How dangerous are PVCS

Posted by concern @concern, Jul 8 12:14pm

I know everyone on this site and other sites are dealing with serious health issues. Can someone please help me. I'm 63 years old and I've been having PVCS and l saw my
Cardiologist. 2 day holter monitor. He said nothing to worry about. But I've felt my pulse when I'm having an episode. My heart feels like it's skipping 2 or 3 beats in a row. Can someone please tell me will this cause cardiac arrest. Any opinions would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you

I was asked by a poster which magnesium I take for PVCs.

I answered the post that I take Citrate form. I also posted this recommendation to take the Citrate form came from my electrophysiologist (EP) at Mayo. This EP is the director of electrophysiology and pace clinic at Mayo Jacksonville.

I asked why that form and was told most easily absorbed. He did say some take form digestive help for same reason. I was also told if caused digestive issues the Glycimate (spell) was also easily absorb. I was advised to take 400 mg daily.

With any post regarding supplemental taking it is important to remind those considering supplements to check with their doctors to make sure applicable to them and will not contradict medications or mental or physical conditions.

Example: I was seeing posters recommending potassium supplments. I check with my EP and said no do not take any additional postassium as my blood test showed I was at the high normal limit for it.

Exactly, and that is why we who have experience and learning should encourage people asking to read, read, read,.......................AND......................to run whatever they decide to do, that their primary care giver should know about, past them as cheap insurance. Best to stay on their good side anyway. 😀
