hi

i had open heart surgery almost 8 weeks ago now, i had the bentall procedure where they replace both the enlarged aortic root and the leaking valve. i wanted to know if anyone else had a lot of ectopic heart beats during the recovery time? im used to getting them before i had the operation and took magnesium which reduced them a great deal. im still taking the magnesium but the beats are worse than ever.
