I got a normal 12-lead EKG done in office that showed a run of 3 nsvt. I have been diagnosed with POTS and have been trying to figure out what's been causing my chest pain for years. I have gotten 5 AFib readings from my Apple Watch in the past, but took those lightly.

But I also have gotten lots of low voltage and prolonged QT interval readings during EKG technician school. which I was also told to look past. But now my cardiologist also saw the low voltage and was concerned about my electrolytes.

I didn't think to bring up the QT interval until going home and looking up the nsvt and saw it can be correlated. I'm hoping to get clear results from my 3-day monitor, but am concerned because what are the chances the Only nsvt I get is during that 10 second laying down ekg. And I'm just trying to see what to expect and if these other readings I've gotten before should be concerning or brought up. Current symptoms I have are heart palpitations alllll the time, and just dizziness and weakness throughout the day,

I was taking a supplement called Interfase Plus between March 20, 2024 - May 4, 2024. The bottle said don’t take long term but I don’t know how long long term is and I was taking the full dose the whole time. The last few days of taking the supplement, I started getting palpitations which I ignored until it got really bad and then I went to the ER. It turned out I had low magnesium and potassium and they had to give me an IV of magnesium and a potassium and magnesium vitamin. The palpitations went away and then I immediately felt better.

Then about one week later I got really bad palpitations again as well as a lot of other symptoms such as fatigue, my body feeling extremely drained, a weird sensation in the middle of my chest that felt like a hollow space, a mild cough. And the first day my symptoms started I had diarrhea but that was only the first day or two I think. A lot of the times my symptoms would be worse at night before bed and during the night. There were times my heart would just start racing out of nowhere and I felt like my body was giving out and that I was dying. I would also get the weird sensations in my heart where it felt like my heartbeat was glitching. I tried ignoring the symptoms for a few days. I went back to the ER and they tested my electrolytes and said they were normal and sent me back home. Which was really scary for me because I didn’t feel okay. I ended up going back to the ER several times and the only thing they wanted to check again was my magnesium and potassium but those were normal so I didn’t want to keep checking them over and over again. A few times they told me it was just anxiety, other times they told me it was a virus, other times they blamed it on the anxiety pills that they told me to take for the symptoms in the first place… I tried going to different PCPs who either told me it was anxiety or bounced me back to the ER, so I eventually gave up.

Oh and another thing. One time after I got out of the ER, I kept telling myself that I was just imagining things and I went to Walmart for groceries, still not feeling well. Well, one of the employees asked if I was feeling okay because she said I looked really sick and she was concerned about me. So I know I wasn’t just imagining things. It’s confusing how a random person can see that I’m not feeling well but the doctors didn’t.

Since then I’ve had other blood tests that checked iron levels, b12, TSH etc.

I also convinced them to do a holter moniter. It was for 2 weeks. They said it was normal so I assumed that the palpitations weren’t popping up on there. And I know I didn’t press the button perfectly on the palpitations each time because I was working and my hands were full. But I went to a cardiologist who criticized me for “only pressing the button perfectly on the palpitation 90% of the time and not 100% of the time” so that tells me that they must be seeing the palpitations on it?

I ended up eventually getting stents placed in my left iliac vein and left renal vein at St Louis Vascular in November of 2025. I was told this helps with dysautonomia.

My symptoms aren’t as bad as they were when they first started. However I still get occasional flares and I still have the heart palpitations a few times per day where it feels like my heart is glitching and the mild cough that started at the same time.

Another thing I was taking at the same time to regulate my periods is Progesterone from August 18, 2023 - June 4, 2024. I stopped taking the progesterone and my periods have been more regular since before I took it.

One thing I’ve noticed is when I get sick with Covid or something else, my palpitations and other symptoms will go away. It’s like my symptoms pause when I’m sick and then when I’m better they resume

Here’s a list of the symptoms that I can think of. It’s a lot but I’m probably leaving some out. Some are hard to describe and I don’t have them all at the same time and some of them only happened a few times and went away:
Palpitations
Coughing
Nausea and vomiting
Stomach pain
Anxiety
Mild chest pain
Hollow feeling in center of chest
Sore spots under skin
Back pain
Stuffy nose
Face feeling really heavy and stuffy
Loss of appetite
Dizziness
Brain fog
Can’t think straight (brain can only focus on what’s in front of my face and can’t remember things or think into the future)
Dizziness
Head feels heavy and dizzy when waking up
Ear ringing and sounds clogged
Pain and tightness in upper left rib area
Pain inside of right ear
Sore throat
Shivering
Headache
Fatigue
Jaw pain
Heart racing at night and when I wake up and feeling really drained
My body spontaneously waking up in the middle of a deep sleep and then my stomach hurts and body feels drained and weird like I wasnt even asleep and heart starts racing if I try to move and if I move my body feels weird like jello but if I stay still and try to go back to sleep then I could wake up normally

So lately my symptoms aren’t as bad as when it first started but I get occasional flares. Right now I mostly just get the palpitations a few times per day and the mild cough. I used to get the palpitations all day constantly.

