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

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.

I just tried the xanax also. It did help. I have had PVC's since March 2024. It seems once they start they are very hard to stop. I have the KardiaMobile card and check often. I had a heart attack in 2006 and have been told I have no damage to my heart muscle. Over the years I have had stents put in (4 at the time of the heart attack and 2 over the years) I am 67 and very active around the house. Plant large shrubs 10 at a time, break out concrete patio's and walkways, yard work, washing waxing cars. I never sit down, but the PVC's are driving me crazy. The test showed me at 24%, that's 24,000/day. Now i have them at every heart beat, I believe its called Bigeminy. They gave me a couple of medicines to try and if they don't work they will do an Ablation. It definitly has a lot to do with the slightest amount of increased adrenaline. Even just a thought, conversation, TV show, eating, physical activity can trigger them.
