I am scheduled to have a septal myectomy with Dr Shaff on 5/30/19. I am just curious if anyone else experiences PVC . Is that common is that not common. Some days I feel just fine like Im on top of the world then it feels like something just hits me and I feel terrible and out of breath and get many pvc's. Sometimes have a hard time just walking without getting winded. then there will be days I feel fine. does anyone else experience anything like this?

I have what I call "bad heart days" when I get short of breath easily, but those don't happen very often. For the last year, I have been using a rolling walker for support while walking my dog or going to the clinic. Over time, my stamina has increased. Dr. Omman told me not to worry about the extra beats I was having. Do you check your pulse? I have periods when I am having missed/skipped beats, and I am aware of them, but can't predict when it will happen . If PVCs were dangerous for you, your cardiologist would have put you on medicine to control them or suggested an implanted defibrillator.
