Hi, prior to my transplant i had a heart that was plagued with arruthmias and i would get PVCs also. I was told that mine never were sustained enough to worry about. They are tho bothersome for me it made me think i was going into an arruthmia attack. So when i got PVCs they usually didn't last but maybe 10 min max most times only a few minutes. And i had a pacemaker which recorded them and the drs would only say oh don't worry you didn't have many. So i guess the question is what does your drs say. And maybe wearing a 48 hour holter would help them figure out if they are dangerous. Mine never did cause a attack of arrythimias so even tho they play with your mind they didn't leat to anything with me. Hope that helps.

Woah! Not many people start a post with "Prior to my transplant...". Can I ask what happened that lead to a heart transplant? Certainly not PVCs with the doctors telling you not to worry. Arrhythmias can be treated with meds. How did you go from that to a transplant?
Btw, when you say you had a pacemaker, I think you mean a Holter monitor to record the heart activity over a 24 hour period.
I am interested/curious to know what lead to such a drastic medical procedure...and what caused it if you don't mind sharing.

Thank you so much for sharing your experiences with PVCs. I’m meeting with my cardiologist Tuesday to further discuss my situation. I truly appreciate you sharing your story. Right now I’m just scared because they feel absolutely horrible when they happen.
