Premature ventricular contractions (PVCs)

Alcohol definitely can bring on PVCs.

I totally agree Alcohol does affect PVC and arrhythmias

Listen to York Cardiology doc on Youtube.

This doc helped me rid myself of palpitations and flippy heart beats.
I already told another group, and I know that these issues can ruin your life!
This doc is really a great guy... so much info.
He said use magnesium taurate and vitamin D together.
Vit D, Magnesium must be taken together.

You must take the right magnesium.
My palpitations stopped after conferring with Dr Gupta from York Cardiology.
He suggested Magnesium TAURATE for people with heart palpitations and Afib.
Sure enough…. I got the brand he stated and I am 98% free of palpitations.

So just FYI… this is the magnesium brand he said to use:

I get it through Amazon and take daily with Vit D 5000 mg.

Hope this helps anyone out there with these issues.
Ask your doctor, but really I would think ANY doc would understand this.

I am 41 years old and had a stress test yesterday. Went 19 minutes on the treadmill and a minute or two after she slowed the treadmill down I had pvc. She said it was the only one on the test. I read that recovery pvcs are the ones you worry about. Otherwise the rest of the test was normal. Echo shows normal except mild thickening of the trileaflet aortic valve. Had several holiter done. First 48 hour showed 100 pvcs and a couple look to be r on t which concerns me. Second 48 hour showed 6 pvcs. Third 24 hour showed 1 pvcs. Some of the pvcs are multifocal. Also had a echo stress test that was normal and 21 day monitor that recorded a couple pvcs and pacs. Had a 30 day moniter where I would start having episodes of pacs that would last for up to 3 hours and for two hours estraight I would have a pac every couple of seconds which felt terrible. I had three or four days on the 30 day monitor this happened and it’s been over a year and have not had a episode since. Still three different ep doctors tell me I have nothing to worry about and that my heart is normal. i Work out regularly and will randomly feel a pvc during exercise and recovery. Should I be concerned and what should I do being that the eps don’t take me seriously

Actually, that's a good idea. I had short runs of PSVT, had me scared. Never showed on the Holter Monitors, so they did Event Monitoring. When it occurred, and I called it in, I was expecting the worst, but the boredom of the technician saying "You had a little PSVT there" with no instructions to immediately go to a hospital was a relief. LOL.

I’m 59, diagnosed with pvc’s about 3years ago by primary doctor. I run daily and pvc’s go away while running. During hot weather running I experience racing heart and dizziness. Like fluttering. I woke up a couple nights ago with the same fluttering but only lasted a few minutes. My doctor says I’m fine and hasn’t recommended a cardiologist. I alway feel fine otherwise. Should I be concerned?

The first step is usually a 24 hour holter monitor. They will note the average number of PVCs by hour, as well as whether they might be coming from one or several areas.

Get a 12 lead, not one with fewer leads as they can see more based on the 12. And keep those results with you. Even if you are ok, it’s a good baseline.

I had a certain PVC for 20 years. At the base of the papillary muscle that attaches to the Mitral Valve. Used to drive me crazy. A few good burns from an ablation killed that little monster

Good to hear. But 16,000 in a 24 hour period still scares me.

Once again, if your heart is healthy PVC's are totally benign!

donsmith 1959, these are damaging your heart. Mine were about 20 times a minute, The ablation cut them down completely for awhile, but now I get maybe one a minute, sometimes none.
