Managing and Living With PACs and PVCs

Thank you for your advice. Yes, I'm really needing a better doctor, but there seems to be such a shortage. Maybe it's just this area.
I am not sure what my burden is. It is why I want one for more than one day. I get no attempt to allay my fears, other than "you're fine". Nor do I get advice on managing them. I know I have PVCs and PACs. I also have had a heart attack and have three stents in my heart. I would think that would bear watching. I have found that eating every 2 hrs, mostly protein, helps with them. But never had that problem before. I really don't expect to live a whole lot longer, but the time I have left I would like to be worth living.

@janepaskvan around here they put me on a month long monitor (which I did for two weeks). Google "Zio" ECG monitor. It is a patch worn on the chest. Maybe ask if a longer monitor is available for you.
