What causes an episode of premature ventricular contractions (PVCs)?

No I do not drag through the day.(other than from all my chronic pain ailments). I was taking 100 mgs. for my blood pressure before my PVC episodes. But when I was in ER a few years ago, nothing they were doing was working. So they doubled my dose. Now I do not have PVCs happening and my blood pressure is always good. (I do also take lisinopril and hydrochlorothiazide for BP) I take other downer meds too for my pain issues.

I have 4 arrhythmias a fib, atrial flutter, V tach, and SVT. I discovered the magic of CBD oil in December of 2017 after a year of either shocks by my defibrillator or electro cardio conversions. A failed ablation attempt to treat the afib in 2001 before aortic root surgery. Pain and anxiety was always a factor in the more serious events. During a Dr’s appointment at an electro physiologist’s office to discuss a total ablation, I met a woman in the waiting room and she told me how CBD oil had pretty much stopped all of her arrhythmias. I got the name of the company that she got it from “Populum “, did some research and ordered my first bottle of CBD oil. I went from constant afib, to a total absence of any arrhythmias after taking it for just two days ! My afib was greatly reduced in just 5 hours after my first dose. Don’t take my word for it, google “CBD for arrhythmias“ and read the findings from the NIH.gov and several other articles about its effectiveness. My electrophysiologist couldn’t be the difference when he connected to my defibrillator. I went from hundreds of recoded events to just a dozen small ones in a 3 month period, and was only 3 when it was checked last week. Don’t just start taking it until you have done the research for yourself. CBD effects the p450 liver enzyme which is responsible for medication break down, especially Coumadin. It’s just a matter of slowly increase your dose of CBD and don’t take it within 4 hours of any other medications. My INR has been on track and for the first time in 20 years I don’t have any arrhythmias. I have an artificial aortic valve that used to drive my anxiety to the moon during bad arrhythmias like SVT or atrial flutter. Those folks that have an artificial valve know the click click click that you can’t ignore especially when your heart’s beating fast or erratic.

@dvdhoover that sounds very encouraging, I will have to look that up and refer to the links you provided..right now, mine are PVSs And some occasional PACs ...but very tiresome...thanks

Do you take the CBD oil orally or apply it topically (if so where?)

I also had the PVS’s. I have 4 arrhythmias, Afib, atrial flutter, SVT, and Vtach. I should say that I used to have them. Just make sure that you do some research about how to take CBD and avoid drug interactions. It has to be a full spectrum CBD. Good luck to you!

I take a full spectrum oil from Populum orally under my tongue. I also have their 25mg capsules that I take if I’m out of the oil. It’s not like other arrhythmia medications that you don’t dare miss a dose, plus all of the side effects. I still take the carvedilol, just half what I used to take for heart failure.

Thanks David

I have to see my Cardiologist on the 30th. He may I hope run another echo cardiogram...glad you are feeling better...I hope things go well...I want to know if my CAD is causing these or if my collaterals are still working....

David,

That’s most encouraging...I will mention this to my Cardiologist on the 30th....Frankly, I have not been up on the medical marijuana and it’s uses or components...but I go the Belvoir and Walter Reed Bethesda and it is right across from NIH...very happy for you...maybe this could be the headache medicine for PVCs....thanks and have a good day, sorry for the short replies, I find it very difficult to accurately type on these iPhones...you know, maybe this CBD is a help for ED...that would be great 👍🏻

@dvdhoover hi, thanks for the information as I will certainly ask my Cardiologist about it when I see him next week..today was miserable...PVCs some bigeminy, waiting in the line at the bank and it’s...well we all know ... but I’ve read some articles on this and I’m cautiously optimistic about this CBD...

Google nano cbd before you buy it. New thing. Supposedly stops it from having to go thru ur liver, so that bad thing goes away and only 1/10th as much needed. I am testing tommy chong version... 3wks on it, I MAY feel some better...
