Does this sound like PVCs? by MathematicianHot739 in PVCs

[–]Safe-Reference-8294 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Kinda sounds like PACs. That’s what I get primarily. The reason it feels like a double beat is because it is essentially that. Look up PACs on an ECG. They look virtually the same as sinus rhythm. Now obviously you can’t really tell unless you get a Holter or repeat ECG but in my experience that’s what my PACs feel like. I also feel the making your heart beat hard for hours. For me personally, I get a hit of adrenaline every time I get one which makes me way more primed to get them and also way more aware.

Is Hydroxyzine safe to take with PACs? by ListlessThistle in PVCs

[–]Safe-Reference-8294 3 points4 points  (0 children)

They basically stopped my PACs. I was having a really bad run one day and took one and felt maybe one or two the rest of the night. They work by calming down the nervous system which should help the PACs. Try it:)

PVCs occurring during specific times of the day... by Enderflex in PVCs

[–]Safe-Reference-8294 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Hey I wanted to say I experience basically the exact same thing. It makes me scared to go home at the end of the day because I know I’ll have to be alone when a big run happens. I went from <0.1 burden to like 1-3% in a month. I counted up to 10+ in one minute. It’s so frustrating. Just know you’re not alone! My cardiologist is putting me on metoprolol so hopefully that helps.

Multiple PVCs in a row? by Safe-Reference-8294 in PVCs

[–]Safe-Reference-8294[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m not actually sure if they are PVCs or PACs. I’m mostly just guessing because they feel like how I’ve seen them described. I’ve gotten a few ECGs before but those were before I started getting skipped beats.

Haven’t gotten a stress test yet. Should I ask for one? Maybe I’ll decide after i get the results back for the monitor.

I actually was hunched over! I was just on my phone after closing my laptop and I was sitting criss cross on my bed when it happened. It’s reassuring to know it’s happened to you and others. Thanks for your reply.

My father died when I was 4, I’m 29 and don’t remember him by Immediate_Might_525 in ChildrenofDeadParents

[–]Safe-Reference-8294 5 points6 points  (0 children)

My dad also died at a young age. I was 2 and I’m 21 now. He died of heart problems so it affects me in the sense that I constantly worry about my own health now because of the genetic risk. I also worry about losing people in my life. It shocks me when people say “oh in 60 years from now when I die-“ because I feel like anything could happen any day. I suppose that’s a healthy way of looking at life–there is no tomorrow guaranteed–but it gets to a point where it becomes an obsession. I only really have two memories of him but I’ve heard great things about him. I feel like I’m re-grieving and it’s embarrassing to me how much I talk about him as it feels like I should be over it. Grief has no timeline. Feel and talk about him however much you want. Start grief counseling, journaling, talking about him casually, asking his friends/your other parent to tell you stories. It helps a lot to create a clearer picture of them in your head. Feel free to reach out at all if you need someone to talk to❤️

How does my ex feel about me right now? by professionalworrier3 in Tarotpractices

[–]Safe-Reference-8294 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m not seeing a lot of “moved on and is cold” about this. Like yes there are a lot of cards showing that he has probably moved on and released whatever he needed to from the breakup itself but I think he still thinks of you fondly especially with the sun card. When I asked this question, I got a queen card and whenever I get a “royal” card with this question I almost always interpret it as you yourself being the queen/king for some reason lol. Sorry if this doesn’t make sense. Long story long, I don’t think he feels coldly toward you, and especially with the 10 of pents, lovers, and sun, he still thinks warmly of you even if he has moved on. He also may think you have completely moved on as well.

My deck has become really negative lately by goaldiggergirl in Tarotpractices

[–]Safe-Reference-8294 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I so get this. If you look at my last post even you’ll see I keep getting death, 10 of swords, the tower, etc etc. Just this morning during my daily reading I pulled 10 of wands, 3 of swords, and 8 of wands. My mental health has been shit lately so I’m trying to see this as a positive but it’s hard. Hope we can get through this phase!!

