PVCs after covid infection- Do they go away?

I had COVID in March when it first started, I was only sick a few days but about 3 weeks later I Developed a bigemini rhythm, shortness of breath and racing heartbeat. It was pretty constant for 6 months, then it became a now and then thing like once every month or so but would usually only last a week or two. I was perfectly healthy before COVID, worked outside everyday, hiked rode dirt bikes every day. After 3 years of these PVC's I had pain and went to er where I had a massive heart attack, luckily I was in er already and doc was right next to me when it happened. Doc calls me a legend now because it took them 20 minutes to get my heart going again and he didn't think it was going to happen. Heart attack was August 8th, I have no memory of it or for the following week, I spent 2 weeks in hospital and feel alright now although my sternum still hurts. So far no PVC's since.

@pestilent1 Can you clarify - you had COVID 3 years ago, having PVCs since, and had a heart attack after COVID? I have these same symptoms and the only thing that takes it away is the beta blocker I’m on that we’ve titrated up from 25mcg to now 175mcg. Toprol XL. They tell me it’s my autonomic nervous system inappropriately giving a fight or flight response causing cardiac issues. Every time I go to ER it’s just a rhythm that isn’t normal but not needing “fixed”.

When I saw a cardiologist for my PVCs he told me that I had no scarring or inflammation in my heart, that the rhythm I was having is caused a bigemini rhythm and it's a non harming thing. He told me that if it really bothers me there's things that can be done, but said for now let's see you again in 6 months and see how you are. I was out on metropanol, but had to stop taking it as it was making my blood pressure really low.
Lol sorry, but yes COVID 3 years ago PVCs off and on ever since up until heart attack . Mind you I am 54, smoked up until heart attack, but really I was super healthy until COVID. Insomnia, tinnitus, PVCs, shortness of breath all started within 3 weeks of having it. Tinnitus went away after heart attack for awhile, but the crickets in my ears are singing loud as ever now once again..

I've been throwing PVCs my whole life. Mine are also caused by the electrical circuitry in my upper left chambers of my heart. They worsened about a year ago but not from COVID but just from the fact they're getting worse. Diagnosed with supraventricular tachycardia with PVCs . I also and taking toprol...metoprolol. It's helpful to not drink thinks with caffeine, sugar, or a lot of carbohydrates and to stay as stress free as possible. Get plenty of restful sleep. I take melatonin every night to help get better rest. Don't smoke or drink alcohol. Be consistent with the time you take your medicine. Instead of taking mine in the once daily dose, I break it in half and take it twice daily as I have found of I take the whole dose just once daily my system absorbs it too quickly which causes my symptoms to increase. Good luck and I hope I've given you some good pointers that you may find beneficial for you also. It's all trial and error but I must say that after as long as yours has been going on, you too have probably had this prior to COVID but just not to the extent that you ever noticed it. COVID just brought it on more extreme. Unfortunately it's usually a lifelong thing once it starts. That's why it's important to do things to help improve the control of it so the meds will help control it more efficient. Good luck!

I'm about 1.5 months from my COVID infection and they started over the last week. I didn't know what it was until I bought a small Wellue EKG and started catching them with the app. I can say, however, that I've had them probably my whole life, just maybe once a month or something and I never paid any attention. Right now I just have a few an hour. Hoping some supplements and time will help get rid of them but will probably go talk to my doctor about it next week just in case.

I started having PVCs and tachycardia after covid. Exact same treatment that you were prescribed. So far, Cleveland clinic has not found an intervention that is effective. I am seeing an electro physiologist to look at a corrective procedure. I am not suggesting that is the route you need to go, but I had no cardiac symptoms prior to covid. There are a couple more medications that are strictly for tachycardia/ PVCs/ PACS. Speak to your cardiologist again and maybe ask about different medications. Calcium channel blockers are decent but your body does take time to adjust.

After I got covid in 2020, I did have tachycardia and stage 1 chf. However it did resolve after about a few months and the inflammation went down. Good luck

Thank you. At this point I am seeing EP at the Cleveland clinic to correct the HR issues/tachycardia- hopeful but tired.

I've had both PACs and PVCs since getting COVID in January 2020 (ish). I had the exact same treatment. I still take Diltiazem, but, at 29, I'm looking for other options. Diltiazem is not recommended for pregnancy, and I'd like to start a family eventually.

Can't do much better than the Cleveland Clinic. I wish you all the best.
