Long Term PAC and PVC Suffer. Need your support and guidance

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!
RR

We all need to find something that helps reduce stress. For me that is exercise. For others like you it probably is something else that you enjoy. Brining down the stress level is going to help. My EP, HF, and PCP all tell me to exercise not only because it reduces my stress but helps with heart failure and keeping me fit.
Just try to find something you like to do and enjoy it.

My cardiologist recently told me that stress really isn’t related to pvc’s. Omg … who do you believe! When my stress level was high that was when they started. Now that the stress is decreased, so did the pvc’s!
