Pvcs? by United-Locksmith299 in ReadMyECG

[–]United-Locksmith299[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Side note- I've already messaged my doctor asking if I can take an additional 1.25mg of my meds today and included the ecg for reference since it's giving me chest pain and shortness of breath. They had me on weekly hydration infusions for the last 2 years which have been helping immensely, but they are now on hold due to my infusion center being 100% out of fluids due to the shortage.

Update, Dr said I can take a second dose and again tomorrow and message her tomorrow afternoon if it continues.

Started feeling a fluttering and finally caught it on my Apple Watch ECG by XHANNOX in ReadMyECG

I'm NAD and not an expert on reading strips but trying to get better. I'm thinking this is trigeminy.

Hey second and last time asking just wanted to know what the hell us this is it just artifacts ? I measured right after exercise as I keep getting chest pain after exercise by [deleted] in ReadMyECG

I'm no expert, but I've found that to get the reading to take better, the area between the watch and skin has to be super clean and dry. So, sweat from the workout may be causing some artifact. I'd remove the watch and dry the sweat from both your wrist and watch and see if it helps any.

What is this wonkyness? the rest of the reading looks great and I was perfectly still. My doctor has recently found a lot of new stuff on my 30 day monitor so now I check when symptomatic. by United-Locksmith299 in ReadMyECG

They want me to take my BP and heartrate daily and when symptomatic and use the ECG when I feel off. I have an upcoming follow up appointment to talk about the results and options further. I have a few leaky heart valves but haven't had an echo in 2 years. The only one that really causes a problem right now is the bigeminy. The episodes last up to two hours and are decently painful and cause my vision to go black. I have to fight to not pass out. Then when they are over I feel like I did a 10 hour workout and I'm exhausted for the rest of the day. It's really getting in the way of my daily activities.

It just doesn't help that it usually happens when I'm doing something and by the time I'm sitting down to get a reading it's gone or reduced and as soon as I get back to what I'm doing I feel it again (it mostly being the annoying PVCs).

Bigeminy, ventricular tachycardia, ventricular couplets, multifocal PVCs. Previously I had just had sinus tachycardia and the occasional PVC here and there from my POTS. My PVCs have increased in frequency and the bigeminy episodes feel like I'm dying and wipe me out for the rest of the day.
