@healthyhealing I know this was a year ago, but I really thank you for saying these things I have really bad days where I have 500 to 700 PVCs a day and it’s debilitating I feel like my quality of life has gone down and I have six kids that I’m trying to raise five boys you can imagine the stress, but it gets to the point where I feel like giving up sometimes it’s so hard. I’ve seen every doctor. You can imagine. I have an electrophysiologist a cardiologist a PCP a psychiatrist a psychologist a therapist. I’m on 25 mg metoprolol morning the night and .5 clonazepam up to three times a day as well as magnesium and potassium supplements. I also drink hydration packets once or twice a day and a lot of water. I’ve given up all caffeine. I haven’t drank alcohol in 15 years. I just don’t understand anymore. What to do. I feel so defeated because I’ll go three weeks with one or two here and there too a week like this past week where they’re every minute to two minutes and it just is so so distracting and disheartening.

@kpryor1982 some suggestions:
1. Read The AFIB Cure by Day. You may find some other things to try.
2. Do you any problems with Sleep Apnea. You should verify that this not an issue.
3. Check your level of thyroid stimulating hormone - TSH. I’ve discovered that if my TSH is too low, I have more arrhythmias whereas if I keep it above 4 arrhythmias disappear. Be careful not to take TSH too high as there are other problems when TSH is too high.
4. If you can’t find natural solutions and meds aren’t working then consider an ablation. This the best treatment for AFIB and should reduce or eliminate your symptoms. Newer technology makes the procedure even safer.
