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.

I take a combination of supplements in one pill. It is Calcium, Magnesium, zinc. The preferred type is Magnesium Citrate. My doctor (EP) advised me to take 400 mg a day.

My EP a world reknown EP is Dr. Kusumoto at Jacksonville Mayo Clinic. He has also stated that weight has a real affect on PACs and PVCs as well as stress.

He has me on a drug called Mexiline (spell). I don't think it has reduced them much but they have me on lowest dose. I am working on the weight portion as pretty well stop watching it for all of 2023 as was undergoing treatment for prostrate cancer and then had MOHS surgery that required 6 stitches. So was not a time to worry about comfort food.

Getting a good night sleep will definitely help!
