@sjm46 I sympathize with you because it’s terrible. I’ve been dealing with PVCs my whole life, but they’ve progressively gotten worse and I’m on medication for it. I have an electrophysiologist a cardiologist psychiatrist a psychologist a therapist a PCP I’ve had all of the test plus I demanded a cardiac MRI a couple of years ago because my panic disorder would not let me let it go and of course everything was perfect and they laughed at me for wanting it done, but my mind doesn’t stop thinking the worst once they start up and I’m trying to be a Mom and work two jobs and it’s just you would think by this time with all of the breakthroughs in the medical world that we would have some kind of answer for these arrhythmias and PVCs, besides telling somebody they are benign. you’re fine. You. have to learn to live with them“

@kpryor1982 I so agree with you! It just "eats" at you after awhile. You do all the right things--lifestyle changes that they "accuse" you of having to "explain" why you are the one with these arrhythymias: high blood pressure (treated and controlled), caffeine (one lousy cup of 1/2 caf every morning!), no alcohol ever!, no sleep apnea, lost 12 pounds and I wasn't overweight to begin with!, no salty/processed foods (we live on veggies and I never eat red meat--oh excuse me, a lousy hamburger once in a while--oh and Cheetos occasionally LOL), never smoked, no heart disease, WHAT? Oh, I am old! I can't fix that! So I send you my deepest empathy. I agree with you! It drives me nuts. I think you have made me feel better than any of the docs! 🙂 We just have to hang in there I guess. We "live with it" until we don't!
