Thank you for your reply. I'll begin with exercise, I've been wanting to do some walking or punch on my heavy bag but I'm not sure at this point if that would be wise, I intend to ask my doctor about that Monday morning. I'm going to give him an unexpected visit Monday as my PVCs are absolutely no better and he never gave me any additional instructions on what to do while waiting for a referral to Cleveland clinic. Intend to ask him about trying me on another medication until I can get this remedied for good through an ablation. I had cut back on the beta blocker that I've been prescribed to a quarter of a pill which would be 5 mg but this morning the PVCs were so troubling that I took a whole one and I've been absolutely wiped out all day comment to the point of even going to the emergency room in hopes of there being a cardiologist on call when I got there but as of yet I'm not done that. Very very weak and it's really affecting my nerves now which I pride myself on not worrying about much at all. Again, thank you for your reply. I guess at this point I'm just trying to figure out if this amount of PVCs is going to damage my heart before I can get the ablation done, these began 4 weeks yesterday and haven't let up.

I should add, there may also be positional issues, I've found that just lying down too many hours a day, even too many hours in a row, can aggravate things. Just standing vertically to watch tv can help, with a little stretching, marching in place, anything. Sometimes I get out a cane that I don't need, just for "extra grounding", to make standing vertically an exercise or occasion.
