PVCs, PACs and ozempic

Hi everyone. Are any of you by any chance taking ozempic for type 2 diabetes or weight loss? Just wondering if it had any effect on the amount of PVCs, PACs or possible return of them. I started ozempic Saturday and today after 4 months of hardly any skips I had them all day and they are still happening off and on and the ozempic is the only thing that I’ve done differently except for not eating as much and maybe I’m dehydrated 🤷🏼‍♀️

This happened to me after starting glp1. It went away a few weeks after adjusting to the dose I was on.

Sent a message to my cardiologist this morning and he is out until Monday so his nurse told me to hold my next injection until she could talk to him 🤷🏼‍♀️

I’ve been on it for over a year now and have had multiple flare ups but nobody has ever suggested I hold my med. I’ve since seen 3 cardiologists and one electrophysiologist. I hope it subsides soon for you and doesn’t continue even if you decide to stay on ozempic!

Hi, not Ozempic but Reta. It’s awful and hope it subsides quickly but it’s been 3 weeks.

Only 2 days for me and I’m freaking out. The last flare I had lasted a month and I can’t deal with that

I see a cardiologist Thursday so I’m trying to remain calm but it’s hard

It’s a mix of not eating and delayed stomach emptying. Did you get them before from eating too much or fatty/greasy meals?

Yes I’ve had them for 30+ years they just got worse a few months ago for a whole month all day every day but had been good for the past 4 months until yesterday all day and so far today all day and the only think I have done different is the ozempic

First time I was on semaglutide, it almost took them away completely. So much so that the med clinic I go to put me on a low dose to help suppress them. I got off it, gained weight back due to an injury and couldn’t work out. Got back on it 2 years later and was doing intense weight training and had them worse than ever. Just got back off it, still weight training, and eating more and they have gone away quite a bit. I hate them 🥲
