PVCs after covid infection- Do they go away?

Posted by burke5500 @burke5500, Jan 29, 2023

I was infected with Covid in January of 21 and January of 22. Three weeks after my infection I started having pvcs. Has anyone else experienced them? Is there relief? Do they go away? Two years for me now.

Yep, that is how it happened. Completely healthy until the virus then shortly after PVCs. We couldn't correlate it with anything BUT the virus. I didn't get the vaccine, but I am noticing more people who got the virus have PVCs now..... just wow!!!!!

Re PVCs
Yes. Go away. I'm at three years. I only had PVCs in year one. Fatigue is waning. I felt almost cured at the end of year two. Them I got the booster and severe relapse set in. Tinitus, swollen head to brain fog, night sweats etc. A nebulizer with Albuterol and Butesonide is helping. As is LDN

I had PVC about 2-3 months after Covid infection. Went through several cardiologists and got on holter monitor with 30% burden and I was recommended ablation procedure but due to my circumstances at the time decided against it and went with alternative therapy, daily exercise, all kinds of vitamins and supplements I could find and traditional chinese medicine. Seems to get better at some days but never totally disappeared, may be on certain days but it always came back. At the end after about 1 year of suffering, I decided to go with ablation, PVC went away immediately after the therapy. Looking back, ablation is the best option with 95% success rate, my PVC manifested from electrical wiring issues on the heart tissue which could be from scarring from Covid, I don't think non-invasive therapy could have work since its hardwired in the heart. The 95% success as explained by my electrophysiologist, is from finding hot spots on your heart tissue, the major ones are surely to be found but minor one that is not as active could be left out.

Also started getting PVCs 3 months after Covid. Was in good shape at the time i caught it. Had the gamut of tests for PVC diagnosis. My stress test technician said he started seeing a lot more PVCs show up after Covid started. It has been 1.5 years and they still occur. On Metaprolol which has helped a lot. Just caught Covid again so hoping it doesn’t make it worse!

Had Covid in 21, had pvcs a few months later that were periodic. Now it’s a daily experience. Just got off a 3 day monitor, prescribed 2nd heart med now for it, still occurs but it helps. I was losing my mind with anxiety, basically preparing for the absolute worst as I get overwhelmed about my heart fairly easily. Luckily it seems to have some characteristics of POTS and doesn’t really bother me once I lay down. It’s only when sitting or standing do I start having the PVCs. Seems like using the bathroom or eating sets my PVCs off for whatever reason. My anxiety is a trigger as well but not as often. I’m definitely scared! Glad I’m not immediately about to perish but any time I feel them, I immediately get in my head about it. Truly, truly, truly hope to G-D this isn’t just life now. Going for an echo tomorrow and a stress the day after… I guess I’ll see whatever’s going to happen and hopefully get some answer’s/help. Stay positive everybody, I know I’m gonna try!

Are there risks/complications that can occur from ablation procedures?

Same here, just Covid then PVCs right after.

Yea me too. Noticed them about 2 weeks after getting over the Covid. Get a PVC every after a normal beat or after normal two beats. Not sure if I have symptoms - more fatigued than usual but that could be anything. PVC does not produce as much cardiac output as a normal sinus beat so my apparent pulse rate may be misleading. Echo and treadmill were normal. Have not tried any medicines yet. Covid can give myocarditis - inflammation of the heart muscle. Guess it can attack the conduction system as well. Sure hope it goes away.
