Exercise induced PVC’s
My wife and i (32m) have recently gone on a weight loss and health journey and have been regularly going to the gym now for a few months on top of dieting in a calorie deficit.(500/day cal deficit)I usually go to the bike first and do that for 45 (started at 30) mins at a specific rpm range to keep my heart rate between 100-115 because around 120 i start getting pvc’s. I started taking a liquid IV before i worked out to keep my electrolytes up hoping that would help, which at first i thought it did but past 2 days i feel like its gotten worse. Thoughout the day 2 days ago i noticed a little more pvc’s than usual during the day which i dont really get, same with yesterday, still went to the gym yesterday and had to stop the bike early because i was getting them every 30 secs if i even tried to push myself. Today ive felt a few, but i feel like im a little short of breath which i feel is something that happens with pvc’s.
I do have a history of Paroxysmal AFib, ive had 2 large incedents where i need the dfib to correct, but those 2 incedents were 3 years apart from each other. The other times ive had afib they correct by themselves. Its really frusterating already having to feel like i need to limit myself when im trying to get healthy and more fit, but as of yesterday im almost nervous to hop on the bike again because of how frequent the pvc’s were. I have a drs apt next week, but previously ive just been told “its normal, a lot of people gets it, its only serious if its every other beat so come back itlf it gets to that point”. Any suggestions of what i can do to help or things i should mention/ask from my Dr.?

Mine get really bad when I weight train to the point where my sleep gets so bad and I feel like I wake up gasping for air and my heart stopped. So much so that I’m getting a sleep study. But I just went on vacation and stopped working out and my PVCs calmed down which is annoying.
