Has anyone been dealing with PVCs (Premature Ventricular Contractions)? I've had them for years but only ever notice them on rare ocassions. Lately however, they've gotten really bad. I've been AF for over a month, I exercise a lot, try to eat well and hydrate. I started taking Paxil for 2 weeks and stopped after I was experiencing too many side effects, PVC increase as one of them.
I've been to urgent care and have an Echocardiogram scheduled in a week. They found a "Slight abnormality" on my EKG hence the echo so I'm a little paranoid about that but trying to keep calm and relaxed. My PVCs seem to kick in during the mid-day or after I eat. Most the time they are subtle but there were two days straight I was getting moderate to severe ones all day long. VERY SCARY!!
Not coincedentally, I ate Mexican and KFC on those two days...I believe MSG could be a big factor. But I was wondering how many others here have had them, how often, how you deal with them, what sets them off for you, what meds or supliments you have found helpful, etc...
Thanks in advance!
