If you do could you help me interpret mine? I have a doctor and I already called this in. They did not say it was dangerous at the call center, but they are not doctors either. I just want to be prepared and know what to expect when I see my EP after my month long monitor. Not looking to take it as "medical advice" just casual opinions. I'm mainly trying to figure out if I need to resort to a symptomatic medication or not.

If I do decide to take something it will be Flecainide because that's what my EP said since I can't take beta blockers or calcium channel blockers with my low BP.

Thanks in advance for any opinions.

this site looks kindof interesting....

It lists examples of test results that you can search and maybe pair up with yours to see if yours matches any. ?

Yes, I've definitely been trying to do that. I am thinking it only shows multifocal PVC's.......hopefully. I would hope that if it was something serious the call center would have said something or contacted my doctor (the electrophysiologist). I had this problem last Saturday-Tuesday.

I got it stopped with a magnesium IV on Tuesday evening. Now it returned yesterday and will probably continue until I get another IV. I tried oral magnesium and Remag. It's not helping orally anymore.

I'm just glad I caught some abnormality this time because he was talking about implanting a monitor which I am kind of scared to do. I don't think I'll have to do that now. I caught something...............
