I agree deep breathing helps calm the strong beats. Found out my potassium levels are low; they increased the dosage to two 20 mecg twice a day a month ago… waiting to see if it’s still low. Laying on my right side to sleep also seems to help.
A nurse tech suggested this may be caused by the position of the lead in the ventrical and it’s proximity to the phrenic nerve.

@jwooders3 I use low sodium V-8 for potassium. It has a lot. V-8 uses it instead of salt in the low sodium version.

I started to have an arrythmia today and took a Gas X and sat up straight. I burped and my heart went back to normal!
