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

Hello JC76. Yes my EP did discuss the mental health part of it. I met with a therapist and now I take a low dose of Remeron and Hydroxyzine at night. Along with CBT, my mood has improved and my anxiety has reduced. However these all day PVCs simply shatter my existence and I become terrified and sad all day long.

Can you talk to your EP and see if they can refer you to psychiatric medication specialist. I go to Mayo Psychiatric department and see a PA who speicalizes in psychology medications. She works with my EP and heart failure doctor before prescribing any medications.

She prescribed Escitalopram 10 mg many years ago to help with my anxiety. This medication was cleared by my heart failure and my EP okay for me. It has really helped reduced my anxiety over the PVCs and PACs.

I am not familiar with the medications you were prescribed but I take my Escitalopram in morning as it meant to be an all day medication. You can always asked your EP about it. What is good for one patient may not be appropriate for another.
Good luck. Also when you get anxiety at night time have you explore doing the deep breathing technique to help reduce anxiety?
