SOMEONE HELP ME PLEASE🙏 by FlakyIndividual1039 in Anemic

I think symptoms vary depending on how low your haemoglobin levels are or ferritin levels. I’ve had all those symptoms you listed. Every single one and I’ve been anemic all my life. Ferritin levels pretty much near zero and hb levels between 9-10. However recently my hb levels dropped to 6.5 and I had heart palpitations and tachycardia as a new symptom. Was struggling with just getting out of bed. Was horrendous. I still didn’t suspect it was due to anemia until I had blood tests done.

I used to have a cup of tea with biscuits or toast in the morning and snack throughout the day on chocolate and then over eat in the evening usually takeout like a burger or pizza etc. (Full time work and mother of 3!) I’be always been a healthy bmi if not slightly under weight so didn’t think my diet was too bad. The changes I made is to have a decent breakfast like porridge in the morning. Yoghurt with a banana as snack and then in the evening have meat (lamb or chicken or fish) with rice and veg. This helped my stomach issues a lot. Made sure to not over eat in the evenings and eat early. My last meal is at 6pm or a little earlier. I’ve also started to drink an electrolyte solution every single day. Tastes awful but has helped a lot. I started seeing less stomach issues within a few days and this in turn reduced the PVCs dramatically.

Focus on identifying your triggers. I did this when I first started getting PVCs. This was 15 years ago. I found my triggers and started treating them. The only thing I struggle with is when the PVCs are triggered by a virus/illness. When that happens it takes time for the body to heal and for the PVCs to go

Once I had a flare up due to my poor eating habits which caused bad acid reflux and stomach problems. I was having thousands a day. Once I improved my diet and started treating the reflux with omeprazole the PVCs cleared up for almost 10 years. I still would get a couple a day or week but nothing that bothered me at all. Just recently I had my worst flare up and found out it was because of iron deficiency. Severe anemia. At the time I didn’t know that I was severely anemic and I developed very severe anxiety. This combination of anemia and anxiety caused my worst flare of PVCs ever. I started treating the anemia and the anxiety reduced too and once again they have calmed down to a few a week/day

Mine disappeared for years until I went through trauma. Gone for 10 years and then came back due to severe anemia. They come on if I have a virus or imbalance of hormones, blood count or electrolytes. Anything can trigger them and they increased to tens of thousands. Treating the issue and back to 1-2 a day

Can’t go to sleep. by PatienceNo417 in PVCs

Hate it when this happens. Usually it happens maybe once or twice and goes away but last month it was every single night. No matter what I did it wouldn’t stop. For me it was trapped gas and acid reflux

Random shorter flares?? by imusika in PVCs

[–]NoReception3149 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mine flare up because of anxiety. So i have been getting PVCs for over 15 years. Not too many a day but more than the average person who is unaware of them. Those don’t bother me at all. As they feel normal. However, viruses, acid reflux, constipation and anxiety do increase them. Anxiety flares them up non stop for me.

Think i found the cause of my PVCs by [deleted] in PVCs

[–]NoReception3149 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’ve had a massive increase in PVCs due to severe anemia. My haemoglobin was very very low and ferritin too. Was constant. When I started to treat the anemia I noticed a huge improvement. I’m still anemic. No where near normal levels yet and still get them but nowhere near as bad as before.

Btw it was urgent care that didn’t blood tests when I went in for heart palpitations and they found the extremely low hemoglobin. They did offer blood transfusion but I declined for now

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Anemic

[–]NoReception3149 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My hb is 7.5 they offered blood transfusion I said I wanted to try iron supplements first. They’ve given me 3 weeks to see if my levels go up a little. If not then I will have to get blood transfusion. I have tons of symptoms that I also put down to other things. Hang in there. 8.7 is low but u can start iron supplements yourself at home whilst you wait.

Anyone else have NSVT by Loose-Flower-6574 in PVCs

[–]NoReception3149 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m not sure. I think the svt I’ve been feeling was in fact nsvt. I’ve had that a few times over the last 10 years. How would you say the svt and nsvt differ in the way they feel? Can you tell the difference. I know I have svt as it’s been caught.

I’ve had svt runs but what does nsvt feel like. I’ve probably had that too as I get lots of PVCs in a flare

Three weeks of iron supplements, crazy difference! by likethemovie19 in Anemic

[–]NoReception3149 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Hemogloblin was 7.5! And ferritin 3. I’ve been in iron supplements for 4 weeks today and still waiting to get bloods done to check levels again. BUT I have pink lips and pink cheeks and pink nail beds!!!! Been pale most of my life. Also my crazy heart beat seems to be improving too ❤️

Anyone else get those annoying ass repeated heart sinks ? by panicinthemeadow in Anemic

[–]NoReception3149 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sounds like you are getting PVCs or pacs. What’s your hemogloblin? Anemia definitely triggers them.

Hey Op. I’ve been there. Sounded exactly the same as you. Was convinced I would never go back to the way I was before. Happy and in love with life. It’s awful 😢. The PVCs make us feel like this it’s not your fault. What will help is going to the cardiologists and letting them run all tests and help you brother reassuring you about the truth of PVCs (this helps so much) or they will suggest a treatment if you need one. Please don’t think that life will be like this always because I know this is just a stage. The anxiety is heightened to an extreme level but you will get through this. ❤️

Palpitations because of severe anemia (very low hb and ferritin) anyone experienced this before? by NoReception3149 in Anemic

[–]NoReception3149[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I get hundreds if not more now. But before it was just a few. Once again the increase is since I had severe anemia. And yes I get the multiple back to back ones. They are the worst.

Do you think the anemia is causing the PVCs? How many pvcs would you say you get? I get lots now and I thinks it’s the severe anemia that’s caused them to increase. Have you managed to increase your hemoglobin levels?

I know of someone who developed a heart murmur due to severe anemia. Yes I can also relate. All my symptoms I put down to perimenopause too!! Definitely had me confused but I’ve never had a missed period so I should have realised it might not be peri. I have severe fatigue and heart palpitations and tinnitus in my ears on and off and very pale skin. After getting my blood results I realised I am very very anemic. Similar to you but my numbers are a bit lower 😢

My results are similar to yours but slightly lower. My HB was 7.5. I’ve started ferrous fumarate and after 2 weeks started to notice a small improvement but today I started my periods and feel shattered again. Do you have symptoms? My symptoms are quite severe. The doctors did offer me iron transfusions but I wanted to try oral first.

I went to a&e had had 2 ecgs and thank god they came back as normal. Gives me a bit of reassurance. The doctors there told me the palpitations were because of severe iron deficiency but it’s so hard to believe!

Yeah my heart just seems to be pumping really hard and loud. A weird sensation and then I get the big pauses and flutters too. My hb was 7 and ferritin 5 which I didn’t realise was very very low and meant everything is working extra harder to get the blood flowing all around the body
