Please any of my fellow PVC Warriors please help me feel better
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.

For me the 2 week heart monitor revealed Bradycardia. A first step.
Next I failed stress test.
Had angiogram, then pacemaker. Took 4 surgerys and 5 days in hospital.
Had a bad concussion about a year ago which may still be causing symptoms.
I think determining blood flow can not be accurately be determined.
Timing of signals to parts of heart valves can be off.

1 Reaction@bryanta i’m sorry that happened to you. Yeah I passed the stress test and my MRI. My cardiac MRI was fine and my cardiac ultrasound was fine and all of my blood work is fine and my event monitor showed PVCs for the most part PACs and that’s it no SVT or Brady Cardia or any bad rhythms had probably five event monitors and probably 10 Holter monitors over the last 15 years