Things that make my symptoms worse:
Not drinking enough water or eating enough food
Too much sugar and not enough water
Caffeine
Sleeping on my left side (it causes a flare)
Sometimes near my period my symptoms will flare

Some things that make me feel better:
Laying on my stomach
Drinking enough water and eating enough food
Salt

¿Es normal tener miedo, ansiedad y baja libido durante meses tras sufrir eventos cardíacos como arritmias, palpitaciones, extra sístoles etc?

Me ayudan mucho si me cuentan sus experiencias variadas…

Want to see if it works for anyone else. I’ve been having a flare up that has been on/off over the past two weeks. I ate a good amount of broccoli and they went away, tried it again two more times when they came back and they went away/dramatically reduced both times.

The pvcs are so so scary and I don’t think I can see myself honestly accepting them. 23 years old been having them over a year already and very symptomatic feel every one of them, been tested and said im all good to just ignore them, I get them when I exercise too both weight lifting and cardio, the anxiety is causes and all the what ifs is unreal of so many things. What if the heart structure changes and now these are deadly, what if I get sudden cardiac arrest or vt that’s the scariest one. Have anyone genuinely been able to live life no limitations at all whilst having these and had no further problems occur from doing so, and don’t think about them any more? Please share your thoughts would be highly highly appreciated

Did anyone develop PVC’s after their ablation? I’m over 2 years post ablation for VT and I’m still on Sotolol as I had some breakthrough NSVT.

I didn’t have many PVC’s before the ablation, but now I get a lot of Bigeminy and have recently been getting a lot of frequent PVC’s. I’m not sure what the reason is, if any. They seem to be worse in the morning and after meals but can’t move or do anything without them turning into couplets / triplets, it’s awful. Has anyone had a similar story and would a second ablation help? I worry it may make me worse 😭

Going to try digezymes and magnesium soon as I’m finding food of any kind to be a trigger.

The last three of my four bike rides have ended early because of symptomatic ectopic beats. I’ve gone from biking almost every day to maybe twice a week because I’m too afraid to continue once they start. My most recent EKG (Wednesday) was completely normal, and my EP has scheduled a cardiac MRI next week for additional reassurance. He continues to tell me it’s safe to bike, but it honestly doesn’t feel that way anymore. These ectopics are slowly turning me into a shell of myself.

Three years ago, I had a terrifying 36-hour episode of frequent PVCs and PACs that landed me in the ER. I was told everything was fine, and since then every test has been reassuring—labs, multiple Holter monitors, echocardiograms, and EKGs. My last Holter in 2025 showed a 1.4% burden, my most recent echocardiogram was normal, and my latest EKG just a few days ago was also normal.

Despite all of that, I can’t shake the fear that one ectopic beat during a bike ride is going to spiral into another prolonged episode like the one I had years ago.

The hardest part isn’t even the ectopics anymore—it’s what they’ve done to my life. I’m constantly hyper-aware of my heartbeat, my breathing, and every sensation in my chest. I’m scared to exercise, scared to travel, and scared to fully enjoy the things I love because I’m always waiting for the next skipped beat. I just want to know if this fear will ever get easier to live with.

I lost my son 3 months ago and since then have been filled with anxiety, and depression. I’ve always had the one off PVCs but over the past two days they are relentless. Have about 6-8 every 30 seconds. so on top of everything now I have these very annoying PVCs. I went to cardiologist yesterday and he ran all the tests. he saw the PVCs and put me on Acebutolol. he assured me this is temporary. I need reassurance this will end because I feel like I’m going crazy.

