getting sent home with a holter monitor - any tips?

I already posted in here today, but my palpitations have been getting worse and I think they’re PVCs.

I went to the hospital today due to my nerves and I am still here now. They’re sending me home with a holter monitor because they want to make sure my PVCs are actually PVCs and nothing else AND learn their frequency.

I have severe health anxiety and just knowing that thing is going to be on me is freaking me out.

Anyway, do you guys have tips or things you wish you knew before getting the monitor on?

Thanks! 😔

Severe health anxiety - now having more frequent PVCs?

Hi all! I had a major anxiety/panic episode back in April. I doubled my Lexapro from 10 to 20mg and I’ve finally started to feel like myself again after an almost 2-month long spree of daily panic attacks. I was in the hospital, in an intensive outpatient care therapy program, all of the above - because I was suddenly so worried about my health.

I finally feel like I’m getting my sparkle back, but for some reason, the PVCs/palpitations that I used to feel once every week or month are happening much more frequently. They are most common after I drink, but now Im on day 5 where I’ve experienced at least some every day.

The worst of it has been experiencing them all day, at least one every 20 minutes.

I got an ECG done, got bloodwork done, they only thing they said they noticed on the ECG was a *maybe* a partial right bundle branch block that they don’t even think is real. Which can’t cause PVCs anyways.

Either way, has anyone experienced this before? I’m trying so so so hard to stay calm and not fall back into my daily panic attacks based on my health, but this is just so scary to me.

*Update* I was led to it by a fellow rebel! Thank you! It was fan-made.

I SWEAR to god - I have a distinct memory of seeing a clip of the 50th Hunger Games of someone (Silka) throwing an axe at a character (Haymitch) and it going off a cliff and then bouncing back. (This was definitely the finale act of the 50th Hunger Games)

For some reason, I picture this being played on a TV at some point in the Trilogy movie series.

Am I making that up?

Was it fan-made?

I can't find the clip online ANYWHERE and no one else remembers it!

If it was fan-made, why can't I find it??

I swear I am losing it!!! Does anyone have this memory or know what I am talking about?
