While on the calcium trip…

Since we’re on the calcium trip…
I get skipped heart beats (very scary), I’ve been told they’re “just”
PVC’s and not to worry about it (til it gets worse - like I pass out or
something - sheesh) - anyway I’ve given up all caffeine (except a VERY
occasional slide usually chocolate <grin
still get them.
They’ve done blood work, etc and calcium, etc are all within “normal”
limits. Thyroid is normal. (I thought I’d be low since my temps are very
low and I’m cold most of the time). (although skipped hbs are usually a
hyper- not hypo- symptoms generally.)
Any suggestions?

    First thanks for the replies :) As for the passing out - I meant they (the doctors) said to come in again if it
    got really worse or I started passing out.
    Don’t want to wait til I pass out. sheesh. I’m just concerned since heart
    disease runs rampant in my family (dad and brother
    probably both had it by 35). I’m also significantly overweight which doesn’t
    help.
    Anyway they’ve done an echo, holter and an event monitor. Which they say is
    normal. (which is good).. but sometimes when it
    skips it feels like it isn’t going to start again… or it’ll keep skipping
    around til I stop what I’m doing or change
    positions (of course these are occasional and never occured while on the holter
    or event monitor. sigh) - anyway these are the
    type that are scary not necessarily the occasional one or two skips.
    The events are random and sometimes I’ll go a week (if I’m lucky two) with only

    minor stuff then it will suddenly freak out on
    me. :( Cutting caffeine helped tremendously but it still goes on. sigh.
    Personally, I think this started after having years
    of gallbladder attacks and finally getting it surgically removed. I think it
    took its toll. (The gallbladder attacks
    manifested in the middle of chest (more to the back).)
    Of course now after having my gallbladder out my albumin/globulin ratio is
    whacked out (indicating malnutrition or chronic
    disease) but at the last point before going abnormal (so they won’t look at it
    further) my RDW is out of normal range (but
    they ignore that)… argh I hate doctors sometimes.
    sigh.
    phooey.
    Crystal.
