!!HELP!!/Ingrid//PVC's, PAC's

[Guest guest]

Hi, Ingrid,

PVC's: premature ventricular contractions

PAC's: premature atrial contractions

What they feel like to me is a skipped beat, then the next is really hard,

thumping me good! I don't know the difference, when I have them, between

PVC/PAC...just got that information from the Holter monitor report.

As far as the fast pulse and tachycardia, it does seem to be more common to have

a slow heartbeat (with hypothyroidism)...doctors have told me that I couldn't be

hypo as my heart rate was too fast.

Did you have your ferritin tested? Seems like yours was low? That can also

cause the tachycardia upon any exertion. I'd get extremely breathless even on

walking up a half-flight of stairs, also had the sensation that I had to

constantly yawn to get enough air. Being cold, tired, achy also can be

symptoms. These symptoms are better since I've been on ferrous sulfate.

RE: !!HELP!!

Let me know what you figure out. My husband has high mercury, and low

thyroid in the form of hashi's, and he gets tachacardia

Often after we eat out. We can not figure out the cause. He cut his

thyroid,

thinking that was it, and became much more hypo. That clearlywas not the

answer. He thinks he has heart problems, so he is reluctant to up the

armour

too quickly. I think he needs more armour, and he thinks he needs less.

I have no irregular heartbeat that I'm aware of but do have all these symptoms

you mentioned: " I'd get extremely breathless even on walking up a half-flight of

stairs, also had the sensation that I had to constantly yawn to get enough air.

Being cold, tired, achy also can be symptoms. " Does this mean I have low

iron/ferritin then & need extra ferrous sulfate?

NO I havenot had my ferretin tested...can't afford a doctor right now

anyway.

3 Years ago was my last hair analysis and it showed quite a high iron level

in my hair. That generally means the body is EXcreting a lot of iron, I

think

..

What about the good old inside of the eyelids test?

Shouldn't they be pale if one's iron level is toolow, or am I missing

someting here?

I do have a problem exerting myself AT ALL. Hmmmm.....

How can I self test?
