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

Thanks for reaching out Vicki. I am determined this time to push back. Don't get me wrong, my doctors all have been very kind and understanding but that doesn't help at 6 at night when they suddenly flare and you feel paralyzed by fear. I'm going on the 13 of Jan and I'm going to have everything written down. All that I've learned and read and felt. I'm not going to take reassurance from them...well I will, but I want to know more about magnesium and ablation and other meds that may be better for me. I cannot walk around all day just waiting for them to jump out and send me reeling. Again, thank you for responding. I am so happy I found you all.

An EP (electrophysiologist) is a cardiologist that specializes in heart rhythm issues. Pacemakers, implantable defibrillators, ablations etc. Your general cardiologist can always ask for a consult if they don’t have all the answers. Here’s a nice summary with some hopefully helpful tips. https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/premature-ventricular-contractions/symptoms-causes/syc-20376757 - try not to lose sleep over this (easier said than done, I know) but if your cardiologist has assured you that the rhythm is not harmful - focus on symptom management. Anxiety and stress in general can exacerbate the condition and then it becomes a vicious loop. It took 4 different medication trials before I found one that was right for me. There is no one size fits all. Good luck and keep us posted.
