Your last sentence is what you need to focus on. I have learned to discuss taking any supplements with my medical doctors. They are the only ones who have your complete medical and mental health history and all medications you are taking.
Supplements and vitamins can affect prescribed medications. I have heard about Berberine but for me would not take it without both my EP and my heart failure doctor saying okay and verifying does not contradict other medications or my health issues.
I was given a recommendation to help with PACs and PVCs of magnesium citrate by EP. My EP did the checking for me with my heart failure doctor who said okay. If not I would have checked with all.
Have been taking magnesium for a long time now. However had some issues with non sustained Tachycardia and was put on a medication called Mexiletine by my EP. It not only almost completely stopped the tachycardia but drastically reduced the PACs and PVCs.
I see a lot of post with individuals under a lot of stress and anxiety because they are monitoring their PACs and PVCs. I know hard not to but worry about them causes more stress and anxiety which will cause more PACs and PVCs. This comes from both my EP and heart failure doctor.
So for me I was told to continue with my exercise routine (I was medically cleared to do) and it really helps reduce my anxiety and stress over my PACs and PVCs. But those who don't like to exercise I always mentioned finding a hobby you like doing. Anything your find favorable and or brings a smile to your face do it. It will really help with stress and anxiety.
One exercise though check with your doctors and let them give you acceptable levels of exercise. I have not done any Sprint Triathlons lately due to skin cancer surgeries but have done about 50 of them since 2017 and I am a heart failure patient with a ICD/Pacemaker.
