Hi,Im a 27 year old male,5 year smoker and trying to quit,barely touch alcohol.Back in November,I was snacking on chips and diet pepsi before i went to sleep,when I went to sleep I noticed my heart beating fast,so I went on the internet and checked out my problem,dont know why,but knowing my dad has a history of heart trouble,,I panicked and thought I was having a heart attack..so I went to the emergency room,they checked me out and said I just had palpitations,nothing serious so they sent me off and told me to lay off caffeine,which is in diet pepsi..so two days later I still wasn't convinced and I went to the ER again,,,lab tests,EKG,and nothing,then they asked if I was depressed.I mentioned that I was a bit stressed out.So the ER physician gave me Zoloft.Knowing that I took valium for a short time and helped me when my mom died to calm me down,I went ahead and took them..They made me feel horrible,,anxiety,nervousness,and it was terrible so I quit taking them.I know most doctors wont belive how bad it made me feel,It did,so anyways I got myself a doctor,who couldnt belive I was on it so he told to throw them out and gave me something for a sinus infection..Ok now here's the dilema..When he was taking my family history,because my dad had heart problems later in life,he put me on a 24 hour holter monitor,,I was on it with no problems.no unusual feelings,There were a couple of things I didnt write down for personal reasons.but they only wanted me to write down thing in this journal every two hours.So I get the test results back and he said the results were relatitvley good and I had a few "funky" as he described it beats,but I had more good ones then I did bad,and it's nothing serious and not to worry about.And he didnt give me any restrictions of any kind.So he gave me a perscription for 50mg of Atenolol for chest pain and to straighten my beats out and set me up for an echocradiogram I looked at the diagnosis on the sheet and it said PVC..But I tried to explain I wasnt having any chest pains or felt unusual.So I started to panic.,3 of them that week..none anymore after that after I calmed myself and reassured myself that things will be ok.I took the echo a month ago and I have a appointment on Feb 3rd..it's been a month ago and I hope its nothing serious,,I would think he would have contacted me right away if there was something serious.Anyways I never started taking the atenolol cause I got worried of all the side effects and stuff.I really don't wanna start a med if I really dont need it..I want to see how my echo went first.I'm just really scared and I hope it's nothing serious.Any and all advice would be appreciated..thanks
