Stress can make both PVCs and PACs worse. Weight can also cause it to worsen.
Was magnesium suggested to you by your EP? If not asked about it. My EP at Mayo asked me to take it to help with PVCs but was already taking it.

I too took medications that lowered my pulse rate. This caused mor PVCs. My EP raised my pacemaker to 70 BPM to help raise resting heart rate from going so low. It did help but PVCs are still in my opinion a pain in the butt.

I can deal with single ones but the sensation of them happening 2 or 3 at a time is stressful and I am sure I tense up which does no good for PVCs. It is the old fight or flight and we do neither so stress and adrenline stays in our body.

Speak to your EP about anti anxiety medications and if okay to take magnesium supplement. The magnesium is being seen by a lot of EP as helpful

I take magnesium on occasion. 100mg of glycanite. What kind do you take and what dosage? I would agree slower heart rate seems to increase PVCs and PACs. I just started to take banana cinnamon tea at night for sleep seems to help for better sleep which in turn might reduce PVCs and PACs.
