Hey Matt and fellow PVC/PAC community!

- My experience: I am male from New Zealand, 34yo, slim, exercise regularly, don't smoke and sober for 4 years. First ever PVCs were minimal around the age of 26ish - one or two randomly after drinking alcohol or being super nervous. But then I started having PVCs worse back in 2019 after a death in the family and taking on a stressful job. I was having around 100 per day (very minor compared to what I have read here in the comments). Light to hard thumps in my chest or as I used to describe them a big gasp and "pulse" feeling in the middle of my chest.

- Had all the tests, wore the monitor for a week, treadmill and scans - no abnormalities found. So, benign in a physical sense but MAN I feel you all with the heavy anxiety it brings on. It was actually crippling for me at one point, I was actually shaking, angry and crying from fear in a circle that kept repeating. Horrible.

- This is when I got fed up and decided to work on my mind to take back control over my anxiety and I'm happy to say I have been managing them fine ever since. They haven't returned to how there were of having 100s per day. I go through long periods of time without a single one at all. Then if they return I then return to the mindset that got me out. I might have a few a day or a few a week in recent stressful times but they don't scare me anymore. I think that was the thing that made them worse. Being terrified of them created even more and so on.

Anyway, let me give you some things I do:

1. Supplements I take:
Ashwagandha
Taurine
Lecithin
B12 and D
Apple Cider Vinegar with water - morning and night or after fatty meal.
Vitamin C (in powder form mixed in water) not useless tablets.
Curcumin capsules
Garlic Oil capsules (tried for a few months as the research is great)
I also have metoprolol for back-up but I keep it in the cupboard and hardly use it now.
I have also stopped eating red meat which I feel has helped enormously. Will probably go full vege soon I feel.

2. Exercise, cardio and weights (should go without saying). Exercising reduced the adrenaline surges I get from anxiety.

3. This one I feel was very important - I do a Tummo breathwork most days. I can't post the link yet but will soon when I am allowed to. It is Tummo Breathwork by Breath and Flow on YouTube - look it up and do it!

4. And lastly, I also meditate to Dr Joe Dispenza's mediations which are great for giving yourself extreme inspiration and drive to change your thought patterns.

I agree with another guy who said to get tough with yourself and yell at yourself if you need to. Just accept them, accept they are there and make peace with them. If they aren't killing you then it's just something you now live with - which is fine, just accept it deeply. I used to say to myself "well f*** it, If I die, I die". I know this may sound extreme (and of course I didn't want to die) but it was just a way to let myself fully accept the present moment of having them and let my anxiety dissipate. It may take time but this is crucial for getting over them mentally. Go deep into yourself and strengthen your mind - seriously you will not regret it.

All the best everyone!
