Good for you. Still trying to find a way to get my lower. I have a ICD/Pacemaker so they can see each time run (every 3 months) how many I have. I am being paced at 92% and EP says the other 8% are inteferred with by PVCs.
I ignore all my PVCs except for the multiple ones that come after each other. That feels like a flutter versus a slight PVC. That scares me as get similiar feeling prior to episodes on ICD.
EP says though on lowest dose of Mexiline and no need to raise unless the 92% pacing gets worse.

I do get the flutters too but when I di I just cough hard or bear down like you're having a baby and it kinda resets things in there somehow. It works. I had a heart cath and was awake the whole time and told him when he reached my heart because I said oh I feel that, it feels like a flutter. There was no blockage. He said I had a strong healthy heartbeat.
