The past couple of years my PVCs have been much less intense. Still frequent, but not as intense as when they were disrupting my sleep and quality of life. I don't really know why, since I actually went through an extremely stressful few months last year. I was amazed that I wasn't more plagued by PVCs. So I'm just crossing my fingers that it lasts, realizing that an unexpected PVC "attack" can suddenly plague sufferers without any apparent reason.
To new PVC sufferers who stumble across this blog:
- Remember to read through all the comments in each of the posts on this blog. When I was writing more frequently at the height of my PVC problems, I wrote a lot about my experience, what to expect with them, and how to best manage them. Many others shared their advice and experience, which is always useful since everyone's PVC experience is unique.
- Don't forget our Cardiac Arrhythmia Support Group on Facebook. I'm the admin, so just request to join the group and I'll let you in. We currently have almost 400 members who are also suffering from PVCs and are there to offer and receive advice and support on a daily basis.
- I also want to remind everyone about the Skipping Hearts forum, run by one of our readers named Jeff. Another great resource and place to find support!
So, speaking as someone who has been to PVC Hell and back, hang in there and find solace in getting support and encouragement from fellow sufferers who know what it's like!
