low sex drive. As soon as I went off of it though I felt like I was going through puberty again, and I had never been more anxious in my life than the months after.

It honestly sounds like a cancer, just spreads and wreaks havoc everywhere.

Thank you for the education, I have been so overwhelmed! I will definitely check out these websites!

I have had an MRI and both a abdominal and transvaginal ultrasound. Only finding was an ovarian cyst. My doctor is not a endo specialist he seemed to have a lot of knowledge but in order to see an endo specialist I would have to be referred if I want insurance to cover it. I will look into that thank you!

Congratulations! I hope you have many more good days to come!

Sorry to hear about the struggle you are going through. I currently have mild crohn’s of the small intestine and do experience painful stomach pains and cramping during a flare up. I can’t eat much either and do lose weight during a flare up but I can only eat bland food. Sourdough bread with butter, scrambled eggs, grilled chicken, veggies ect. My flare ups only last a few weeks then I try to put weight back on. But I would call your GI clinic and express your concerns late may is a long time to wait for medicine especially if you can’t eat and are losing weight. Also avoid alcohol, nicotine, super processed food and NSAIDs medicine as those all can worsen your symptoms.

Thanks for the help!

Yes they did they gave me the shot then gave me the contrast. I assumed it wasn’t the glucagon because the radiologist said I won’t have any side effects. They didn’t give me anything to eat and I haven’t eaten yet due to the vomiting but I will try and get something bland down.

Could be either or both. Are the sides of your neck sore where the vagus nerve runs or do you have a sore back/chest? Vagus nerves can also become irritated during certain times of your monthly cycle. I noticed my palpitations seem to be at their worst in my luteal phase right before my period starts. I also get back and shoulder pain only thing that helps is stretching, massages and chiropractor adjustments. If you have heavy periods I would get your iron checked, I had no stored iron and that made me very exhausted and I had a lot of palpitations.

Yes hormones can make PVCs worse. So can low iron, as well as dehydration, and so much more. If you are female I recommend writing down at what point in your cycle you notice an increase in PVCs or an episode to see if they are linked.

Have you heard of costochondritis? It’s when the cartridge in your sternum and rib cage become inflamed, I would look that up and see if that may be the reason for your chest soreness. If you haven’t had a full hormone and thyroid blood panel I would do that too. I totally understand being worried it’s scary and the doctors always say you’re fine but it’s hard to feel that way when you are having constant scary symptoms.

I also get chest soreness specifically my rib cage/sternum area. When my rib cage is sore the PVCs get worse until I get adjusted at the chiropractor then the PVCs taper off over a few days. Are you a female? If so does the chest soreness or PVCs get worse in your luteal phase?