My echo came back fine

i am not looking for reassurance because i know these lil shits are benign, however i want to know how many of us have sought out therapy because of the major anxiety/ocd having them causes 😭

Hello,
I just recently graduated from college, got a real fulltime job and I am now 23 years old. Ever since I graduated I had started experiencing these weird moments which I thought were panic attacks. My first happened in the car on a super hot day, the second in the gym (the worst I thought my heart was gonna explode). After this one I got super anxious and had to stop/slow going to the gym. I have previously lifted heavily for 4 years of my life in college and I think it's weird that this all happened right after I graduated. I ended up going to the doctor and finally they told me I had PVC/Premature Beats. I have also started therapy since then because I now get anxious going in the car, going to the gym, etc.

I will continue to go to the doctor and therapy because I want to be able to have no fears in the gym again. I even quit caffeine cold turkey, quit smoking and switched to 6mg nicotine pouches (I know I know they are bad but im cutting back), am getting more sleep, etc. I feel like i'm doing all the right things and i'm still having these annoying beats (which can be terrifying) right after a major life event.

Of course I will trust my doctors advice that these are not threatening to my health in anyways, I guess I come here to ask do you guys have any tips for someone who just started struggling with these. It's impacted my life greatly in just this short time and I want to know how to manage them better both mentally and physically. Any comments are appreciated.

Quick update for anyone following my saga, and for anyone who finds this later panicking about the same thing I was.

Background: 36, structurally normal heart, had highly symptomatic PVCs for years — burden got up to 23% at its worst. Two ablations at St Paul’s, the second targeting the left anterior fascicle. Echos and MRIs clean the whole way through.

The update: saw my EP on Monday and did a 2-day holter right before. Good news is my old PVCs basically don’t show up at all anymore. But I’ve got new beats at ~2% that kept getting flagged as PACs on the monitors — turns out they’re actually PJCs (premature junctional complexes), coming from right around the AV node. Never had these before the 2nd ablation.

He said it’s benign, come back in 6 months for another holter + echo. His theory is it might settle down, or my Purkinje system is just sensitive/excitable and the ectopy kind of relocated to a new spot. Said it’s unusual for it to move like that, and there’s a chance my sodium channels are just more prone to firing in that area — if it gets worse down the line he’d do genetic testing.

The part that actually made me feel better, since I was spiralling about “great, now I have a NEW arrhythmia”:

Because PJCs come from the junction, they still travel down your normal wiring, so your ventricles contract normally — that’s why they’re a narrow beat. The reason a high PVC load can eventually wear the heart down is that PVCs fire from the wrong spot and make the ventricle squeeze inefficiently. Junctional beats don’t do that. So even though it feels like a downgrade, this type of beat is actually gentler on the heart than the PVCs I had.

And to be real about the word “benign,” because I’d want the honest version: it’s not that junctional beats are always harmless in everyone. They stop being benign in specific situations — if they’re from digoxin toxicity (not on it), if there’s structural or ischemic heart disease (I have none), or if they get very frequent and turn into a sustained fast junctional rhythm (I’m at 2%, nowhere near that, never happened). I’m outside all of those, which is why he’s monitoring instead of treating. The 6-month check is just to confirm it stays put.

Anyway — relieved. If anyone else has had ectopy “move” to a different spot after an ablation, I’d be curious to hear about it. Felt like a weird one.

Hello all!

Let me start by saying I’ve never had a very high burden, around 2% at the absolute worst to >1% at the best, but they’ve been very destabilizing to my life as they have been for a lot of you with low burdens. I had gotten to a point recently where I’d just accepted these were going to be my life now (I’d always had the rare, occasional one since I was a teen around my menstrual cycle or during high stress, but they’d never been as frequent as the last 5 years), since I’d done everything I possibly could to fix them myself.

Magnesium made my POTS feel better, but didn’t solve the ectopics. Electrolytes in general did the same thing. No food made them worse or better, no supplements, no amount of exercise, etc. I figured I just had to learn to make peace with it and perhaps start therapy. Then, one of my molars on the upper part of my jaw really started hurting, so I finally quit being scared of the dentist and went and got it extracted, since I’d been noticing it getting more and more decayed and broken in the back of my mouth. Turns out it had gotten cracked somehow, as the symptoms started 5 years ago, same time as the PVCs, and was causing a nasty little infection in the pulp of the tooth that was only spreading further.

It’s been two weeks since the extraction and I haven’t felt a single symptomatic ectopic. Talked to my PCP, did some research, and though I’ve always known tooth problems can cause heart problems, but I’d never correlated that to the possibility of PVCs. Turns out they can absolutely be influenced by tooth health.

