I started having PAC’s, and PVC’s one evening for no obvious reason. They would usually begin at around 8:30pm to 10:30pm, and would last until 2:00am. This condition went on for four days. I started eating our home grown tomatoes everyday because I like tomatoes, not considering I would get some therapeutic benefit. However, after eating two tomatoes everyday for four days I am no longer am experiencing PAC’s or PVC’s. A Google search reveals tomatoes may lower blood pressure, and improve heart health. I could find no evidence that tomatoes actually provide relief from this annoying problem, but so far it’s working for me. I would say, make sure you’re properly hydrated, get all your electrolytes, and try eating a couple of tomatoes a day for a week, and see what happens. If it works; great. If you still have PAC’s/PVC’s, after eating all those tomatoes, think about all those extra veggies you ingested. What do you have to lose.
