It sounds almost exactly like me - all the way down to the "spot" on the author's heart - only he describes his as the size of a nickel, where mine is the size of a quarter.
The other key difference is that the author only gets PVC's, where I get those, plus VT's, A-Fibs, SVT's, and Brady's --- all day, all night. While it was a relief to know it's not all that unusual, the article ends like this:
Until your heart is in the bucket, that little spot will remain a mystery."
Which isn't really the "this will go away on its own very soon" answer I was hoping for.

You are one tuff woman jenny. And a little crazy. No wonder I like you. I think of a line from the Grinch that goes something like "and on that day, his heart grew 10 times..." Your heart may be a little irratic but no one, I mean NO ONE has a bigger and better one. Your light shines always.
Mmmmwah!
jenny....
all the best with the heart situation. I know it won't slow you down.
It's also an article in a magazine and not a cardiologist. And his spot is smaller than yours. He has different arrhythmias. In other words - misery loves company so you identify but there isn't really much evidence that your issue and his issue are the same thing, right?
I'm still thinking yours will go away at some point although from what I've read of virally induced cardiac problems 'real soon' is not the likely time frame. But it will happen - it will!
I hope it goes away 'really soon'. And if it doesn't I hope you can continue to work through it. It doesn't sound like it has slowed you down so far.
not sure I'm happy to be in your camp, the one with the heart problem club, but before, when I was in your other club, the "have an awesome time at Ironman" club...that was a cool club! We'll have a club meeting again in 18 weeks...the cool club kind, that is!
I didn't realize you were still having symptoms. I am still hoping it will go away really soon. Like, pronto.
Thanks for the update. It's nice to hear that you're not alone.
