I am a 34 yr old female and have had abnormal rhythm since I was 18 years old. At that time, I had an echo, event monitor, etc. All showed normal. My second pregnancy caused them to return at night waking me many nights a week. Still my cardiologist said nothing. After the birth of my third child, blood pressure issues caused me to have the pacs/pvcs pretty regularly. She is now 14 months old and I just started having them again with no relief. Dr. put me on 25 mg of toprol and it is doing absolutley NO good. The only thing I feel is a "falling" sensation in my stomach and at times a slight pressure in my head. Can anyone relate? Still the dr. says nothing to worry about. He says I'm just one of the ones that "feels" them when others do not.

You need to wear an event monitor to define what type of arrhythmia you are having. An electrophysiologist can then help you deal with it once it is diagnosed. Many of these abnormal rhythms can be completely cured with simple procedures.
