PVC's Everyday

Hello,

Sorry to hear about your experiences with PVCs. I've been dealing with them for the last 7 years and they are both scary and frustrating. My experience is that they come and go and so far have no rhyme or reason. Mine can last for anywhere from a few minutes to a few months, and any random amount of time in between. I take solace in the fact the my doctor says everything looks good structurally and that they eventually go away for some amount of time (days/weeks/months). For me, they seem to be related to digestive issues/excessive belching and possibly lack of exercise, but of course nothing definitive as of yet.

There are many of us living and dealing with this condition. You may want to focus on any recent changes or other issues that coincide with your PVCs to see if there is a correlation. Hopefully as more and more people share their experiences/findings we can figure out a cure.

I guess you will have read all the comments on other threads and see that there is no apparent rhyme nor reason as to when these things start, stop, nor how long they continue, or with what frequency.

There are 3 stages to dealing with it. The first is to find a cure, the second is to know the triggers to try to stop them happening in the first place and last but not least, is to mitigate them once they start.

The cure? It may be something you grow out of. It may help by getting fitter, losing weight, changing diet or your environment; for example living in a polluted area seems to precipitate the problem but is by no means the only cause.

triggers seem to be many and varied, exercise seems to be one, whereby a certain amount causes no problem but too much starts them off. Alcohol, caffeine, and spicy foods and large meals are known triggers, but not with everyone nor every time. Stress and anxiety are another trigger. No doubt others could write many more.

Mitigation. Breathing steadily and evenly whilst keeping calm. Modest exercise such as just walking. There is a connection with the vagus nerve and indigestion. I find that belching positively helps . A fizzy drink will help the process and I find say 15 belches helps, followed by a similar number 15 minutes later if the first round did not work.

Others will have their own measures, but they won't work every time

Do reassure yourself by speaking to your cardiologist as getting stressed will only make things worse.

At your age i would hope you will grow out of it, but do examine the other factors mentioned, weight, fitness, diet, environment etc.

Hi Lina,

I am also still young 27 years old. I had ectopics since I was 18 years old, and it was my fault, I was drinking alcohol sometimes in big amounts, I drunk coffee, energy drinks, pre-workouts, I was also extremely anxious, like level 8/10 of maximum stress levels.

The first time I felt like this is going better is last year. I basically have not had any caffeine, no coffee, no energy drinks, no carbonated drinks, no alcohol what so ever, tried to stress less, if someone is bothering me, I just leave and ignore people who make me anxious, or even delete them from my life completely.

So that reduced them over time to like 30 a day. But the most important thing was controlling the adrenaline rush. Every time I have adrenaline rush, ectopics will come a few hours later if the rush was really strong and long. So I figured my ectopics were linked with the levels of adrenaline in my blood.

Anyways, try to take magnesium tablets 250-300 mg a day, eat healthy diet, train every day 20-30 minutes and most important ignore your heartbeats. Let the heart do whatever it wants, never measure you pulse again from fear, or ask yourself, just go do something else. It should go away over time, once your brain gets rewired completely, because beats are the only thing that interests you the most probably now.

I used to have like 500 of them in a day and think I would die and all sorts of things for years. I used to avoid situations, because i would remember when it happened and why. So they would came back at the same spots from fear and adrenaline rush.

Nowadays I get like 0 - 10 ectopics a day, and they are low level, a barely notice them. So I am a living example of someone who thought he would never beat this thing, but here I am free from this never ending madness, hope this helps you. Also avoid tobacco and rooms with too much smokers or hookah, that hookah thing can give you worst ectopics ever.
