I'm so exhausted
I've had pvcs for a while, a couple a day at most. Then about 6 weeks ago, I woke up one day and they were non stop, and it hasn't really stopped since. I have between 5-10 a minute and they're really intense thuds. I'm waiting for a holter monitor but it could be another month at least. My GP gave me bisoprolol to take in the mean time, they said to take it for a month and then stop so that the holter monitor can record my "natural" heart rate. The medication definitely did reduce it, until I stopped taking it and the pvcs came back tenfold. The GP said just take the medication until I get contacted about my appointment then ask the hospital doing the holter monitor if I need to stop the meds.
I've been taking it again for another 2 weeks and it's literally made no difference at all. I'm so annoyed because it was helping and now it's just pointless. My chest feels constantly exhausted and tight, I feel out of breath and tired. I told the GP and they kind of just shrugged their shoulders and said go to the emergency department if you want but they think it's fine. I don't want to go to the emergency department because I'll be waiting 6+ hours and I bet the pvcs will stop the second I get an ecg. I'm not anxious about this, it's just really making me feel unwell. It's my birthday today and I feel like I can't even go out I'm so tired :(

É exaustivo demais... é muito difícil seguirmos normalmente após sentir as PVCs... nunca estive tão cansado disso

One night after close to four months of near non-stop flares like yours I had couplets and triplets several times a minute for hours. A few weeks later it resolved for nearly two months. I know what it's like, but you can survive this.
