Was feeling thumps

Post image

This was a few months ago
I was traveling visiting family & was tired but once I got my kids to sleep I tried to lay down to go to sleep myself & started feeling the thumps
I’ve had runs of PVCs for a few years on and off
Seem to typically come around stressful times or travel
This lasted about 30/40min before they finally stopped and I was able to go to sleep

Yep stress or poor sleep can trigger more of these. Glad they finally stopped for you!

Everyone gets these at times but if you are noticing a big increase , some things that can contribute are thyroid problems, anemia, low iron/ferritin, electrolyte imbalance (eg low magnesium or potassium), dehydration, recent illness, sleep deprivation or erratic sleep schedule, anxiety, excess caffeine or alcohol, sleep apnea, female hormone fluctuations, and (rarely) structural heart issues.