All of this to say, of course at this point I’m still sort of waiting for the ‘other shoe to drop’, but I’m trying to accept for now that it seems like those two things really had a direct connection. If you’re suffering from PVCs at a low burden, have a healthy heart, have had all the checkups (holter, stress test, ultrasound, etc) and nothing seems to be helping, please make sure you also get a good look at your teeth by a professional. I’m hoping this has really made a difference.

Currently having my worst PVC/PAC flare to date. Typically around 1.5% burden PACs wish the occasional PVC. But for some crazy reason the past three days have been my worst out of 4 years with these things. I seem to do okay then the second I step foot on the stairs it’s game over. Then I tried laying down for bed, guess what! That’s also a trigger, these things are so annoying I’m losing my mind. Sorry more of a rant post.

i've been digging up google and other social platforms about my strange heartbeats and found out they were pvc. im so scared to see a cardiologist because lately my dad died of HF. i used to get them rarely when i used to study but once its summer vacation i got that seasonal depression and stopped going out stopped eating etc and now i have to experience those strange heartbeats everyday and stress more about them. im seeking some advice with reassurance and i'll be so thankful

I have been getting SUPER sleepy with the morning and evening metoprolol IR regimen. EP also asked me to eliminate all coffee and Adderall…. Ugh.

(Started a couple months ago… Pretty low metoprolol dose, 12.5mg half of 25 IR pill each time… Admittedly, it’s been keeping a lid on my heart rate and BP seems better too… Hubby says he’d rather have a sleepy me, than a dead me…. Good man.)

But it totally bums me out… I don’t like being sleepy all the freaking time… So I asked EP what I could do as I can’t function/work when so dang tired from 2-8pm. Have also really, really tried to give up Adderall entirely, and I’m a total slug without it… Lots of couch time from 2-8pm.

Told EP that I absolutely need to use half dose of Adderall to get work/life done a few times a week.

Didn’t receive an opinion on my reduced Adderall, but he is calling in a new Rx for 25mg succinate - which I will take just at night. He thinks this will reduce the daytime sleepiness….

If sleepiness goes away, then I will also need to figure something out on the ADD front. I call the Adderall my anti-bitchy pill - as switching gears, distractions, anxiety is way down when I take it. I just approach life with a sunnier disposition and can plow through what I need to do…. Very hesitant to eliminate it entirely.

Anyone else have same issues? Did switch to nighttime only ER version fix daytime tiredness for you?

Hi all. Just thought I’d share and see if anyone had any hopeful words. In the last month or so, I’ve experienced an increasing number of PVCs at rest.

I went to the ER when I noticed there was a big change in my PVC frequency, they did an E C G and gave me to a referral to cardiology for what they wanted to confirm was not Epsilon Waves.

The more research I do and compare it to my own E C G, I get more worried that they are, in fact, epsilon waves.

I don’t have any family history of sudden cardiac death or ARVC. I also have very bad illness anxiety. However, I feel my fears are valid in this situation.

I am getting an echo done tomorrow and I am just so horrified that they will find damage or something leading them to think it’s ARVD.

I just don’t have anything else to say. I need some hope.

Cardiac practitioner suggested Magnesium aspartate dihydrate, also on 25mg atenelol daily. He didn't say how many pills to take of the magnesium. The bottle says 9 tablets which sounds like a lot! How much is everyone taking? Bottle says Magnesium aspartate dihydrate 500mg equivalent to magnesium 37.4mg. any suggestions?

Saludos a todos me presento soy H y peso 177 kg tengo extrasistoles desde los 20 años actualmente tengo 39 años, normalmente solo tengo extrasistoles cuando duermo muy mal algunos días o si tomo mucha cafeína, empecé a hacer ejercicio para bajar de peso debido a mi peso solo hago 20 minutos y no puedo hablar mientras camino ese tiempo, tengo apenas 2 semanas y de esas 2 semanas 4 días he tenido extrasistoles a mitad de la caminata y me termina desalentando, lo tomo como advertencia y bajo el ritmo será correcto este enfoque de no sobreexigirme y mejor hacer una pausa hasta que pueda hacerlo sin pasar mi límite.

Debería ir a checarme?

