Has anyone noticed a trigger for PVC?

Posted , 2 users are following.

Ive developed premature ventricular contractions which are now pretty constant. When they are severe its like hand grenades going off in my chest. I don't have any of the risk factors and don't know what triggers them. Has anyone identified any specific triggers? I hate living like this.

    There are lots of triggers. Some seem to be general to most people, caffeine, alcohol, anxiety, whilst others seem to affect smaller numbers of people.

    First things first, have you had any notable changes in your life recently, such as a house move, a new job, a new diet, a new relationship?

    Secondly it is worth reading through the many comments on many threads as you will get a very good idea as to what are the triggers and some ways of mitigating them
