Have you had a echocardiogram? It can check the EF of your heart. That would be good to know as a good EF should reduce your stress.

I have tons of PVCs. They cause me a lot of stress which causes more PVCs. Was this relayed to you? Stress as well as eating can trigger PVCs. I find if I exercise my PVCs go down.

I have a ICD/Pacemaker since 2006. I have many shocks but now I like having the ICD/Pacemaker in my chest as without it I would not be typing this. I do not have exercise restrictions the opposite to keep the heart as strong as can be. I take Entresto and Carvididol. Two great heart medications that can really helped those with HF.

Too long I went not treating my HP and I think over the decades caused the HF. My BP now is the opposite as is usally around 100-60. So a little dizzy if stand up to soon. But deal with it to reduct pressure on heart if you have high BP.

What is EF? Do you take supplements?what foods trigger your PVCs?
Thanks

Hello JC76.
I had a stress echo about 4 years ago...all was perfectly normal. I have been told many times that stress will increase PVCs and PACs. I have found that exercise does little to reduce my extra beats. I get scared when I have several in a row and it happens for an hour or so. I have been told that this is not Afib, but just a run of PACs or PVCs.
Thank you!
