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”.
