Hello mjj151.
Thank you for sharing your information. 15%..wow... I think I am at 10% now, but my cardio keeps telling me I am fine. We have tried beta blockers and calcium channel blockers...no help at all. Now he wants me to try Flecanide which is very scary medication. Not sure what to do anymore as I am tormented every day and evening with them. I have seen a cardiologist and two different electrophysiologists and they all say I am fine. No...I am not fine...

I’ve had good results from Flecainide (100mg BID) in suppressing PVCs for about 8 months. No noticeable side effects. However, symptomatic PVCs have recently returned. I had 2 ablations to no improvement. Trying to learn to live with it.

No, you are not. I can see that a lot more research needs to be done in this field. My cardiologist says he's had them, but I don't think he's had them like we have. I cannot understand them telling us we're fine. Guess it's because they don't know enough about them.
