← Return to Long Term PAC and PVC Suffer. Need your support and guidance

I recently went through a 10 week period where my PACs and PVCs burden was 21%. I wore a monitor for a month. Then suddenly they stopped 99%. I changed some supplements but I cannot say for sure if that was the reason why these stopped. During that 10 week period I also had 2 brief 8 hour Afib events. (I have had an ablation for Afib). Then 5 days after the PACs and PVCs stopped I had a miserable Afib event that only lasted 2 hours. In total I have had 10 Afib events since May 2023. So we have plenty of documentation for the PACs/PVCs but I need more documentation for Afib. So EP recommended I used the KARDIA portable monitor to see if we can catch the Afib. I find the KARDIA often says unclassified much of the time. It has yet to give me a sinus status. I haven't sent any of these into the doc yet as I just got the monitor. BTW sinus means normal. You do not have to call it a NSR or normal sinus rhythm. If you are in sinus that means you have a normal sinus heart reading. Also note that even when I was having a constant barrage of PACs and PVCs they said I was in sinus and stable. But I sure didn't like the way I felt. It is uncomfortable.

I also have a Kardia but I pay yearly for the Advanced readings" which tells me if I am having PACs, SVEs, PVCs, Sinus Rhythm or Afib. I believe there is a monthly fee as well if you want short term subscription. I had a heart monitor for 7 days and every item that I felt showed up on that monitor AND on Kardia. Best of luck to you and good well wishes your way. I have had this issue since a bad case of COVID several months ago in November, 2023.
