Questions about PVCs

I also eat nuts and seeds. They say you are what you eat. Well, I am half nuts! LOL

Not sure this is related, but did you have Covid before this all started? I had Covid in November 2023, and one month later PVCs, and PACs and occasionally AFIB for one solid year, 24-7. And on November 12 of 2024 they disappeared. The cardiac team at Johns Hopkins ran all types of tests and their original diagnosis of "long Covid" was all they could come up with. Turns out it seems they were spot on. I was informed some people have it after COVID for several years, or some just a few weeks.
Best to you and I hope these symptoms subside for you.

Probably won’t get better. PVCs are hard to get rid of. I had an ablation and for that type ablation, you have to stay awake to keep heart moving as fast as possible. Most painful procedure I ever had. I’m on a table for 90 minutes, awake while they are burning the inside of my heart to create scar tissue to reroute heart rhythms. I still have PVCs. People can live with PVCs. Everybody is different but make sure you get more than 1 opinion from an EP.

lol! My doctor clearly has never had PVCs because he was so against medication, but it’s near impossible to function normally when they occur. I’m a media specialist at a high school and had to teach a class during a pretty bad episode and it was torture.

I never heard of such a thing as being awake during ablation. I had an ablation for PVC’s with sedation similar to what is used during colonoscopy. When I asked prior to my ablation if I would feel any pain, my surgeon assured me that I wouldn’t feel anything and that “ they weren’t in the business of inflicting pain.”

I started with PVC’s and occasional NSVT one month after completing the recommended 3 Covid vaccine doses in 2020. I did not have COVID until 2023.
Cardiologist said that there is no way to prove if the vaccines did or did not cause the problem despite proof that the Covid vaccine has caused cardiac injury, as we all know.

I recently started feeling my PVCs after hiring a personal trainer. I began feeling these in Jan. 2025. Apparently they have been there according to a holter monitor, but I was not able to feel them until recently. I have had several ER visits, urgent care visits, doctor visits and a have seen cardiologist as a cash patient because Kaiser declined me seeing one. This has changed my life. I am in constant worry that it will lead to a heart attack. I have been prescribed 3 different medications by 3 different doctors. What is concerning is when I mention to the new doctor what I have been prescribed, they each said they would never prescribe that to me. I am severely asthmatic so beta blockers is not an option. I am trying to go the natural remedy route first before trying a medication. I have discovered electrolytes have worked for me and can lessen how often I feel them. I also drink half a gallon of water a day, cut out caffeine and alcohol. I also noticed for some reason sugar sets them off. I just started Magnesium Glycinate and trying to practice mindfulness for stress reduction. Please let me know if any of you have found anything to be useful to help reduce these.
