Ectopic Beats

DFL said:

Hi there,

I am a year out of university and have just moved into a
job. In the weeks I consider myself to be active. I run 3
times a week and swim everyday in between. My weekday
resting pulse is about 50.

Now my problem is that often I go out with all my friends
on a friday night and we let our hair down a bit. We have
some drinks, some cigarrettes (only on weekends) + do not
do any other drugs.

Last year I was experiencing increased amounts of
irregular heartbeats. It was one I got so worked up I went
to the hospital, and was diagnosed with normal ectopic
beats. I had full on ECG's and heart scans and the doctor
said there was no problem. He gave me some beta-blockers
incase they bug me again in future.

My problem is that after this ordeal whenever I wake up
with a hangover/lack of sleep that day I experience an
huge amount of ectopic beats. I keep thinking I am goingto
have a heart attack, or that something is wrong. If I have
an ectopic beat I am immediately aware of it. Now I have
been for an ECG and full scan and my GP says that this is
just a mental thing. Besides this, I seem to work myself
into such a state sometimes that one could even term it a
'panic attack'.

I was wondering if anyone has any hints for me in getting
over this problem, it seriously gets to me and affects me.
It seems now that everyday now I am monitoring my
heartbeat now and then just to make sure its still going.
Ocassionally when I am monitoring thsese beats I feel pain
in my chest, which I believe I create myself (in my mind).

Alcohol is cardiotoxic. We even use it to kill heart muscle
cells in someone with too much heart muscle in a specific
region of the heart. You may be especially sensitive.

Individuals, such as yourself, may be at higher risk for
alcoholic cardiomyopathy.

Saw a cardiologist this morning and I am perfectly well,
absolutely nothing wrong with my heart. Just cut out the
stimulants and I wont have this problem, lets do it!
