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

My PVCs are all day long and cardiologist says they are harmless but I feel every one. Which magnesium supplements help? I’m on a beta blocker for many years for hypertension and I do have anxiety and panic attacks. Thank you

Yes mine are all day also. Some are minor and I ignore some are stronger and pause to see if more coming.
My EP at Mayo Jacksonville recommended I take 400 mg of magnesium to help with PVCs. He recommended the Citrate form. Why? It is highly absorbable. Some though it can cause some digestive issue. I researched on line and found that the Glycimate (spell) was also highly absorable.
Check with you doctors first before starting a supplement to make sure right fo you. Example. Posters were promoting potassium as helping. I checked with my EP and said did not recommend taking any additional potassium as my blood test revealed I was at the high level of posttasium in my blood test.
Anxiety and panic attacks. We per my doctors need to try and reduce anxiety and stress. Per my doctors they do add and aggravate PVCs and PAC (atrium) rympthm.
What I do is participate in exercise I like doing 6 days a week. It really helps reduce my anxiety as always thinking about PVCs and possibly getting a AICD shock. Check again with your doctors about exercising as we do not know about your medical history.
Some don't like to exercise. Then find a hobby you really like. I have posted in past reading several history books on FDR. He was under tremendous stress in WW2. What he did almost every day was to work on hisstamp collection as it allowed him to relax and enjoy something.
It goes a long way with mental health which has dramatic affect on physical health.

I've had PVC'S for many years also. Cardiologist said years ago that everyone has them, even him. It's just that I'm very aware of mine whereas most people do not feel them. I also take losartan for high blood pressure. I take 25mg metoprolol twice daily. I take magnesium citrate supplement per my cardiologists request. My PVC'S are almost nonexistent now. Every now and then I'll feel them. My doctor said unless you are having other symptoms, profuse sweating, chest pain, difficulty breathing, arm pain etc, then there is usually nothing to worry about.
