Are you suffering from PVC's or an ectopic heartbeat?

Have you ever felt like your heart skipped a beat? Or perhaps that your heart actually beat an extra beat? Whether it was an isolated incident or has become a regular occurrence, PVC's (premature ventricular contractions -- also know as ventricular premature beat (VPB), ectopic heartbeat, or extrasystole) can be extremely unsettling and downright scary for those who suffer from them.

The good news is that PVC's are almost always harmless. Nevertheless they tend to feel dangerous to those who have them and it can be hard to cope with the cycle of fear, which leads to stress and anxiety, which often then leads to more PVC's.

So while this group may not be a cure for PVC's, I hope that it will be a useful tool for educating each other and learning to cope with this sometimes extremely uncomfortable heart arrythmia.

The Breathe Easy Program

Just wanted to make all of you PVC sufferers aware of a program that has worked for some people who suffer from ectopics. Make sure to check out "The Breathe Easy Program." I have nothing to lose, since nothing else has worked for my PVC's, and Stewart (the creator of the program) has been great at e-mailing me and answering my questions. I know it's going to take time and some effort, so it may be a while before I can post my results here.

In the mean time, feel free to post any questions you have here and hopefully Stewart can answer them for you.
