When you have had these episodes do they check your electrolytes? That can be key to heart arrymythmias.
MY EP asked me to take magnesium to help with PVCs and arrythmias.
How is your stress and axniety levels? The old flight or fight hormone adrenaline can have a big impact on heart rates. If the adrenaline builds up can affect heart.
If you are under stress or anxiety talk to your PCP and cardiologist about things to do to lower stress and anxiety. I always suggest exercise (with doctor approval) and hobbies. And there are some great medications out there that really helped with stress and anxiety. I do both and really helped me.

Hi, I'm not sure what they check when they take my blood, but I really should enquire! They do say all tests are OK!. My stress levels are OK, unless I go into hospital and I'm sure it goes up. My main concern is what starts it initially. I'm reasonably active but am hesitant to do anything to excess for fear of setting it off.
