Event timeline added by: nancywys

heart was pounding..thought it was the stress of upcoming party and son's surgery

palpitations so bad that II thought my heart would either jump out of my chest or stop...cardiologist did holter monitor, stress test and echocardiogram. Results indicated that my heart was OK but I did have a mitral valve prolapse. I was given Toprol-XL to help control pvc feelings

Toprol did nothing...started to do research on pvc‘s. Read several studies on magneium therapy. Decided on Jigsaw sustained released magnesium...starting taking 500 mg per day...within 3 days, I no longer felt the pvc‘s. Success!!!

PVC‘s are back...so pissed...thought I had them beat.

Told cardiologist about magnesium therapy..told me that it works for some but not all. Also explained some family history...mother and 6 siblings died of heart issues...aunt and 2 cousins died of aortic anuerisms. Nasty history. Doctor ordered carotid and abdominal sonograms and increased cholesterol meds.