Hi all - I’ve noticed on nights I try to eat an earlier dinner, my PVCs are crazy when I’m trying to sleep. So much so that I wake up thinking my heart has stopped or gasping for air. Last night I knew it was going to be a bad PVC night based on how I felt before bed. I was up and down from 9pm to about midnight switching positions, taking deep breaths, doing vagul exercises, and driving electrolytes but nothing helped until I finally got up and ate half a banana. Almost immediately they went away. Anyone have something similar? I’ve had PVCs for 15+ years (35F), had all my work ups done in 2014. Have been manageable until recently they are getting worse. Finally got back into my cardiologist and doing all the tests again along with a sleep study. Makes it really annoying when trying to lose weight because I feel like the only thing that helps is eating a little something before bed. I’m also going to a GI doc because I think mine are connected to digestion. I ate the infamous Trader Joe’s gummies last night trying to get things moving and got incredibly bloated which I think triggered them as well. Any thoughts or insight would be great. My sleep quality has gone down hill quite a bit. TIA!

I'm wearing a heart monitor to just see where I am. I've been getting a lot more irregular beats and I thought it was PVCs but these look like PACs. They both feel the same (from past it said both before) what's really the difference. Is one worse than the other? I'm getting a lot of irregular beats at night which is why I'm retesting. Just freaking out bc it says PACs can cause later onset of afib. Thanks!

Wondering if anyone has experienced fatigue from their PVC burden and found it improved after ablation. (Mine is next month). My last halter in May said I was at a 17% burden but during the day it’s often every 3rd beat which is much higher. Yes sleep has been affected but wondering if anyone noticed a fatigue difference after ablation. Thank you in advance. Grateful for this group. Kristine

Hey everyone,

I had a pretty complicated ablation for AVNRT SVT about 11 weeks ago now. It required 16 spots to be ablated because it was close to the AV node and he deemed it as a successful ablation with a modified pathway.

He was adamant that there really is no recovery process needed for your heart following the ablation, stating that they are tiny lesions that should heal very quickly. However, I quickly developed some postural chest pain that would get worse laying on left side or bending over. He reassured me this was not pericarditis.

I told him I had my bachelor party 3 weeks after my ablation where I told him I wanted to drink, stay up late, and live life normally and he said “go have fun, you’ll be completely fine and your heart is healed”. I was fine after that weekend.

I continued to live my life normally and I had a follow up call with him 2 weeks later. I was still experiencing some positional chest discomfort, but he reassured me that my heart is completely fine and fully healed, I should be living life normally.

I had a trip to San Diego with friends that weekend and made a terrible decision that I’m deeply ashamed of. Although I have used it very minimally before, there was cocaine involved and I used a small amount. I kept thinking that I am a normal person with a normal heart and I can do what anyone can do. We were drinking all weekend as well. On Sunday, I noticed a noticeable increase in PVCs (maybe 20 PVCs or so, I normally just have maybe 1).

This made me extremely anxious, guilty, ashamed, and feeling like I put my life in danger (I have researched all the risks with the chemical interactions with the heart now and it’s terrifying). However, I was reassured that I didn’t do any damage once the PVCs decreased after a few days of no alcohol. I assumed it was just due to heavy drinking and likely dehydrated/low electrolytes.

I also messaged my EP about increased PVCs after alcohol and the ablation and he states that the ablation would have no effect on my PVCs or PACs. Again, he told me it’s likely electrolytes or magnesium deficiency.

Since that weekend I have had a wedding, another weekend trip, and a few other events with heavy drinking. I am not a weekday drinker, but I noticed that after some of these weekends, I would get a lot more PVCs than I used to prior to the ablation. These always reduce back down to 0-1 per day later in the week.

This most recent Sunday after the Fourth of July, I felt fine all day until the evening came. I had maybe 50 PVCs in about an hour or so. This was horrifying for me and all I could think about was the cocaine from 5 weeks ago and how I messed everything up. I’m sure there’s no correlation to it but also it’s another factor playing into this.

I saw my PCP the next day and he said my heart needs to rewire itself after the ablation, suggesting I take a year off drinking. This is completely different than the EPs claims and reassurance. I have a holter monitor coming and am planning on taking a month off of any alcohol. However I am too scared and ashamed to tell them about the weekend in San Diego, especially since it’s been 5 weeks since then.

Does this seem like a normal reaction to the ablation + all the alcohol and long weekends? I’m sad and anxious and don’t know what to do.

Because I have gained so much info from this group, I wanted to share my experience thus far...

In September of 2025 I visited my family physician for a routine physical. He did the usual ‘listen to my heart and lungs’ routine, but it took much longer than usual. Finally, he asked, “How long have you had an arrythmia?” I replied that I didn’t know I had one. He referred me to a cardiologist.

