I'm having difficulty with arrythmias. v-tach, supraventricular tacyhcardia and runs of pacs. This is with a pacemaker medtronic dual lead atrial paced v-sensed. My rythym will also jump into junctional periodicly told this is normal for the pacer. Have been to best Dr. Not concerned thinks I'm to sensitive but this is all confirmed on holter and event recorders. Need Dr. who will look at this seriously in Michigan. I feel awful after 7 months of no symptoms any clues.

It is time to change Dr.s. You may need to go to one in a different hospital, sometimes Dr.s do not want to take patients of other Dr.s in their hospital, but you need to be taken seriously.

My boyfriend gets very similar symptoms to what you are describing but again, no doctor takes him seriously. He always gets told to cut down on drinking and partying- he doesn't drink any alcohol and hasn't been out partying in years so, as you can imagine, he doesn't have much faith in the docs.
I don't have any advice for you other than to keep trying and get a second opinion. That's what we're doing. It does sound like an issue with the pacemaker not an issue with you and your dotor should be looking into that in more detail. Lots of luck xx

you need a better dr. try one out of your area, maybe go to a family out of town and seek out a dr, or try a new one that has come into your area but don`t know you. tell them what is going on and your concerns.arrythmias are serious and can kill! don`t fool around with it!
