I have had PVCs and SVT for ten years. lately I’ve been more symptomatic and it’s so so scary and frustrating. I am on metoprolol and they have recently given me flecainide as a pill in the pocket for Svt episodes and I am terrified to take it. I have a wonderful cardiologist that has tried to set me at ease and i have an EP appointment in about 4 weeks. I am very excited to see what he thinks …. Ablation or not. I am nervous it would make things worse but I am finding it harder and harder to deal with. I get nervous about driving, vacations, and being alone with my grandbabies. I have been seeing a therapist which has helped tremendously and added yoga and meditation with the Calm App almost every day. The deep breathing really helps with my PVCs. It’s worth trying.

Has your cardiologist mentioned magnesium? My EP suggested 400 mg of citrate.

There are a lot of medications out there that help with PVCs. I am on one that really helped reduce tachycardia and PVCs.

I known and have been told by my EP that stress and anxiety will cause PVCs. I have found that so true after I lost my 12.5 year old coca poo to auto immune disease that attacked his platelets.

Man did my PVCs go up.
