Hello, I am CarrieJessica, a 36 year old Army Wife and mother of 4 kiddos. We have a 17 year old daughter with NCS, a 9 year old son, a 6 year old son and a 3 year old daughter. About 10 months ago I was diagnosed with premature ventricular contractions (PVCs) and inappropriate sinus tachycardia (IST) and was put on Beta Blockers and saw the Cardiologist every 4 weeks. We then recently we did another heart monitor because I was still having symptoms and listening to my heart the PVCs are every 4th beat while in the office sitting down. We discuss a few new symptoms, hands, fingers and leg twitching at times, cold arms and legs, left leg feels like its asleep and turns red after standing or sitting a long time. A few in office tests of sitting and standing while being monitored and we revisit Postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS) and add that in with PVC and IST as a diagnosis. Originally I had tested POTS free in his opinion because I had not passed out during the tilt table test and did not have the immediate 30 jump. However it seems my inappropriate sinus tachycardia (IST) had interfered with what would normally be clear markers for Postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS). At the same time my daughter was being seen by a pediatric Cardiologist after a few fainting spells and many near fainting spells. Our symptoms were different, she passed out, or almost did where as my main issue was that my heart was racing, we never considered we had variations of the same thing. My daughter did not have to do the TTT as a stress test and poor mans TTT was enough to clearly see her issues. She is a big girl now so I will let her decide if she would like to join and share her story. In the future I may consider a service (response) dog if my symptoms become worse. It makes it very hard for me to be independent and just go do things I’d like to do because I am always worried my heart rate will shoot up right when I have to talk to someone (order food, answer a question, search for my wallet to pay) because sometimes I can ‘push through it’ and no one notices other times I look like I am having panic attack or about to pass out when it happens. It’s embarrassing, but I do make plans and get out fairly often and like to go with or meet up with people who at least have a basic understanding just for my own comfort. So we will all move forward, be proactive with our health and take it as it comes. I am trying to see it as a starting place to make improvements and create a new version of normal.
