We can pass on to you our experience in hope that helps you. I see vickif5 has already answered you with good information.

One thing I have found over my 77 years is not all doctors know the impact of mental health over physical health. Some individuals with PVCs do not have strong feelings from them and others it is a real problem.

If you suffer from GERD and is affecting your mental health the extra stress can affect your PVCs. My EP and HF told me this not my opinion. Finding ways to lower your stress and anxiety is important with PVCs that affect your mental health.

I had bad PVCs in right ventrical that my EP did a ablation. It fixed it and has not return many years later. However my LV PVCs got really bad. I asked about (EP) about another ablation but wanted to try medication first. The medication I was put on reduced my PVCs about 75%. And of course my stress level went down and I think both like both my specialst has said affect eath other.

Do you see a cardiologist or electrophsiologist (spell). If you can see a EP I would sure recommend it. My EP also put me on magnesium. But you should check with your doctors and not assume you should take because I do. But magnesium has been shown to help with PVCs and asked your cardiologist about it.

Also do not stress out on your posts. We all started where you are and it is a site to express your feelings and get feedback from others with similiar expereiences.

Thank you so much JC. I do have a cardiologist and this one I trust. I've never heard of an Ep but will ask my Cardiologist what he thinks. I'm flying through all the posts and am unfortunately happy that I am not alone. I searched for a long time to find others that are in the same predicament. My PVC's have been so bad lately that I've resorted to taking a half of Xanax at night so I can sleep. I wake and feel so much better but then feel the anxiety build as I'm just waiting to feel it start again. I feel like I'm living on pins and needles. I'm also going to ask my doctor about possibly an anti depressant. I have been on them in the past while I watched my da die from Alzheimers. That did help bring stress down. Again thank you for reaching out to me even while you too, are dealing with what life throws at you. Be well, JC and again I am grateful for you.
