@jc76 Thanks for your reply. 63 year old female. I am at a normal BMI, no caffeine, alcohol, or recreational drugs. Eat a clean diet. Exercise daily by fast walking for 2-3 miles. I am retired, but work part-time for fun. I also take magnesium and Vitamin D3. I did an in-patient sleep study last night which looks to be normal breathing during sleep. My EP ordered it to see if apnea could be an issue. I do have high blood pressure but take medication for that. My pacemaker will download in another week. I have a pacemaker w/o ICD. I do have a strong family history. My dad has a pacemaker for same issue I have and he is currently experiencing longer lasting NSVT-he had 3 episodes in the past month that lasted 13 seconds... My mom had an ablation for irregular tachycardia about 30 years ago when she was in her early 50s. I would rather have inherited something good like a nice singing voice. My ablation was done at Mayo in Rochester so that will be my next step if this progresses.

Seems generic like you mentioned.
It sounds like you are doing all you can to address the VT. I wish I could say my BMI was a good as yours and could fast walk. At 78, an old herniated disk from football back in high school, can't fast walk anymore. I can do about a 17 minute pace and stay of concrete and okay.
When I take my dog for a walk he wants to speed walk and keeps telling me (walking ahead and pulling me) my dog that but he seems to be egging me on to go faster and he is 12.5 years old. Do guess can use the 78 years old as an excuse can I?
