Female 31, constant PVCs. What can I personally do to help myself?

The doctors in my country generally aren’t very explorative. They just want you to take a beta blocker and move on, no desire to help find a cause for PVCs that have bothered me greatly for 4 years. I’ve had a bad week of them, due to see a cardiologist soon. In the meantime, I need some advice on how I can help myself. I took magnesium glycinate and somehow, the PVCs got worse. I’ve improved my eating habits to prevent bloating or IBS. I take electrolytes. But for some reason these things have not helped me this week. I generally don’t have any other symptoms, besides discomfort and irritation. Sometimes a mild chest pain. In any case, this stuff is scary.

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Heart Rhythm Conditions Support Group.

How were you diagnosed? How many are you having.
Because they are essentially harmless, unless you have a large number, an ablation is generally the best way to “ cure” them
Drs. will not typically do this unless they are very high.
I had two areas ablated as I was having so many, over a million in a month.
Mine were literally one out of 3 beats being a PVC.
