PVC'S GONE! First Day Of Outer Banks Vacation!

Posted by shorisha @shorisha, May 18 2:59am

I have to share this. I have been having significant PVC's for about a year. I was having up to 17 PVC's in 30 seconds ECG's. Yesterday, my first day of vacation in Kill Devils Hill NC, I checked my heart twice, PERFECT RYTHM, NO PVC'S.

I don't understand this.

I have read this is not uncommon @jc76. When I have time I will find an aritcle.

I do tai chi, Reiki, walk and generally relax. Of course those things help,

An example of afib happening after stress: if someone is very afraid of flying, the heart copes with the stress, but once landed, and relaxed again, afib can happen.

I noticed an article on this phenomenon because I have experienced it.

More generally, of course stress reduction is wise and should be pursued to keep the heart calmer.

I am a believer that resting calmer heart is wise.
But this just happened with my brother age 80 and me age 76. We are both on Eliquis and both have intermittent Afib. I have had an ablation and take no heart or BP drugs. My brother takes a number of drugs. My brother also works out almost everyday even if he has a cold or recovering from a bad virus which I believe is very unwise. But that said
last week we both went out of Afib within 2 days of each other. I took the rest is better approach and my brother hammered it with 4 mile walks and some weight lifting.
I self converted to sinus after 18 hours of Afib. And my brother self converted to sinus 30 hours of Afib. So what is the correct approach? I do not think the 12 hour difference is proof that my approach is best. In fact a few times when I have been in Afib for a few days and might take a quick fast walk and find that I return to sinus within a couple of hours.

I don't think we are talking about the same thing at all. I am sorry I cannot make my point clear.

OK I understand you believe we are not at all talking about the same thing. Maybe your point is clear and I don't understand it. I'm sorry I do not understand you point :).
