Some people have been able to cure there's with various supplements but more have not been so successful. The doctors & consultants are all saying that this feeling of your heart 'skipping' a beat is normal & that everybody has them from time to time, it's just that they don't feel it. How on earth can it be normal to feel on a very regular basis that your jumping heart is normal. If it was normal, then every single person in the world would know what they are. How do the doctors know that everybody gets them? If not everybody 'feels' them then how do they know if they get them? Why is it that some people can 'cure' their funny beats with various supplements or diets & others can't? If ectopic beats are all the same then why is it that a vast majority of us are still subjected to these beats every single hour of every single day? If you go on other sites in regards to ectopic beats, they all say the same thing - 'it gets worse with age & there is no cure'. Many people have suffered with the funny beats for years, all have tried different ways of getting rid of them & all have failed miserably. It all doesn't make no sense to me at all. We are all human first & foremost so our bodies all work the same, we all need air to breathe & blood in our veins, we all need to eat & drink to fuel our bodies so won't it be one size fits all? I have noticed that symptoms that accompany ectopic beats vary - some have dizzy spells, shortness of breath, racing hearts (as well as skipped beats), headaches, tiredness & the list goes on. If you put these symptom in a search engine, what other illnesses does it come up with? Also almost every doctor has used the words - panic, anxiety &/or depression can cause ectopic beats & has handed out drugs to aid with this but even with the drugs like anti depressants, beta blockers etc the ectopic beats are still happening. So is the ectopic beats causing the anxiety & stress? In turn then leads to depression & panic because the person suffering with these beats still have no answer or cure to what is going on with their 'normal & healthy' heart? I have suffered with anxiety for most of my 31yrs of life & it wasn't until after the birth of my daughter 9 years ago, that I have ever experienced an ectopic beat. So what is the answer? A faulty electrical fault in my heart? Cos when you research about ectopic beats/PVCs /PACs online, that's what they say causes them. If this was the case then why is an EP study not done on us all & sorted with an op? But wait - if the doctors are saying that everyone experiences them then have we all got faulty electrical hearts? Or is it a lack in nutrients? If we get all our vitamins via food or multi supplement then why do we still have ectopic beats? Doctors & consultants - we deserve answers & cures please!!!!! No more fobbing us off. No more excuses. We demand research into these horrible, life altering beats now!!!!!
