I very much appreciate your response on this. Yes, the CC is considered the top heart hospital in the world. I am blessed to be within driving distance. The U of M is also a superb heart hospital that I’m only 15 minutes from. You’re absolutely right about PVCs not being a huge deal to most Cardiologists. But feeling every thud multiple times a minute isn’t conducive to good quality of life.
I haven’t had any Vfib yet thank God. I do get runs of NSVT at times but not super often. When I had my EP study done they couldn’t induce any Vtach so they didn’t put in an ICD. They did however implant a loop recorder to keep an eye on things. My EF is 55% so that’s another reason why they didn’t implant the ICD. They didn’t mention any supplements although I have tried a few without any luck. Currently on Metoprolol Amlodipene and Eloquis. Which don’t seem to help much with the PVCs either. They do have some rotten side effects though.
I’m sorry to here your mother wasn’t there for you. I don’t ever want my daughter to feel that way. Doing every can.

Asked your cardiologist about using magnesium.

It was recommended to me by my EP. I do take it per their instructions of 400 mg a day. Seems to be a supplement recommended to try by many cardiologists.

I did not see you mention having a EP (Electrophysiologist) whose specific specialty is electrical functions of heart. If you don't have one, I would suggest trying to see one. I would have thought Cleveland Clinic, and your UM would have had you seeing one.

I might have missed you already seeing one so forgive if I missed that.
