Hi,
I've been getting an increased number of pvcs for the past 6 weeks. I finally went to a Dr who sent me to ER for evaluation. Heart enzyme tests fine and I was released. I followed up with a cardiologist. I wore a 14 day cardiac monitor but had enough data in two days so it was sent off for a report. The dr office called me and said I was having a large number of palpitations close together. No shit Sherlock! I wrote down the time that I was having one as instructed and they averaged one every 15 minutes. I've been referred to a heart rhythm specialist. I feel that they have calmed down some from two weeks ago. I completely stopped drinking any alcohol two weeks ago because it can cause palpitations. I started taking an acid reflux inhibitor from Terra Health that my friend with acid reflux/heartburn told me about 3 days ago. Too early to say. I asked my Cardiologist if I could hold off 2 weeks on heart rhythm specialist to see if my pvcs continue to decrease. I was told I may have Gerd even though I don't experience heartburn or acidic regurgitation. You posted 2 years ago so I was wondering what you found out.
Very interesting and helpful. Thanks for sharing.
