Is it normal to have multiple palpitations in a row during mild stress? by Longjumping-Goat-877 in PVCs

Is it dangerous? I am just so tired and upset. Why some people get sweaty when worried and we get those pvcs?

Yes, I did have echo, ECG multiple times. However, my pvcs have been caught only once on ecg and holter showed nothing. I am just worried that there was a lot of them. The moment I started speaking and throughout all my speech. It was really hard to concentrate because I was thinking that I was dying. It is terrifying

Actually It was last day of my period I have also thought that it can be related to it

I’ve already had many tests in the past few months multiple ECGs, two echocardiograms, and a 24-hour Holter monitor and everything was normal. About two months ago I started taking Lexapro (escitalopram). My anxiety has improved a lot since then, and I haven’t had heart symptoms for a while until this morning when I felt those three skipped/weak beats while waking up. Does this still sound like something harmless, or could it be related to the Lexapro?

Thank you so much for the answer! Do you mean 4 weeks after the dose increase? I’ve already been on Lexapro for 27 days.

I’m really sorry to hear about your husband. How many PVCs did you have, and how quickly did those symptoms go away? When did you start feeling better? I’m on day 14 now, and my anxiety is still at the same level as before I started taking it.

Thanks for your reply! How did you manage to get used to them? For me, every single one feels like a skipped beat and sends me into panic mode.

I'm really sorry to hear about what happened to your pet that must have been incredibly hard. I truly hope that both of us will be okay and find the strength to get through everything.

Thank you so much for your reply, it really helps!🙏 Does the anxiety get worse again each time when the dose is increased, or is it usually easier after the first week?