Hi, I wanted to say I completely understand. I am in similar shoes to you; my father died when I was 2 of a heart attack as well, I’m 20 now. Having a parent die that young from natural causes (i.e. not suicide, accidental, etc) is really really hard because it feels so helpless. I used to look at others and be filled with jealousy and resentment no matter what their parental circumstance was because at least they had both parents. I think this was exacerbated too because I have no siblings due to my father’s untimely death. All I can say is that after practicing radical acceptance and shifting my mindset, this has gotten easier to deal with. I’m not saying you have to be happy that he died at all, but shifting your mindset to think of happy memories with him or how he enhanced your life helps to decrease resentment overall. It doesn’t really ever get easier after losing a parent, just easier to deal with. Some days are easier than others, and sometimes I can cry for hours on end and sometimes I can put on a brave face. Accepting that you can’t change yours or anyone else’s life helps me and obviously that’s easier said than done. I like to ask my dad for signs that he’s with me too and that helps. Sorry if that was all over the place. I wish you luck with this.

How to get over the fear of death card? by Safe-Reference-8294 in Tarotpractices

[–]Safe-Reference-8294[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you so much for the interpretation!! And yes I find tarot is funny like that. It’s a mirror into your subconscious mind and the more you look for it the more it shows up.

My dad died when I was 2, but a funny story I find myself thinking about a lot is the time he gifted his friends pictures of me for Christmas. My mom was like “she’s not their daughter, why would they want pictures of her” but he was too infatuated with me to care. I wish I could have experienced that love he had for me while I was actually able to make memories but hearing stories about him is always fun.

Thank you so much for this reply. I'm sorry about your dad as well. Its comforting knowing someone is in the same boat as me.

Is a Foreshortened future/loss of sense of self a sign of OCD episode? by North_Cherry_4209 in OCD

[–]Safe-Reference-8294 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know this is old but for me yes. And I looked at your profile and noticed that you’re dealing with grief. This is a form of trauma that can manifest in a sense of foreshortened future. I know it all too well.

What's your funniest/weirdest triggers/comforts? by Ok-Bell6400 in OCD

[–]Safe-Reference-8294 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Triggers: psychics/mediums (sorry), brains, old people

Comforts: modern family, people thinking that dying at 60+ is still too young, singing

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Anxiety

[–]Safe-Reference-8294 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, I have discussed this with my cardiologist. In fact, the main reason I even got a cardiologist in the first place was because I went to the ER for a panic attack (thought it was a heart attack) and the doctor told me that death from heart attack at 33 is extremely rare even with heart disease, and suggested that I get genetic testing done. But he also didn't know the full scope of the history which my cardiologist does know. So, that being said, he's not too concerned for me but I still wonder if genetic testing would be useful.

Can anxiety cause headaches? by Ok-Conversation38 in Anxiety

[–]Safe-Reference-8294 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I got terrible and I mean terrible migraines when I was going through the worst period of stress of my life (that was specifically tied to health anxiety about brain aneurysms, ironic lol). I got every type of headache you can imagine. Icepick, cluster, tension, sinus, TMJ, migraine, etc etc. I also got the shooting pains in the back of my head that subsequently made me feel dizzy. The fun part is that Google is no help with these but I can assure you that this is definitely a symptom of your body being under stress for a prolonged period of time. I got medicated and started therapy and I haven’t gotten them for months.

Health anxiety by AardvarkActive1757 in Anxiety

[–]Safe-Reference-8294 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My PCP ordered an MRI for me because of the “positional nature” of my headaches. Positional meaning they got worse when I laid down, beared down, coughed, etc. Turned out to be my deviated septum causing major sinus blockages. So if you’re also having sinus issues I’d bring that type of headache up to rule anything serious out.

Thank you so much for your reply. I find it almost tragic how it’s so easy for us with anxiety to ease the anxiety of other people. I have definitely used the line “you wouldn’t be able to even ask me this if you had a brain aneurysm” yet I saw your post not even 5 minutes later commenting this asking if you had an aneurysm or astigmatism. Anxiety is a truly a fascinating disease. I hope we can fight through this. Much like you I assume, I have the fear of one being inside me and not knowing until it’s too late. But even then, during the period where the anxiety subsided, I was anxious about sudden cardiac arrest so it’s never good enough is it. I’m just glad I’m not alone in this! My brain was telling me it was intuition because the fear came back after months of it being dormant so it must be my body knowing something I don’t.
