This book is also a section found in the title: "Common Murmurs, Arrhythmias and Myopathies of the Heart", with this title being made available separately, for readers interested specifically in the PVC/PAC (heart skips) subject. Skipped heartbeats occur in most, if not 100% of the general population, at some point during their lives. Some medical sources state that about half of us experience them on a relatively frequent basis. For some people however, these heart palpitations called "Premature Ventricular Contractions" and "Premature Atrial Contractions" (PVCs and PACs), occur at a frequency or forcefulness, that can be concerning to them and that can result in chronic anxiety and/or panic attacks. In most cases these palpitations are benign but the unpleasant feeling they may cause can at times override any reassurance one might receive by a doctor, that their heart is otherwise healthy and normal. It is my intention, through the chapters of this book, to inform readers who experience these common but most-often benign palpitations, with facts, that can help them to better-cope with the concerning symptoms they may experience with these strange heartbeats. TABLE OF CONTENTS: CHAPTER ONE Understanding Premature Ventricular and Atrial Contractions Just Exactly What are these Heart Skip Palpitations? CHAPTER TWO Heart-Skip Palpitations (PVCs) and Cardiomyopathy (Heart Enlargement Risk with Premature Ventricular Contractions?) CHAPTER THREE Do PVCs and PACs Increase the Risk for Premature Death? (Fears caused by Frequent Skips and Thumps) CHAPTER FOUR Common Treatments for Heart Palpitations (Lifestyle, Pharmaceutical and Natural Solutions for PVCs and PACS) (This book is not intended to be an extensive medical journal but rather contains the information that most laypersons would be seeking on the subject.)

I am a husband, father, grandfather and lifetime contract salesman, with experience in health writing that began in 2004. I completed theological studies with Liberty University in 1996. I formerly served as editor and forum moderator of Thyroid Health for a major multi-topic content site and as a general health writer for another, where I received Editor's Choice Awards for articles on health subjects. In 2003 I was diagnosed with hypothyroidism; "Hashimoto's thyroiditis" being the cause. This autoimmune form of thyroid disease that causes destruction of the thyroid gland resulted in my also developing "Chronic Fatigue Syndrome", due to a compromised immune system with severe co-morbid "Adrenal Fatigue". I also suffered severe anxiety symptoms, including panic attacks early into the onset of Hashimoto's thyroiditis (Hashitoxicosis). A common heart murmur I was diagnosed with in my teens called "Mitral Valve Prolapse", also worsened in severity of symptoms, with the development of these other health disorders. My eventual receiving of diagnoses was a difficult process with proper diagnostic testing not being ordered by the first doctors I sought treatment from. These types of issues were inspiration for me to become proactive in my own health care and to self-educate myself on these health disorders, which I have done extensively since 2003. I now enjoy sharing this information with other patients experiencing my same health disorders.