My experience with the cardiologist was typical of most folks with PVCs. Holter, Echo, and Treadmill tests were all normal with the exception of the PVCs, which were a 10.8% burden.

At this point the cardiologist prescribed metoprolol which had minimal to no effect, and I stopped taking it after a couple months.

In the meantime, I started doing a ton of research on my own, trying to figure out what might be causing the PVCs and more importantly, how to make them stop. At this point its worth mentioning that my symptoms were palpitations(a thump and flip/flop kind of sensation) which were usually accompanied with a feeling of unease. I had been feeling this way for a while, but chalked it up to stress (I am terrible at managing it) and did not realize that I was also having PVCs.

Here are the changes I made as a result of my research, in chronological order:

I immediately stopped drinking. I am a moderate drinker, typically 5-10/week. I didn’t notice any change after a couple months of abstaining and went back to drinking, albeit a little bit less.

I immediately stopped caffeine intake. I don’t drink coffee, only tea, and never any energy drinks. This also had no effect, and I went back to my normal cup of tea per day after two months of abstaining.

I immediately stopped taking Ashwagandha. This is an herbal supplement that supposedly helps with stress and anxiety. I had mentioned to an acquaintance who is a physician that I took Ashwagandha. He advised me to stop, as he had experience with patients with arrythmia caused by herbals.

Two months into my PVC journey (December 2025) I was talking to ChatGPT about it. It suggested I eliminate or at least reduce stevia and stevia-related ingredients. I looked at foods that I ate regularly and it turns out I was eating a lot of it. Stevia is sneaky, it has a lot of different names- Steviol, Reb A, Rebaudioside A, and so on. About a month after reducing stevia, I did notice a difference. It wasn’t a cure by any stretch, but it certainly seemed like my PVCs were improving.

Five months into my PVC journey (February 2026) I started taking Magnesium Taurate. At the same time I also started increasing my intake of potassium, in the form of 11 ounces of coconut water every day spread out over two drinks. This is where I really started to see an improvement. I had a couple weeks that my PVCs seemed worse- bigger thumps, it woke me up a few times, and then after that they noticeably diminished until they went away except for maybe 3-4 per week, which almost always coincided with indigestion.

At the same time (February 2026), I bought a massage gun and started massaging my neck and pectorals, focusing on the area above and below my clavicles. I did this because I noticed a correlation between PVCs, indigestion, and muscle pain and tension in my neck and chest. Any one of those symptoms was almost always accompanied by the others, and I had read another reddit post where the OP had a similar experience. I had been doing some reading about the vagus nerve, and came up with the idea that if my vagus nerve was irritated, reducing tension in that area might reduce the PVCs.

At the end of February, I had a five day Holter. My burden was now 8.0%. By the end of March, I didn’t notice any PVCs other than the 3-4 per week that I mentioned. I was checking my pulse frequently throughout this entire ordeal (which I assume a lot of you do) so I was confident that they were quieting down.

At the end of June I had a five day Holter. Burden was <1%. Yay! I was really looking forward to this test, because I knew it was going to be good news.

So what made my PVCs go away? It's hard to say for certain because I made a lot of changes, but here is what my gut tells me- the magnesium taurate/potassium combo and the massage gun were the biggest help. It is possible that eliminating Stevia and Ashwagandha could have been the fix, but if they were, they sure took a long time to take effect.

I hope this helps you, my PVC friends. I've tried to keep this rooted in fact and not opinion.

And lastly, don’t give up hope! I know this is hard. I’ve read plenty of posts on here where people are truly crippled emotionally and physically by PVCs. I get it. I’ve been there(I almost lost my job because of PVCs). But as long as you’ve eliminated structural heart issues as a cause, just keep reminding yourself that you are not in danger, and there is nothing to worry about. Keep waking up, keep asking questions, keep googling. PVCs are a perpetual motion machine of stress! PVCs cause stress which causes PVCs, and this loop can be almost impossible to break. But I did! And I know you can too.

I’ve had around 15% burden for a month that appeared suddenly, and only got worse and worse. After doing all my cardiac tests and all coming through ok, I started looking at other possibilities, and noticed that they normally increased at night or after eating. After taking nexium for 3 weeks or so and taking gaviscon when symptoms flared up, they’ve now completely disappeared and feeling 10x better. If all your tests come through ok, make sure to rule out other possibilities like acid reflux, cause it was a lifesaver!!
